the nutty professor (known as julius e. kelp in the original film (1963) and as prof. sherman klump in the 1996 remake, and by his alter ego buddy love) is a fictional character portrayed by jerry lewis in "the nutty professor" and its respective sequel, and by eddie murphy in the 1996 version and its 2000 sequel "". julius e. kelp is an awkward and shy but intelligent and lively chemist professor. sherman klump is a jolly, kind-hearted science teacher at welman college. murphy also played the rest of klump's family in the sequel. lewis was not fond of murphy's characters, due to excessive fart jokes in the films.
