Bill Hader
Known for
Few comedians have reinvented themselves as thoroughly as Bill Hader. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1978, he spent eight seasons on 'Saturday Night Live' (2005-2013) building a reputation as a master impressionist, while stealing scenes as Officer Slater in 'Superbad' (2007) and voicing Fear in 'Inside Out' (2015). Then came 'Barry' (2018-2023), the hitman-turned-actor series he co-created, directed and starred in, winning two Emmys and revealing a filmmaker of real darkness and precision. He also faced Pennywise as the adult Richie in 'It Chapter Two' (2019). Anxiety-prone off screen, surgical on it.
