[divider]Will Forte was brought up in a middle-class family in Moraga by his father, Orville Willis Forte III, a financial broker, and mother Particia, a former schoolteacher and artist. Later the family moved to Lafayette, where he attended elementary school. From an early age, he showed an interest in comedy, with idols such as Steve Martin, Peter Sellers, among others. He matriculated from Acalanes High School in 1988, then enrolled at the University of California – Los Angeles, from which he graduated with a BA degree in History and where he became a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He started to work the same job as his father, but his career went to comedy, thus he began attending classes at the improvisational comedy group, the Groundlings.

He soon started writing, and managed to publish a comic book, entitled “101 Things to Definitely Not Do If You Want to Get a Chick”, which propelled him further into the writing world, securing him a job as a writer for the “Jenny McCarthy Show” (1997). After a short stint, Will found a job as a writer for “The Late Show With David Letterman”, however, after only nine months he was fired. Will started writing for “3rd Rock From The Sun” (2001-2002), and then “That 70`s Show” (2002), but in the same year he was discovered by Lorne Michaels, the creator of “Saturday Night Live”, who invited Will to audition for the show, and Will subsequently became a regular star of the show until 2010, which increased his net worth to a large degree. During the show he created numerous characters, of which special operations agent McGruber was most popular, and which later formed the base for the film “MacGruber” (2010). His latest writing credit is the TV series “The Last Man On Earth” (2015-2016), which has also increased his net worth.

Apart from his career as a writer, Will has also made numerous film and TV appearances, starting in the role of Abe Lincoln in “Clone High” (2002-2003). His first film role was in the “Around The World in 80 Days” (2004), and two years later he featured in the film “Beerfest”.After his tenure at SNL ended, he became a popular comedy actor, securing roles in such productions as “MacGruber” (2010), “A Good Old Fashioned Orgy” (2011), and “She’s Funny That Way” (2014).

He has also been recognized as a voice actor, lending his voice to characters in popular TV series such as “American Dad” (2009-2015), “Lab Rats” (2012-2015), “The Awesomes” (2014-2015), and “Gravity Falls” (2012-2016), among others, all of which added to his net worth.

Regarding his personal life, there is little information in the media about Will Forte’s love life, except the fact that he dated Sarah Chalke in 2000. According to sources, he is currently single and lives in Santa Monica, California. Will is also known for his charity work, as he supports the camp Wampler’s Kids, SciEyes, as well as serving on the Board of Directors of the National Policy and Advocacy Council on Homelessness.

Will Forte Quick Info

Will Forte Quotes

• That period in between getting the part and starting work on the movie[Nebraska (2013)] was an anxiety-riddled period…I really had no formal acting training, but I didn’t know what it was like to go to a natural drama class or an acting class. So in my head, I would think, ‘Oh, at a class like that they have these pearls of wisdom that everybody who is part of “Nebraska” has, except me’…Basically, when you watch this movie you’re watching somebody who’s in the process of being taught by a legendary actor and an amazing director. I learned so much from this experience.
• [re Nebraska (2013)] I am a pretty realistic person, and I was just as shocked to get this part as people were shocked to hear that I got the part…You talk to your agents and managers, you try to develop this plan. Nowhere in any of these plans of ‘here’s what the strategy should be’ was there, like ‘and then you’ll try to get into an ‘Alexander Payne’ movie.’ That wasn’t even something that we would have ever entertained in a million years…If I get to do something else like this, it would be awesome, but just to get to do something like this once is enough for me.
• [re making Nebraska (2013)] It’s certainly a lot of corn, Nebraska, but I found it really beautiful. I thought it was going to be this real monotonous visual experience, and it wasn’t. There was a lot of texture to it. It kept reminding me of a van Gogh painting – these big beautiful circular corn husk bales, the way the light would hit them and the shadows they’d cast. Brilliant hues of yellow – it was really striking.
• [on traveling to the American heartland to film Nebraska (2013)] I went in intimidated by the process. But [director] Alexander Payne and Bruce Dern put me at ease from the start. They made me feel like I was part of the club and that I belonged there. I have a habit of over-thinking everything but they found a way to get me out of my head. And that was really just talking to me, and nurturing me. I’m a weird combination of self-doubt and extreme confidence. [Dern] would always talk about the truth and finding the truth in what you are going for. It was more teaching without teaching. It was just know what’s going.
• [on working with Bruce Dern] It’s like watching him pull a rabbit out of a hat in every scene. I don’t know what he’s doing. It’s magic. And I love it.
• [asked by Larry King if there were any personal ticks he wish he didn’t have] I feel like all my faults go into making the person that I am. I like myself as a person. And I think taking any fault away would change who I am as a person. These OCD really probably helped me as a comedian.
• [on why he left SNL] I left because I had just turned 40, I’d been there for 8 years, my family was all in California, its a grueling schedule. It was such a delight to be on the show and a real family atmosphere, but it was just time to move on.
• [on why he wears fake mustaches in comedies] There is something about a person who wears a mustache that is…they just don’t quite get it. It takes a unique person in our society to wear a mustache.
• [on why he often seems restrained during interviews] I just didn’t want to be the kind of person who always seemed like they were ON. That would annoy me when there seemed to be people who always seem to be on.
• I don’t know if I was a funny kid. I would say I was a loud and weird kid.
• I’ll check my stove all the time, but I haven’t used the stove in 8 years. An old girlfriend of mine, we went through this test you could take on-line to see if you are OCD or not and at the end, it said get help immediately.
• I have been in a lot of things, but maybe I’ve cursed them all.
• [discussing his liberal upbringing and love of playing dress-up as a child] If I had become a cross-dresser it would have taken her just a second because my mom is very supportive and she would have loved me anyway.
• “There’s kind of a weird, intense energy that flows through the place. I tend to get in there about 3 or 4 in the afternoon and get out around 8 a.m. Wednesday. You end up drinking a massive amount of coffee and downing a lot of Funions.” (On the Tuesday-night “SNL” writing regime)

Will Forte Important Facts

• Attended the weddings of his Saturday Night Live (1975) cast members and good friends, Seth Meyers and Andy Samberg, in character as “Hamilton”, his white supremacist but ultimately good-hearted character from the show. At Meyers’ wedding to Alexi Ashe Meyers, most of Meyers’ relatives had never seen or heard of “Hamilton” and were shocked when he described Ashe’s great beauty and then wondered aloud (in-character) how she could marry “a hook nose”. Samberg enjoyed the bit so much he asked Forte to do a “Hamilton” toast at his wedding to Joanna Newsom, and Forte spent a lot of time coming up with an entirely new set of jokes, before doing just that. At both weddings, Forte didn’t break character until “Hamilton” walked off after his shocking monologues, and quickly changed into formal wear and returned to the party, as if nothing had happened.
