My favorite actor has to be Will Ferrell, hands down. He is one of the funniest men I can think of in existence. All of his movies have been box office smashes. 9 out of 10 people have seen or even heard of Elf, Anchorman, Step Brothers, The Other Guys, and Talladega Nights, among others.
Will Ferrell is not only a funny actor, but he can also play a serious role as well. Prime examples are Everything Must Go and Winter Passing. Will Ferrell can also appeal to children. He has starred in animated movies like Curious George, Megamind, and the Lego Movie. One of his most beloved performances has to be Elf. I can't get enough of that movie during the holiday season. This was actually the first movie I saw with him.
Another reason why Will Ferrell appeals to me so much is his hard work ethic. He started off as a skit actor on Saturday Night Live. I'm sure most of you have seen the recent skit where he revisited the show that famous. It involves him bickering with a little girl as his landlord. If you haven't seen it, it's all over youtube. Ferrell is not only a great actor, but he is also starting to focus on writing and producing movies as well.
Will Ferrell truly is a jack of all trades in the Hollywood world and I recommend all of the movies mentioned above. I can't wait for his next movie coming out in March, Get Hard, which co-stars Kevin Hart. It's hard to believe that such a huge name was once just a regular guy like me and now he does everything in his power to entertain us.
