Bill Hader Career
Hader dropped out of college and moved to Los Angeles for his inspirations to become a filmmaker in 1999. His parents were supportive of his decision to move, and Hader used the money they had originally saved for his college education to cover his living expenses when he arrived in Los Angeles.
He found work as a production assistant (PA) while scouring the back pages of The Hollywood Reporter, and he hoped to advance far enough to become an assistant director.
He subsequently secured a job working as a nighttime assistant editor at post-production facility Triage Entertainment. He invested money into his own short film, but was too embarrassed to release it. Shortly thereafter, Hader and his then-longtime girlfriend broke up.[
Hader was hired as a featured player and made his debut on the show on October 1, 2005. His first role was as a psychologist giving his views about life and death during the emergency landing of JetBlue Airways Flight 292. He felt he had gone from “preschool to Harvard.
Despite this, Hader suffered from anxiety and sleep problems during his tenure at the program.
Hader decided to leave SNL after eight seasons, informing cast and crew of his decision in February 2013.
“It got to a point where I said, ‘Maybe it’s just time to go.'” On October 11, 2014, Hader returned as host with musical guest Hozier and on March 17, 2018 with musical guest Arcade Fire.
Among the characters Hader played was Stefon, Weekend Update’s flamboyant New York City correspondent, whose recommendations consist solely of bizarre nightclubs involving nightmarish characters.
He is based on two people SNL writer John Mulaney and Hader met: a wannabe club owner who always invited Mulaney to weird underground clubs and a barista Hader met who looks, speaks, and dresses like Stefon.
In 2008, Hader appeared in two other Apatow projects: Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Pineapple Express. He also starred alongside Ben Stiller, Robert Downey, Jr. and Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. Hader has teamed up with director Greg Mottola for three feature films: Superbad, Adventureland and Paul.
Hader lent his voice to the critically acclaimed 2009 Sony Pictures Animation film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, as well as its sequel, playing the lead role of Flint Lockwood as well as his invention in the films, the FLDSMDFR. He voiced a gazelle in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
Hader starred in a dramatic role in the 2014 film The Skeleton Twins, opposite Kristen Wiig, with whom he worked on Saturday Night Live.
The film won for ‘Best Screenplay’ at the Sundance Film Festival.
In 2015, Hader voiced the character of Fear in the critically acclaimed Disney-Pixar film, Inside Out, and was attached to voice a dinosaur in the Pixar film The Good Dinosaur.
Hader voiced Alpha 5 in the 2017 film version of Power Rangers.
Hader will star in It: Chapter Two as the adult Richie Tozier in the upcoming sequel to the first It film, alongside Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy.
The film is set to hit theaters September 2019..

Bill Hader Wins DGA Award for ‘Barry,’ as HBO Reigns Supreme
Adopted From: indiewire.com
Published: Feb 3, 2019
Emmy hopefuls, beware: there’s a comedy hitman hiding in your midst.
Bill Hader accepted the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy Series on Saturday night for HBO’s “Barry” and his direction of the series’ pilot episode “Chapter One: Make Your Mark.” Hader’s win comes as something of a surprise after Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” made mincemeat of much of its competition at recent awards outings, including Amy Sherman-Palladino’s triumph over Hader in the comedy director category at the Emmy Awards.
HBO had significant wins throughout the ceremony, striking a blow to its non-traditional counterparts, with Netflix taking home the only prize for a streaming service, for Reality Programs direction on “The Final Table.”

Making its first significant awards season inroad after its critically acclaimed freshman season, HBO’s “Succession” scored a big win for executive producer and director of its pilot Adam McKay, who took home the award for direction in a Drama Series. (McKay was also nominated for his direction of feature film “Vice.”)
And it wasn’t just new shows leaving a lasting impression for HBO. Despite being the gold standard in educational kids television for nearly 50 years, “Sesame Street”nabbed its first-ever DGA award for Children’s Programs direction. “When You Wish Upon a Pickle: A Sesame Street Special,” was directed by Jack Jameson.

In other awards, Don Roy King was nominated for the sixth consecutive year for Directorial Achievement in Variety/Talk/News/Sports – Series for his work on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” and took home his fourth trophy since the category’s inception at the 66th DGA Awards held in 2014. Though his DGA success came for an episode of “SNL” hosted by Adam Driver, with musical guest Kanye West, King took home an Emmy in September for a completely different episode featuring Donald Glover as host and musical guest.
Ben Stiller’s win for Movies for Television and Limited Series direction proved that Showtime’s “Escape At Dannemora” still has all the heat in the category as the season slowly begins to shift focus to this year’s Emmys.
Louis J. Horvitz won Variety Special direction for the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, the first win in the category for the awards ceremony.
The Guild ceremonies continue as the Writers Guild of America has their say on Sunday, February 17, at the Beverly Hilton.
