Phil Hartman was a Canadian-born American actor, comedian, screenwriter and graphic artist. Born in Brantford, Ontario, Hartman and his family immigrated to the United States. After graduating from California State University, Northridge with a degree in graphic arts, he designed album covers for bands like Poco and America. Hartman joined the comedy group The Groundlings in 1975 and there helped comedian Paul Reubens develop his character Pee-wee Herman. Hartman co-wrote the screenplay for the film Pee-wee's Big Adventure and made recurring appearances on Reubens' show Pee-wee's Playhouse as 'Kaptain Karl'..
Hartman became well-known in the late 1980s when he joined the show Saturday Night Live. He won fame for his impressions, particularly of President Bill Clinton, and stayed on the show for eight seasons. In 1995, he starred as 'Bill McNeal' in the NBC sitcom NewsRadio. He also had frequent roles on The Simpsons, and appeared in the films Houseguest, Sgt. Bilko, Jingle All the Way, and Small Soldiers.
Hartman had been twice divorced before he married Brynn (née Omdahl) in 1987; the couple had two children together. However, their marriage was rocky due in part to Brynn's appearent drug use. On May 28, 1998, Brynn shot and killed her husband while he slept in their Encino, Los Angeles home. Then she committed suicide several hours later at the location.
