Known for
Will Forte, born in Alameda, California in 1970, is an American writer-performer whose deadpan-around-absurdity voice defined a stretch of Saturday Night Live cast history. He wrote and performed on SNL from 2002 to 2010, then wrote and starred in the feature spin-off MacGruber (2010) and its later Peacock series revival. He drew serious dramatic attention as Bruce Dern s son in Alexander Payne s Nebraska (2013). He then created and starred in the post-apocalyptic comedy The Last Man on Earth (2015), which won him a Primetime Emmy nomination and pushed his sensibility to its logical extreme.
