During a question and answer interview, Murphy revealed that he pursued a career in journalism after his sister was attacked by a sealion while tow-surfing off the coast of his hometown on April 13th, 2007. The sealion leaped from the ocean and went for Ella’s throat. Its sharp teeth pierced her neck near her carotid artery, breaking her jaw and knocking out her teeth. Before she lost consciousness, she was saved from the water by her girlfriends on board the boat and a quick-thinking family friend, who managed to expertly maneuver the vessel between Ella and the animal before it could strike again.
