WILL FERRELL (Mustafa) recently began his fourth season on the legendary NBC late night hit, "Saturday Night Live." Some of his most memorable characters from the show are Craig the Spartan Cheerleader; the musical middle school teacher Marty Culp; and Tom Wilkins, the hyperactive co-host of "Morning Latte." Among his many impressions are Janet Reno, Alex Trebek, Neil Diamond and the late great Chicago Cubs sportscaster, Harry Caray.
Will most recently was seen on the big screen starring as Steve Butabi in the Paramount comedy, A Night at the Roxbury, which he co-wrote with castmate Chris Kattan and Steve Koren. Will made his feature film debut in the New Line hit, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. He also recently wrapped production on the Nixon parody, Dick, as well as Superstar for Paramount, starring opposite another "SNL" castmate, Molly Shannon.
Raised in Irvine, CA, Will attended the University of Southern California and graduated with a degree in Sports Information. Upon graduation, he worked as a sportscaster on a weekly show broadcast over a local cable channel. Soon after though, he enrolled in acting classes and stand-up comedy workshops at a nearby community college. Ultimately he was asked to join the infamous comedy/improv group The Groundlings after just one year of training. It was at The Groundlings where Will was discovered for "Saturday Night Live." |
