Murphy's latest high-profile biopic role comes on the heels of his acclaimed turn as Rudy Ray Moore in DOLEMITE IS MY NAME, further cementing his status as a go-to actor for bringing iconic African American figures to life.
Condon, who directed the musical drama DREAMGIRLS, is a perfect fit to bring the wild, genre-defying story of Clinton and his pioneering funk collective Parliament-Funkadelic to the screen.
