Bill Murray (Ken Bowden)

Bill Murray (Ken Bowden)

Bill Murray is perhaps the actor that got the most out of his role in Wild Things - his role in the movie has been described by fans as an original 1990s "Saul Goodman," the Breaking Bad character that went on to get his own spinoff show. Bill played the role of Ken, a public defender that was willing and giving his best to defend an accused statutory rapist - not something a lot of people are willing to do.

Of course, Murray was a big star even before his role in Wild Things, but it is indisputable that the movie helped propel his career into a higher gear. His role as Ken helped Bill to get typecast for some of his future roles as a "shyster." After Wild Things, Bill briefly became an indie superstar in the cult movie "Lost in Translation," and the "Wes Anderson Oeuvre." In his personal life, Bill is an original party crasher and even has been known to even work as a bartender.
