BILL Murray was ambushed the other day by a disgruntled former colleague at a VIP screening of "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou." At a Q&A session with director Wes Anderson, Anjelica Huston, Willem Dafoe and some of the rest of the cast at the Hollywood event, one man announced, "I am a cameraman, and I've worked with all the actors onstage. Anjelica, you're wonderful. Willem you're great. But, Bill you are a bastard. You are horrible to work with. My question is for Wes and the cast. What's it like to work with someone as awful and difficult as Bill Murray?" After a stunned silence, Huston muttered, "Bill isn't a bastard." Anderson demanded, "Why are you in a position to make such a statement?" Murray didn't react at all. "I was a cameraman on 'Charlie's Angels,' and Bill Murray is awful," the man continued. "I have every right to say that." Our spy snickers: "This guy crashed the screening solely to confront Murray and call him a bastard to his face in front of a theater full of people. The guy totally had b - - - s."

Bill Murray that BASTARD!!!
I wish I could do that to my last boss.
Murry should try to drown this guy by putting a hose in his big mouth, like in the movies.
"The guy totally had b - - - s."
Why don't I know what curse they are bleeping out here?
Put this in the any PR is GOOD PR bin.
I think it rhymes with "halls".
golf balls
If I recall, the lead actor from Rushmore also discussed tales to the effect that Bill Murray was not nice off camera.
Obviously Wes Anderson got along with him well enough to work with him in another movie.
Bill is a member of Sleep Hallow Country Club in Westchester. I have several friends there who are also members. They all claim he's delightful. The true measure of a person is not how he behaves at work. We are not employed to make friends.
And here I considered Murray a mere A-Hole...
So you're going to take this guy at his word then? Murray is a Republican.
Based upon my observations, I don't like the guy at all, just as I like neither McCain and Specter -- both "Republicans," btw.
Has anyone seen Murrays new movie? The clips look very funny.
I like most of Murray's work and I don't care how many times he cussed out a cameraman or kicked his dog.
I think that in part Bill was gruff to his fellow lead actor because, much as the Delta House actors in Animal House didn't associate with the other frat's actors (like Kevin Bacon), it was about somewhat living the role.
