Eddie Murphy is the star in Dolemite Is My Name, but he actually may not be the most over-the-top personality in the film.
At one point Rudy Ray Moore convinces D’Urville Martin to join the film by giving him a director’s credit.
The actor takes the gig, but realizes it’s a hot mess and believes it probably won’t make money. He then “directs” the film, but that mostly involves him drinking and making snarky comments such as, “I see no reason to do it again” after he’s called “cut.”
