Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell was a member of the cast of Saturday Night Live before going on to be a star in big-screen comedies like 'Elf' 'Anchorman,' and Talladega Nights. Will Ferrell was born in Irvine in 1967. He began his comedy career as a part of the group from Los Angeles called The Groundlings. He was a Saturday Night Live cast member for seven years and became a huge comedic draw with off-color hits, such as Old School 2003 and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy 2004. Ferrell co-founded Funny or Die, a popular video streaming website. He also achieved successes as an actor voiceover in animated films , such as Megamind (2010). John William Ferrell was born on July 16 1967 in Irvine, California. The youngest child of Righteous Brothers keyboardist Lee Ferrell and teacher Kay Ferrell, Will was--by his own admission--hardly the class clown when he was when he was a student at University High School. Ferrell who was calm and quiet decided to leave his mark on football in which he established an all-time record at the school for the most field goals scored. Ferrell was a more laid-back person in suburban homes and didn't exhibit the same outlandish or humorous outbursts later to define his career. In an interview with Esquire, his mother said that Ferrell was "very calm and even-tempered. He was very easygoing." "You're familiar with those Matchbox automobiles?" Will will line up his Matchbox cars, by himself and be utterly content. If you were to ask him, "Do you want to visit Disneyland today or line up your cars?' He'd need to think about it. Ferrell was not a perfect straight man, but that's not to say he was not. A glimpse of Ferrell's comic talents was displayed each morning at high school when Ferrell disguised himself in order to announce the events of the day over the PA system. Ferrell graduated in 1986, and enrolled at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. There he joined Delta Tau fraternity to pursue the degree of a sports journalist.
