One of the many comic actors to make the leap from
Saturday Night Live
to the big screen, Ferrell exudes a gawky, everyman likability. This tall, curly-haired player performed with The Groundlings before landing on
SNL
, where he became popular for his hilarious impressions (James Lipton, Alex Trebek, George "Dubya") and broad characterizations (an overgrown cheerleader, an overzealous lover). One of his creations, a bridge-and-tunnel clubgoer, led to his first leading movie role in 1998's lackluster
A Night at the Roxbury
, but future projects proved more rewarding. After a succession of small parts in small movies, Ferrell popped up in fellow funnyman Ben Stiller's modest 2001 hit
Zoolander
and stole the show as eccentric fashion-designer-cum-terrorist Mugatu (a reference to a furry
Star Trek
villain). Ferrell left
SNL
the next year to concentrate exclusively on the big screen, and by 2003 he was a bankable star, with a laugh-out-loud supporting role as an overgrown frat boy in
Old School
and his lovable turn in the feel-good smash
Elf
. Some of his films did better than others
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
, which he also cowrote (perhaps inspired by his early days as a sportscaster for a local cable station), was a hit, while
Bewitched
and
The Producers
bombed. Inspite of the occasional flops, however, Ferrell always retained his regular-guy appeal.
