Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell a devenit unul dintre cei mai cunoscuti actori din cinematografia americana in urma participarii sale la emisiunea de televiziune "Saturday Night Live" timp de sapte editii memorabile, din 1995 pana in 2002.

Concentrandu-se apoi asupra activitatii de pe marele ecran, el s-a remarcat ca un adevarat star in comedii de succes mai recente, precum: Elful/ Elf, Vitezomanu’ Ricky Bobby/ Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Ce vraji a mai facut nevasta mea/ Bewitched, Vechea gasca/ Old School, Kicking & Screaming si Producatorii/ The Producers, pentru rolul din acest ultim film fiind nominalizat in 2005 la Premiul Globul de Aur, la categoria "Cel mai bun actor in rol secundar" intr-un muzical sau o comedie.

Recent, a colaborat cu regizorul Woody Allen la filmul Melinda si Melinda/ Melinda and Melinda si a asigurat vocea personajului Barbatul cu Palaria Galbena, din filmul de animatie Curious George.

Nascut in Irvine, California, a urmat Universitatea California de Sud si a studiat ziaristica in domeniul sportiv, lucrand ocazional ca reporter sportiv pentru un canal de televiziune local. A hotarat sa se inscrie la clasa de comedie la faimosul Teatru Groundlings din Los Angeles si a devenit actor permanent curand dupa aceea. In scurt timp, a participat la auditiile pentru emisiunea "Saturday Night Live" si a devenit unul dintre cei mai pretiosi membrii ai echipei acestui serial.

A mai detinut mici roluri in seriale de televiziune (On Our Own, Grace Under Fire, Living Single) care au dus la roluri in filme precum: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, The Thin Pink Line si The Suburbans inainte de a juca impreuna cu Chris Kattan in comedia TV, O noapte la Roxbury/ A Night at the Roxbury. Amandoi au participat la scenariu, creind doua dintre cele mai populare personaje TV, Fratii Butabi.

A continuat sa apara in filme precum: Dick, Superstar, Cum de s-a inecat Mona?/ Drowning Mona, Un barbat cuceritor/ The Ladies Man, Austin Powers 2: Spionul care mi-a tras-o!/ Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Vedetele contraataca/ Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Zoolandre Manechinul/ Zoolander si Boat Trip inainte de a avea mare succes cu rolurile Frank the Tank in comedia Vechea gasca/ Old School si naivul ajutor al lui Mos Craciun, Buddy, in filmul de mare succes in box-office, Elful/ Elf. A urmat rolul reporterului din anii ’70 din filmul Un stirist legendar: Ron Burgundy/ Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (la care a fost si co-scenarist), iar apoi si-a consolidat statutul de actor de frunte prezent in filme importante.

Va mai putea fi urmarit in filmele Blades of Glory, alaturi de Jon Heder si Will Arnett si in Old School 2, unde colaboreaza din nou cu regizorul Todd Phillips si apare alaturi de actorii Luke Wilson si Vince Vaughn.
