Groundhog Day is Tuesday, February 2.
In celebration of the holiday, we looked at where the cast members of the film "Groundhog Day" are nearly 30 years since its premiere in 1993.
Bill Muray has acted in numerous films from "Lost in Translation" to "The Life Aquatic."
"Groundhog Day" hit theaters in February 1993, shortly following the holiday it shares a name with, and immediately became a hit.
The film follows weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) as he reluctantly travels to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to cover the small town's Groundhog Day celebrations. When he awakes the next day, Phil finds himself stuck in a time loop and is forced to live the holiday over and over again.
The film grossed $70.9 million worldwide and was one of the most successful films of the year. So much so that over the years the term "Groundhog Day" has been adopted into our everyday language as a term synonymous with monotonous.
Since Groundhog Day is on Tuesday, we decided to see where the cast of the hit movie is 28 years later.
