See the Cast of ‘Caddyshack’ Then and Now
The 1980 film 'Caddyshack' is arguably one of the most famous comedies of its generation. Set at the upscale Bushwood Country Club, the film follows the many subplots of its A-List cast. From Danny trying to raise money for college to Carl Spackler and his many attempts to annihilate that pesky (and infamous) groundhog, 'Caddyshack' is just gets funnier every time you watch it.
So let's take a look back at the cast of 'Caddyshack' then and see where they are now.
Then: Bill Murray was already a star from his 'Saturday Night Live' days and had been featured in 'Meatballs' just a year prior. Much of his famed dialogue in some of the film's funniest scenes was improvised.

Now: Murray recently played FDR in 'Hyde Park on Hudson.' It's a tribute to his eccentric genius that we totally bought him in the role.
