About
Bill Hader turned SNL's Weekend Update into a masterclass in character work, then created one of TV's darkest comedies. Born in the US in 1978, the actor, comedian, and filmmaker spent eight years on NBC's Saturday Night Live (2005–2013), earning four Emmy nominations and a Peabody Award for his impressions—especially as Stefon, the nightclub guide. He co-created, wrote, produced, directed, and starred in HBO's Barry (2018–2023), winning two consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Gemini energy: quick-witted impressionist who thrives in ensemble chaos but found his truest power in solo authorship.

Biography
Bill Hader transformed character comedy into an art form, then proved he could helm a prestige drama-comedy hybrid. Born June 7, 1978, in the US, he entered SNL as a cast member in 2005 and spent eight years perfecting sketch work, earning four Primetime Emmy nominations and a Peabody Award—his signature achievement was Stefon, the flamboyant New York nightclub tour guide who appeared on Weekend Update. Beyond television, Hader demonstrated range across film: supporting roles in Superbad (2007), Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), and Adventureland (2009), then leading roles in The Skeleton Twins (2014) and Trainwreck (2015). He played adult Richie Tozier in It Chapter Two (2019) and has anchored the IFC mockumentary series Documentary Now! (2015–2022) alongside Fred Armisen and Seth Meyers. His voice work spans Pixar's Monsters University (2013), Inside Out (2015), Finding Dory (2016), and Toy Story 4 (2019), plus Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and its sequel. In 2018, Hader co-created Barry with Alec Berg—a dark comedy where he also starred as Barry Berkman, produced, wrote, and directed, earning eight Emmy nominations across the show's run and winning two consecutive for Outstanding Lead Actor. As a screenwriter and actor, he works across comedy, drama, and animation, demonstrating the technical and emotional precision of someone born under Gemini's sign—adaptable, curious, and capable of inhabiting wildly different registers. His life-path number 11 reflects his spiritual visionary pull: the instinct to see deeper patterns in human behavior, whether comedically or dramatically.
