Will Ferrell stars in "Everything Must Go," alongside Laura Dern and Rebecca Hall, as Nick Porter.
Will Ferrell has come a long way since his days on "Saturday Night Live," crossing over from television icon to motion picture star. Alongside Mark Wahlberg, Ferrell recently collaborated with his long-time producing and writing partner, Adam McKay, to release the buddy-cop film, "The Other Guys." In its first month of release the film grossed over $90 million domestically.

In 2009, Ferrell debuted on Broadway by headlining the sold out, one-man comedy show "You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush." Nominated for a Tony Award in the "Best Special Event" category and directed by longtime collaborator, Adam McKay, Ferrell perfected his infamous Saturday Night Live character President George W. Bush in what Daily Variety calls "consistently funny." At the end of its Broadway run, Ferrell performed the show in its entirety live on HBO.
In 2007, Ferrell and McKay founded the overwhelmingly popular and award-winning video website Funnyordie.com. With hundreds of exclusive celebrity videos and a steady stream of huge viral hits, Funny Or Die has become the "place to be seen" for comedic celebrities, and the obvious destination for a daily comedy fix. The site's first video, "The Landlord," has received over 73 million views and features Ferrell confronted by a swearing, beer-drinking two-year-old landlord. The site averages over 7 million unique viewers per month and over 24 million video views per month.
Soon thereafter, Ferrell and McKay joined forces to open their own production company, Gary Sanchez Productions. Gary Sanchez produced the second season of the dark HBO comedy series "Eastbound and Down" starring Danny McBride who will be co-writing with director Jody Hill, as well as the Comedy Central show "Big Lake."
Additionally, he and McKay produced "Virginity Hit," a chronicled adventure of four teenage boys who set out to experience the terrifying rite of passage: losing their virginity.
Thus far, Gary Sanchez supported the 2006 Sundance hit "The Foot Fist Way" starring McBride ("Tropic Thunder"), who also co-wrote with director Hill "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard," starring Jeremy Piven, and "Step Brothers" which earned over $100 million domestically. In 2006 Ferrell starred in the hit comedy "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" with co-stars John C. Reilly and Sacha Baron Cohen. Earning nearly $150 million at the U.S. box office, the film became the season's #1 comedy (non-animated) and continues to set records on DVD.
In the summer of 2004, Ferrell starred in the cult comedy "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" for DreamWorks Pictures. Produced by Judd Apatow, Ferrell co-wrote the script with McKay. Ferrell portrayed Ron Burgundy, a 1970s anchorman with an inflated ego threatened by the arrival of an ambitious female newscaster who, unlike him, has mastered journalism.
In 2006, demonstrating that his dramatic gifts equal his comedic talents, Ferrell earned his second Golden Globe nomination (Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical) for his portrayal of IRS agent Harold Crick in "Stranger Than Fiction."
Ferrell starred for seven seasons on "Saturday Night Live" in 2002, having taken the nation by storm during "Indecision 2000" by his portrayal of President George W. Bush on the show. Some of his most memorable SNL characters include Craig the Spartan Cheerleader, musical middle school teacher Marty Culp, and President George W. Bush. Among his many impressions are Janet Reno, Alex Trebek, Neil Diamond and the late, great Chicago Cubs sportscaster Harry Caray. His work on SNL earned two Emmy nominations in 2001 (Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program, and Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program).
Ferrell's previous film credits include "Zoolander," "Elf," the Woody Allen feature "Melinda and Melinda," "Old School," and the screen adaptation of "The Producers," which earned Ferrell his first Golden Globe nomination in 2006 for Best Supporting Actor.
Raised in Irvine, California, Ferrell attended USC and graduated with a degree in sports information. Upon graduation, he worked as a sportscaster on a weekly show broadcast over a local cable channel. Soon after, he enrolled in acting classes and stand-up comedy workshops at a nearby community college and was eventually asked to join the esteemed comedy/improv group The Groundlings after just one year of training. It was at The Groundlings that Ferrell was discovered for Saturday Night Live.
