Életrajz
FRED ARMISEN has created numerous memorable characters as well as uncanny impressions in over 150 episodes on eight seasons of "Saturday Night Live." In his first year, Armisen's Fericito, a Venezuelan comedian coaching Senator John McCain through his opening monologue on "Weekend Update," was so popular it became the recurring sketch "Showbiz Grande Explosion" with Latin flair and catchphrase "I'm just keeeeeeding." His other classic characters include the vaguely European home design enthusiast Nuni, the Native American comic Billy Smith and the political comedian Nicholas Fehn. Armisen's iconic impressions span celebrities and politicos, garnering both laughs and controversy, including then-Democratic Senator and Presidential nominee and Commander in Chief Barack Obama; New York Governor Patterson; Larry King; Apple CEO Steve Jobs; Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad in the popular Digital Short "Iran So Far Away"; and Prince, the often-silent host of the musician's talk show "The Prince Show."
He has landed on Rolling Stone's "Hot List" and twice on Entertainment Weekly's "Must List" for his performance as a politically incorrect deaf comedian and his witty iTunes playlist.
Armisen appeared in "Cop Out," alongside Bruce Willis and Tracey Morgan and "Confessions of a Shopaholic," opposite Isla Fisher. His other film credits include "The Rocker," with Rainn Wilson; "The Promotion," opposite John C. Reilly; "Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny," with Jack Black; "The Ex," alongside Zach Braff and Jason Bateman; "Eurotrip"; and Adam McKay's "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," with Will Ferrell.
Armisen began his career as a musician in the Chicago-based post-punk band Trenchmouth and played with Blue Man Group. His transition to comedy came with the 1998 underground short film "Fred Armisen's Guide to Music and South by Southwest," which followed him, posing as a music journalist, through the famed Austin, Texas music festival. In 2006, he tried his hand at actual music journalism, profiling indie darling Cat Power for the influential music website Pitchfork.com. In 2007, he combined music and comedy successfully with the instructional DVD "Complicated Drumming Technique," creating yet another character, drummer Jens Hannemann.
He has made guest appearances on NBC's "30 Rock" and "Parks and Recreation"; as well as cable comedy shows "The Sarah Silverman Show," "Human Giant" and "Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job." He was seen in the smash kids show, "Yo Gabba Gabba" on Nickelodeon.
Armisen lives in New York City.
