Will Ferrell has long been a Hollywood lead man, but the "Spirited" actor still recalls fondly the minor parts that helped him build his career.
In a Thursday interview with "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans, the "Elf" star revisited his time on "Saturday Night Live," where he was a cast member from 1995 to 2002. While munching on spicy chicken wings with Evans, Ferrell said it was the unassuming characters that helped spotlight his comedy chops.
"I made a point to tell the writers, 'I don't care, cast me in a super small part,' because some cast members took offense to that," he told Evans. "I just made a point to say, 'I'll deliver a pizza in the scene' and, you know, if you need someone just because it's supportive. But it's also just an opportunity to potentially get a laugh."
