Jason Sudeikis is in his third season as a "Saturday Night Live" cast member. He joined the show as a staff writer in the 2003-04 season.
Sudeikis had two recurring roles in his first season: as a Bluetooth-sporting, self-absorbed "A-hole" alongside Kristen Wiig, and as bumbling thief Ed Mahoney. Sudeikis also garnered attention for his spot-on impersonation of "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks.
A native of Overland Park, Kansas, Sudeikis got his start at ComedySportz (now Comedy City) in Kansas City and made his way to Chicago where he performed with The Second City National Touring Company, Improv Olympic and The Annoyance Theater, the stomping grounds of "SNL" alums Tina Fey, Horatio Sanz and Rachel Dratch and fellow castmate Amy Poehler.
Sudeikis also performed with Boom Chicago in Amsterdam (as did fellow castmate Seth Meyers) and was a founding member of The Second City Las Vegas.
He'll next be seen in the feature films "Bill," alongside Aaron Eckhart, Jessica Alba and "SNL" castmate Wiig, "The Ten" and "Watching the Detectives."
Sudeikis is married and lives in New York City. His birthday is Sept 18.
