He later co-founded Second City Toronto and co-starred with Ramis, John Candy, Dave Thomas, Catherine O'Hara and Martin Short on "SCTV." Flaherty played such memorable characters as station manager Guy Caballero and TV horror host County Floyd, and earned nine Emmy nominations for writing, winning twice in 19. He starred in his own sitcom, "The John Larroquette Show," from 1993 to 1996, and earned a fifth Emmy for his recurring role as the manipulative murderer Joey Heric on "The Practice." Later TV assignments included recurring roles on "Boston Legal," "Chuck," and "The Librarians." Larroquette will reprise his role as Dan Fielding for a 2021 sequel series to "Night Court," with Melissa Rauch as the daughter of Harry Anderson's Judge Stone. His success on the series led to occasional feature work, including a reunion with Candy in "Summer Rental," but also extensive TV assignments. Larroquette began his screen career as the narrator of the original "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" in 1973 - a role he repeated for the 2003 remake and 2006 sequel, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" - before landing minor roles in films like "Altered States" and "Cat People." His breakout role, as self-impressed, woman-hungry prosecutor Dan Fielding, began three years after "Stripes" and netted him four Emmy wins. Now in his seventh decade, Murray appears content to pick and choose projects that strike his fancy: He's a mainstay in indies like Anderson's "The French Dispatch" and Coppola's "On the Rocks," but is also breaking his long-standing distance from the "Ghostbusters" franchise by reprising Peter Venkman in "Ghostbusters: Afterlife." Recently, he suggested - in true, off-the-cuff Bill Murray fashion - that he has filmed an undisclosed role in " Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania." With an Oscar nomination, two Emmys, a Golden Globe, and two Independent Spirit Awards, Bill Murray can continue his eccentric path as long as he wants. He has also established himself as a dramatic actor and character player through numerous collaborations with Wes Anderson on films like "Rushmore" and "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" (he has appeared in every Anderson film except "Bottle Rocket"), as well as Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation, George Clooney's "Monuments Men," and Jim Jarmusch's "The Dead Don't Die." That career has followed a unique arc over the past four decades: Murray appeared in box office blockbusters like "Ghostbusters" and "Groundhog Day," both with "Stripes" co-star Harold Ramis, as well as "Charlie's Angels," "Zombieland," and numerous others.
