Bill Murray Says There’s One Director He Wishes He Had Worked With: ‘It’s One of the Few Regrets I Have’


Bill Murray has few regrets over his eventful career, but there was one potential role he says he wishes he hadn't turned down.

The former “Saturday Night Live” star told Howard Stern that he missed the chance to do a movie with Clint Eastwood — possibly out of fear of being typecast. 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. With Ivan Reitman directing and Murray starring with John Candy, “Stripes” ended up as the fifth-highest grossing film of the year at the box office.
