A face that makes you laugh.
The person behind the punchline
A little backstory.
Martin Freeman is an English actor whose sketch comedy appearances include hosting Saturday Night Live in December 2014. That episode used his familiar screen roles as comic material, including a parody that combined The Hobbit with The Office. His understated reactions and precise character work fit naturally into the ensemble’s sketches.
Freeman played Tim Canterbury in The Office, Dr. John Watson in Sherlock and Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit films. His other television roles include Lester Nygaard in Fargo and Chris Carson in The Responder. He has received Emmy and BAFTA awards, with a career that moves between everyday comedy, fantasy and dramatic performance.
