Eddie Murphy and Axel Foley
Eddie Murphy’s distinct voice may instantly be recognizable as Shrek’s lovable donkey. Still, it’s his portrayal of Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop (1984) that remains one of his most iconic roles.
As Axel Foley, Murphy brought to life a cheeky yet charming young character who navigated the undercover cop plotline with finesse. The Beverly Hills Cop franchise became a classic, and Murphy’s performance at its helm won over audiences with his wit and charisma.
