Életrajz
A three time Emmy nominee for “Everybody Loves Raymond,” Fred Willard radiates a unique charm that has established him as one of our generation’s most gifted comic actors. A master of sketch comedy, Fred is most heralded for his quick wit and improvisational expertise which he has exemplified in 100 appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
Fred is an alumnus of Second City and was a founding member of the classic improv group, the Ace Trucking Company. He and Martin Mull co-starred in Norman Lear’s innovative cult classic, late night talk show, “Fernwood 2Night.” Fred married Martin Mull in the first gay TV wedding on “Roseanne.” He has hundreds of TV credits which include hosting “Saturday Night Live,” playing a killer on “Diagnosis Murder,” the President of the United States and his evil twin on “Lois and Clark,” one of the Three Little Pigs on “Fairy Tale Theatre” and of course, as Hal Harrison, in “The History of White people in America” and co-starred with Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton in “Back to You.”
For his performance as Buck Laughlin in BEST IN SHOW, Fred won the Boston Film Critics Award, the American Comedy Award, The Sierra Award and a tribute from AFI, and WAITING FOR GUFFMAN earned him an American Comedy Award nomination for Funniest Supporting Actor. Some of his other film work includes; THIS IS SPINAL TAP, ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY, A MIGHTY WIND, and the Academy Award winning short film, “Ray’s Male Heterosexual Dance Hall.” Additionally he has voiced the animated films, MONSTER HOUSE, CHICKEN LITTLE, and as Santa Claus in HOLIDAZE. Fred stars in the Academy Award winning animated film WALL-E, playing the first live action character in a Pixar film.
