Will Ferrell (born July 16, 1967 as John William Ferrell) is an American actor, comedian, impressionist, and writer. Saturday Night Live plucked Will from The Groundlings in 1995, and he went on to become arguably the greatest SNL cast member ever, during his seven seasons on the show. His most famous characters include his parodies of President George W. Bush, Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek, and Inside the Actor’s Studio‘s James Lipton. Will found even greater success, when he jumped to the big screen, in films like Old School, Elf, and Anchorman: Legend of Ron Burgundy. He took his comedic talents to the Internet, co-creating the website “Funny or Die” with his good buddy, Adam McKay.
