Funny you should post those pictures of Eddie Murphy and his infamous skit of ‘Mr Robinson’s Neighborhood’, Murphy (who has remarkably cleaned up his act from his obscene days on (for example) his ‘Delirious’ Tour, told how Fred Rogers contacted him personally after his SNL skit and complimented him on his skills and ability, but asked him if he would please not do that skit again, that he would never want any children to possibly confuse Eddie’s character ‘Mr. Robinson’ with ‘Mr Rogers’, and Eddie Murphy almost choked up saying “it was Mr. ROGERS for Godssakes, calling ME!! How could I say no?!?”

Not only did he keep his promise to never do that skit again, he moved into a whole new genre of more family friendly films (the new ‘Dr. Doolittle’ for one), and I think that speaks well of him.
