...Eddie was a grea tcomedian turned comedic actor who decided not to keep doing stand up...the longer he stayed away from stand up and made millions elsewhere, the less he both wanted to do stand up and could do stand up...i can't "prove" it, but i'd say "Top 5" speaks on this subject a bit, and in somes places is aluding to people just like Murphy...
....i've never heard anyone dispute his stand up chops or that he didn't put in alot of work as a stand up, so this post is almost an anomaly to me...
...and i'm not sure how you think hollywood would greenlight 2 standup movies from a guy who had no proven stand up chops...had ANYONE made a stand up "movie" b4 Eddie?? i get that he was a box office star, but that doesn't translate to them giving him that chance based off 3-4 scripted movies....
