He has earned numerous accolades including a BAFTA Award, two Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and two Independent Spirit Awards, as well as a nomination for an Academy Award. In 2016, Murray was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Murray was born in Evanston, Illinois, to Lucille (1921–1988), a mail-room clerk, and Edward Joseph Murray II (1921–1967), a lumber salesman. He was raised in Wilmette, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago. Murray and his eight siblings grew up in an Irish Catholic family. His paternal grandfather was from County Cork, while his maternal ancestors were from County Galway. Three of his siblings, John Murray, Joel Murray, and Brian Doyle-Murray, are also actors. Murray attended Regis University in Denver, Colorado, where he studied pre-med for a year. He dropped out after being arrested for marijuana possession. In 1973, he moved to New York City to pursue a career in comedy. He joined the National Lampoon Radio Hour, and later appeared in the National Lampoon stage show Lemmings. In 1977, Murray joined the cast of Saturday Night Live. He quickly became one of the show's most popular cast members, known for his deadpan delivery and his ability to improvise. He left the show in 1980 to pursue a film career. Murray's first major film role was in the 1979 comedy Meatballs. He went on to star in a number of successful comedies, including Caddyshack (1980), Stripes (1981), Ghostbusters (1984), and Groundhog Day (1993). He has also starred in a number of critically acclaimed dramas, such as Lost in Translation (2003) and Broken Flowers (2005). Murray is known for his eccentric and unpredictable behavior. He has been known to disappear from sets and film projects, and he has often been quoted as saying that he doesn't like to work. However, he is also known for his generosity and his willingness to help out his fellow actors.
After his debut in his series, it's Billy Batson's turn to shout the words Shazam and shine on the big screen. Billy Batson is the champion of the wizard Shazam, Captain Marvel, for a few months now. Not long ago, he moved to his new foster home, the Vasquez family. Along with him are two other foster children, Fred, a young boy the same age as Billy, who now needs crutches to walk. And Mary, who is a little older than Billy and Fred. Unfortunately, Billy has difficulty getting close to the two, mainly because he is secretly a superhero, which means he has to make up many excuses to disappear and save the day, whether it's making rescues or stopping crazy criminals. The disappearances and running away to act as a hero not only hinder his relationship with his foster siblings, but also with his foster parents, putting the entire adoption at risk. As if all that wasn't bad enough, he is visited in a dream by the Wizard Shazam, warning of a future threat: his children, two demon lords, have escaped from their prisons and want not only to spread chaos on Earth but also the power of the Rock of Eternity. It's up to Billy to be the only one who can stop them and save the day. It's time to say the word, "SHAZAM!"
