The person behind the punchline

A little backstory.

Bill Hader is an actor, comedian, writer and director who performed on Saturday Night Live from 2005 to 2013. His work included a wide range of impressions and the Weekend Update character Stefon, developed with writer John Mulaney. Hader's sketch career continued with Documentary Now!, a series he co-created that recreates documentary styles while inventing their subjects and stories.

Hader later co-created Barry with Alec Berg, starring as a hitman drawn into an acting class and also writing, producing and directing the series. His film work includes Superbad, The Skeleton Twins and Trainwreck. The range of those projects takes him from short comic characters to longer stories that mix comedy with dramatic tension.
