Eddie Murphy Reflects on Unique Career Journey in Documentary
Eddie Murphy disclosed in the Apple TV+ documentary 'Number One on the Call Sheet' that he has only auditioned once in his entire career, for 'Saturday Night Live' at the age of 19. His immediate success on SNL led to a rapid rise in Hollywood, as he was offered his first film role without the typical audition process. Murphy emphasized his belief in his destined fame from a young age, stating, 'I just knew I was going to be famous.' Throughout his career, he sought advice from industry legends like Sidney Poitier and James Brown, who offered insights on navigating fame and wealth. Despite their mentorship, Murphy noted that he was in 'uncharted waters' as a Black actor making his mark in Hollywood. The documentary also features reflections from other prominent Black actors, celebrating Murphy's unique contributions to the industry.
