Up next, Murphy will reprise his role of Prince Akeem in Coming 2 America, which is expected to come out later this year. He received a Golden Globe nomination for this performance. It's believed that his acting work in Norbit might've prevented him from getting his much-expected Oscar glory.Īfter an unremarkable string of movies, including Meet Dave, Imagine That, Tower Heist, and A Thousand Words, Eddie Murphy made a triumphant comeback in 2019's biopic, Dolemite is My Name, based on the life of Rudy Ray Moore. He also earned an Oscar nomination (and almost a win) for his acclaimed supporting turn in Dreamgirls. The Saturday Night Live veteran is one of the most acclaimed stand-up performers ever, and his film work in 48 Hours, Trading Places, Coming to America, The Nutty Professor, Doctor Dolittle, and the Beverly Hills Cop movies made him one of the most bankable comedy stars of the '80s and '90s.Īs a voice actor, outside of Shrek, Murphy also lent his talents to Mulan and the animated series, The PJs.

After she appeared in 2014's Annie remake, Diaz stepped away from acting and this film remains her last title. In the years since Shrek's release, Diaz has notably been seen in Gangs of New York, In Her Shoes, The Holiday, Bad Teacher, My Sister's Keeper, Knight and Day, The Box, The Green Hornet, and The Other Woman, to name a few titles. Originally set to be played by Janeane Garofalo, Diaz became another late addition to the cast, though she certainly provided a memorable voice-only performance in the animated hit. As Princess Fiona, the young woman locked away in a castle who finds an unlikely suitor in Shrek, Cameron Diaz played the most transformative role in Shrek, it's safe to say.
