Bill Murray Reveals Actor/Director He “Regrets” Turning Down For Movie Role


Although Bill Murray has plenty of hit films to his name, there's one role he wishes he didn't turn down.

The Oscar nominee recently revealed “one of the few regrets” he has in his career after his attempt to work with Clint Eastwood in a film, following the success of his own 1981 army comedy Stripes. So I called him out of the blue, and he said, ‘Would you ever want to do another service comedy?’ Because I just made Stripes and he had this great idea for an enormous Navy thing,” added Murray. The film was likely Heartbreak Ridge(1986), a dark comedy directed by and starring Eastwood as Marine Gunnery Sergeant Tom Highway.
