Will Forte (born June 17, 1970) was a castmember on SNL who was first hired as a fearured player in 2002. Will held the responsibility of playing the President of the United States, George W. Bush, before passing it down to Jason Sudeikis during the 2006-2007 season. Will inherited this role from Will Ferrell, Chris Parnell and Darrell Hammond.
Will joined the cast in 2002 as a featured player, along with Fred Armisen, and was promoted to repertory cast in only one year (most people usually wait 2). alongside Seth Meyers.
Some of Will's memorable characters include Andy (the "Ohhhhhhhh, Noooooooo!" guy) and Ken Mortimer, a.k.a. The Falconer. His most memorable impressions are of President George W. Bush, politician Zell Miller and of SNL's creator and Executive Producer Lorne Michaels (in a boring 1975 "interview" with Jiminy Glick). Other characters of Will's include awkward political candidate Tim Calhoun, Neil (from the Introverts), and foreign exchange student Lyle Kane.
