| Chris Kattan, who joined �Saturday Night Live� in March 1996 as a featured player, is now in his sixth full season as an �SNL� cast member. Chris has brought many memorable characters to �SNL,� including: dancer wannabe Kyle DeMarco, who always auditions with his brother Sean DeMarco who was the former Chris Parnell; the half-monkey Mr. Peepers; the gibberish-spouting Suel Forrester; and the enigmatic exotic dancer, Mango. In addition, Chris has contributed notable impressions to the show including Antonio Banderas in the �How Do You Say, Ah Yes, Show,� Al Pacino, and Ricky Martin. Chris stars in Disney�s mob comedy �Corky Romano� (a character he created) opposite Peter Falk. The film centers on a troubled son (Kattan) of a mafia honcho who is forced to infiltrate the FBI to find out what information it has on his father. Peter Berg and Chris Penn also star. Chris recently wrapped production on �Undercover Brother� opposite Denise Richards and Eddie Griffin. The film, directed by Malcolm Lee, is a live-action adaptation of the popular cartoon series from Urban Entertainment. In early 2001, Chris appeared �Monkey Bone,� a combination of live action and stop motion animation starring Whoopi Goldberg, Brendan Fraser, Bridget Fonda and Rose McGowan. In 1998, Chris brought his swinging �SNL� character to the big screen in �A Night at the Roxbury� which he co-wrote with fellow �SNL� player Will Ferrell and Steve Koren. He has also appeared in the hit horror film �The House on Haunted Hill.� Before joining �SNL,� Chris was a member of the Los Angeles-based improv/sketch comedy group The Groundlings, where current cast members Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph and former cast members Laraine Newman, Phil Hartman and Jon Lovitz began their careers. Chris has guest starred on several network television programs, including �NewsRadio� and �Grace Under Fire.� A native of Southern California, Chris spent part of his youth in Seattle, and returned to the Los Angeles area for college at the University of California at Northridge. Throughout his college years, Chris appeared in many live theater productions. Currently, Chris lives in Los Angeles and New York City. His birthday is October 19, 1970. He is 31. |
