Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell was a member of the cast of Saturday Night Live before going on to be a star in big-screen comedy films like 'Elf 'Anchorman,' and Talladega Nights. Will Ferrell was born in Irvine, California in 1967. He began his career in comedy by playing an actor for the improv troupe based in Los Angeles, the group called the Groundlings. He was a Saturday Night Live cast member for seven years and became a huge comedic draw with off-color shows, such as Old School 2003 and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy 2004. Ferrell was also a co-founder of the video streaming website Funny or Die and enjoyed great success in voice acting in animated films such as Megamind (2010). John William Ferrell was conceived in Irvine, California on July 16 1967. Will Ferrell is the oldest child of Righteous Brothers keyboardist Lee Ferrell (and Kay Ferrell), but he wasn't the class clown while he was at University High School. Studious and somewhat quiet, Ferrell decided to leave his impression on the football field which is where he established an academic record for the highest number of field goals scored. Ferrell was more of a relaxed person in suburban homes and didn't show the same kind of outrageous or humorous expressions later in his career. In an interview with Esquire the magazine, his mother stated that Ferrell was "very even-tempered, very easygoing." "You have any memories of those Matchbox cars?" Will will be very happy in lining up all his Matchbox cars all by himself. You'd ask, "You want to go to Disneyland today?" This would be a tough discussion for him to think about. Ferrell was not an ideal straight man however that doesn't mean to say he wasn't. One glimpse of Ferrell's comedy talents was displayed each day at school when he disguised himself and announced his day's events on the PA system. Ferrell earned his degree from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles in 1986. He joined Delta Tau fraternity, and pursued a degree for sports journalism.
