IN CHARACTER
A face you won’t forget
Willie (I Hate When That Happens)
Played by Billy Crystal
Billy Crystal's chatty, laid-back worker on SNL in 1984–85. Paired with Christopher Guest's Frankie, Willie trades matter-of-fact stories of grisly self-inflicted pain while reminiscing about the pair's jobs and social lives.
