Davis is just one of many actors who have recounted their disturbing encounters with Murray. Seth Green, who met the director on the set of “Saturday Night Live,” called Murray one of the rudest celebrities he’s ever met.

“He saw me sitting on the arm of this chair and made a big fuss about me being in his seat.” Green recalled his meeting with the director in the green room of “SNL,” per Insider.

The actress, who was 9 at the time, said they had an exchange, which ended with her saying to Murray, “Are you too stupid? You are too rude to tell a nine year old to get off of you [seat] – what is this power play?’”

Enraged by the comment, the “Ghostbusters” actor grabbed Green by the ankles and “dangled” him over a trash can.

Green said he was left “horrified” and in tears after the encounter but was comforted by several other actors who appeared in the “SNL” skit.
