Bill Murray uses a 1-800 number to field perspective acting roles for this key reason.
The Big Picture With apologies to Ray Parker Jr... "Need a quirky guy, for your next new film. Who you gonna call? Bill Murray!" Literally. See, if you want to talk to Bill Murray about gauging his interest in any potential movie project, there is no lawyer, nor is there an agent to go through. No, if you want Murray, you need one thing: an elusive 1-800 number.
Why Does Bill Murray Use a 1-800 Number? In the aforementioned interview with IndieWire, Bill Murray explains why he uses the 1-800 number in lieu of conventional means: "I had a house phone, and it would just ring and ring. Finally, I'd pick up the phone and I'd say, 'Who in the f**k is calling me and letting my phone ring like that?' The agent would say, 'Oh, I'm sorry, I'm calling for so-and-so.
Bill Murray's long acting career suggests more than enough people are willing to face the same obstacles Melfi describes just to have him in their films. And sometimes, you just get lucky, as is the case with Joel Cohen, the director of Garfield. He was one of the fortunate ones to get that callback and sent in the script, which Murray agreed to do. Only Murray famously mistook Joel Cohen -for Joel Coen, one-half of the Coen Brothers, responsible for films like Inside Llewyn Davis.
