If you were a fan of the Comedy Central series “Chappelle’s Show,” you know Charlie Murphy.
The multi-talented actor, comedian, and writer was a popular cast member, especially known for his “Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories” segments.
His acting career began in the 1980s, but Charlie was something of a latecomer to the world of standup comedy – where his younger brother Eddie was already a major star.

As it turned out, Charlie Murphy had a terrific talent for standup. And in 2009 he wrote a book called The Making of a Stand-Up Guy. And that’s when I met him.
So here now, from 2009, Charlie Murphy.
Charlie Murphy died in 2017. He was 57.
