Phil Hartman Biography

Happy 60th, Phil Hartman

Phil Hartman spent eight seasons on Saturday Night Live, earning his keep with impersonations of Bill Clinton and Frank Sinatra. A reliable character actor and versatile voice actor, he also appeared in feature films, cartoons (he voiced Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz on The Simpsons), and commercials. Hartman was a co-star of the critically acclaimed sitcom News Radio; in 1998, while that show was still on the air, Hartman was murdered in his home by his wife, who then committed suicide.
