| Biography
American actor Michael Murphy pursued a high school teaching career upon graduation from the University of Arizona. Among the subjects he taught was drama; good-looking and personable enough to get paid for reciting lines to an audience older than the age of 18, Murphy chucked the teaching profession to work on stage. In films since 1967, Murphy is best remembered as Jill Clayburgh's cheating — and uncontrollably sobbing — husband in An Unmarried Woman (1978). Michael Murphy has also functioned as a stock company player for director Robert Altman (Countdown [1968], McCabe and Mrs. Miller [1971], Nashville [1974], etc.); in 1988 Munrphy portrayed a pre-fab presidential candidate in Altman's satirical HBO miniseries Tanner.

- Children: Maggie Murphy (born in 1989) and John 'Jack' Branton Murphy (born on 20th August 1992).
- First appeared in a Robert Altman production with an episode of the "Combat" TV series. He subsequently appeared in many of the famed directors film hits: Countdown (1968), M*A*S*H (1970), Brewster McCloud (1970), McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) Nashville (1975), The Caine Mutiny Court Martial (1988) (TV movie) and Kansas City (1996).
- Hit his infamous cinematic peak as a philandering husband cheating on Jill Clayburgh in An Unmarried Woman (1978) and as Woody Allen's married pal having an affair with Woody's girlfriend Diane Keaton in Manhattan (1979).

- In 1978 he played two characters named Martin in two separate films: As Jill Clayburgh's adulterous husband in An Unmarried Woman and as Glenda Jackson's commitment-seeking boyfriend in The Class of Miss MacMichael.
- Has appeared in more Robert Altman feature films and television productions than any other actor in movie history.
- His character, Sen. Judson Pilager, from John Sayles's Silver City (2004), is a thinly veiled, negative characterization of George H.W. Bush.
- Paul Thomas Anderson cast him as Alan Kligman, Esq. in Magnolia (1999) because he admired the actor's work. Anderson's casting choice of Murphy was also an homage to Robert Altman, who has cast the character actor prominently in a number of roles in his films and TV productions over the years. Henry Gibson, another Altman regular, also had a role in the film.
- Appeared in the 1984 drama Talk to Me, in which he coincidentally co-starred with his fellow Strange Behavior (1981) actors Louise Fletcher and Dan Shor.
