From 1962 to 1964, he taught high school English and drama in Los Angeles.Murphy's most notable appearance was as Woody Allen's best friend Yale, the self-tortured adulterer, in Allen's masterpiece Manhattan (1979). The two had acted together earlier in Martin Ritt's The Front (1976) and had become good friends. Surpisingly, despite the excellent performance Murphy gave in the film, Allen hasn't used him again.Murphy's career as a first-rate supporting player has continued for four decades, with major parts in Paul Mazursky's An Unmarried Woman (1978), which he calls "the first of the whining yuppies," Peter Weir's The Year of Living Dangerously (1982), and Oliver Stone's Salvador (1986).
