Snoop DoggCharlie MurphyEddie MurphySpike LeeRick James If youre anything other than an obsessed Eddie Murphy fan (Anyone? Anyone?), you may not have known about his brother, Charlie Murphy, until he appeared in the wildly popular and mercilessly quoted Charlie Murphys True Hollywood Stories on Chappelles Show. His tales of high and sloppy times with Rick James and Prince were highlights in a pretty much all-highlight show, and hes parlayed his popularity and talent into a standup career. Someone slap his manager on the back! Murphys acting talents can be found in Spike Lee films (Jungle Fever and Mo Better Blues) and Chris Rock vehicles alike (CB4!). Hes also done voiceovers for Boondocks cartoons and the videogame Grand Theft AutoSan Andreas, and he wrote an animated pilot for Snoop Dogg and MTV titled Tales of the Dogg. (Speaking of back-slapping, Snoops agent is doing a bang-up job. We cant lose him no matter how little we watch television.) Feb. 14-15, 8 & 10:15 p.m., 2009 Related Content
