Murphy Martin ("Brian Epstien") rocketed into this world 26 years ago with the gift of storytelling. Murphy received a BFA in Acting from the California Institute of the Arts. Since moving to Los Angeles a year ago, he has appeared in short films, feature films, web series and has worked as a joke writer.
He feels fortunate to portray such an interesting and complex character, a man so poised and ambitious, yet troubled and alone.
