When his parents separated, Eddie and his brother Charlie lived with Lillian. In 1969, their father was murdered, allegedly by his mistress, and their mother took ill, so the boys lived in foster care until their mother recovered. Eventually, their mother remarried Vernon Lynch, and Eddie spent most of his childhood in Roosevelt, New York.
, Eddie dreamed of becoming a comedian from when he was a teenager, and his idols were Bill Cosby and Robin Williams. He made his acting debut as Reggie Hammond in the 1982 movie “48 Hrs.”, opposite Nick Nolt, and Eddie was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture – Male.
He followed with his roles in “Trading Places” (1983) and “Best Defense” (1984), before he was seen playing one of his most notable roles as Axel Foley in “Beverly Hills Cop”, also in 1984.
The list of Eddie’s roles is too long, however, worth mentioning are his roles in “The Golden Child” (1986), “Coming to America” (1988), “Doctor Dolittle” (1998), and “Daddy Day Care” (2003), among many others.
Eddie was nominated for the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of James ‘Thunder’ Early in the 2006 movie “Dreamgirls”, also starring Jamie Foxx and Beyoncé.
