In the ‘90s, Phil Hartman was one of television’s most beloved comedians. After eight seasons on Saturday Night Live and a record-setting 153 episodes everyone knew his name – but very few people knew him. Because despite his well-known warmth and generosity, Hartman was constantly disappearing into his SNL characters, the cartoons he voiced and finally into a marriage that ended in murder. Though his career was cut short by violence Hartman has left us with a wealth of performances both hilarious and poignant. Adding in the voices of friends, loved ones and colleagues, Phil Hartman: Behind Closed Doors reveals a man of intense intelligence, dedication and talent—man known by few but loved by many.
