Seth Green Says Bill Murray Dropped Him Into A Trash Can As A 9 Year Old On Snl Set

Ghostbusters actor Bill Murray may be a big star, but Seth Green is certainly not a fan. Green, a former child actor, was once brought in to appear in a comedy segment for an episode of Saturday Night Live while Murray was serving as a host. As explained in a recent chat with Good Mythical Morning, he names Murray as the “rudest” celebrity he’s ever met based on an encounter they had on the set of Saturday Night Live when Green was just nine years old.

According to Green, he was hanging out backstage in the green room with his mother and some SNL cast members when he asked to change the channel on the television. Eddie Murphy told him that was fine, but he’d have to do it himself by climbing up shelving to reach the knob. Green says Murphy found that amusing and they watched TV together, and things were fine until Murray entered the room, allegedly growing quite angry over Green sitting on the armrest of a sofa that the Groundhog Day star had wanted for himself. As Green explains:

Green says that another child actor who was present pointed out that this was “the Bill Murray,” to which Green replied, “the Bill Murray?” At that point, Green’s mother suggested the 9-year-old move, but his reluctance to switch seats resulted in Murray allegedly lashing out.

Green says the show got back on track when Murphy and Tim Kazurinsky came into his dressing room. They told Green that “everybody knows Bill’s a d*ck” and asked the child actor if he could be the pro by doing the segment. This made Green feel better, and while he hasn’t seen Murray since, he says he did wind up bumping into Murphy years later, and was shocked to hear that he remembered the SNL situation.

Bill Murray Was Mean to SNL’s 1990s Cast, Rob Schneider Says

Seth Green isn’t the only person to recently criticize Bill Murray’s behavior. Murray just recently settled an assault suit against him with reportedly a very high payout. Actor and fellow former SNL alum Rob Schneider also said this week on The Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show that Murray wasn’t very kind to the 1990s cast members when he returned to guest host an episode in 1993. Schneider claims that Murray might be kind to fans, but he hated Chris Farley “with a passion” along with Adam Sandler and other SNL cast members.
