Bobby Moynihan's IMDB professional resume

It's very interesting to look at entertainers' resumes like this, because obviously they don't work like every other industry. It doesn't really speak to accomplishments in jobs. Instead it just lists off the little projects they did. There's got to be a better way to sell an actor/writer than to just list off what they did.

Until then...

THOUGHTS

I didn't know Bobby was in so much theater! And, um, Bobby played Jesus. =^O

I think they (Bobby and his manager, Naomi Odenkirk) should be a little more specific. Their "Comedy" category should be "Live Comedy." Because it almost implies his TV and film work, which obviously isn't in that list. And "Video" should be "Music Videos" because he's done a ton of Web and TV videos and shorts that aren't in that list.

Why did they include "Print" as a category? I don't get that one. Is someone going to look at his resume and be like, "But can he model?" Maybe, I guess. If that's what he's going for, it should probably be clearer, like labeled "Modeling for Print," and then he should get a few more examples listed on his resume. He can probably also include shoots he did for magazine interviews (actually, I don't think he's done any of those yet).

"Internet" should probably be "Internet Videos," just so Internet noobs in the Entertainment industry won't think it's like websites he wrote for or something.

Also, it's interesting how they picked what's the most important roles to list first in each category. They probably take into account how successful that piece was and how big his role was in that piece. It's obviously not listed in chronological or alphabetical order (which is fine, because you can just find that on IMDB anyway).

I think it's interesting how they list out SNL and each SNL special he's been in. A little unnecessary but it drives his contribution to the show home a little more clearly (although I almost wish they itemized out his most famous characters and skits).

Enjoy!

Bobby Moynihan - Recurring characters on SNL

Recurring characters on SNL:



Mark Payne, a ghetto-acting white waiter who works at Pizzeria Uno. Wears a black do-rag and a black and blue button-down T-shirt featuring Sagara Sanosuke from the anime Rurouni Kenshin and always complains about inconsequential things around the pizzeria (the smell of pepper on the first sketch on the episode hosted by Michael Phelps; how sticky the bar counter is in the second sketch on the episode hosted by Tim McGraw). In the first sketch, Mark had a child that he left on a bus and didn't realize it until the end of the sketch. The child was never mentioned in the second sketch. Moynihan has said in interviews that the character is a tribute to his days of working as a bartender for almost 10 years.



Vinny Vedecci Jr, the son of Bill Hader's Italian talk show host, Vinny Vedecci. Wears a black and white child's sailor suit. Always wants to asks celebrities ridiculous questions, but the celebrities can't understand his broken English, which makes him cry (until Vinny gives his son a cigarette and a drink of wine).



Liam, one of the kids in Gilly's (played by Kristen Wiig) elementary school class. It is often implied that he hates his stepfather.

Obnoxious Microphone Guy, a very annoying man who attends parties and other events, will at some point steal the microphone from the emcee (usually played by Jason Sudeikis) and obnoxiously scream "WHAAAAAAAAAT!" into the mic before dropping it on the floor.



Scared Straight Kid, one of the three young trouble-makers (along with Bill Hader and Andy Samberg) lectured by convict Lorenzo McIntosh (played by Kenan Thompson) and McIntosh's fellow inmates.



A$$ Dan, a member of the Kick Spit Underground Rock Festival and winner of the Worst He-Man Impression Contest and the Mud-Eating Contest. Even though the Blake Lively/Rihanna episode established that he died in 2009 at the age of 28 (Ass Dan was born in 1981), he was brought back as one half of the Thrilla Killa Clownz (spoof on the Insane Clown Posse) on the episode hosted by Ryan Phillippe.

Commercial Actor, In Tina Tina Chanuese's Commercials for Doorbells and More, Car Horns and More, and Alarm Clocks and More.

Bobby Moynihan - Biography

Somebody on Wikipedia loves Bobby, because he has a quite a great bio.

Robert "Bobby" Moynihan, Jr. (born January 31, 1977) is an American actor and comedian who is currently a cast member on Saturday Night Live.

Moynihan outside of NBC Studios before his premiere on "Saturday Night Live" in 2008:



Born: January 31, 1977 (1977-01-31) (age 32), Eastchester, New York

Occupation: Actor, Writer, Comedian

In summer 2008, Moynihan had a supporting role in the popular web-series The Line, an online video project funded by Lorne Michaels' production company, directed by SNL head writer Seth Meyers, and starring SNL cast members Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis. He is a regular improv/sketch comedian at New York City's Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and on many Sunday nights he can be found improvising with fellow SNL alumni in the theater's long-running hit improv show ASSSSCAT 3000. In addition, Bobby also frequently performs along with other UCB regulars in the Derrick Comedy sketch group and appeared in several of their popular internet videos and various projects, most recently Moynihan filmed a supporting role in the group's feature film Mystery Team, which premiered at Sundance in 2009. Prior to joining SNL he was a sketch regular on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and a contributing writer on MTV's Human Giant, and in years past, he often submitted scripts to SNL with his comedy partner Charlie Sanders. Moynihan has also acted in a number of comedy shorts for the website collegehumor.com, including their recent web-series Every Week on Entourage where he plays "Turtle" from Entourage.

During the summer of 2008, Moynihan gained a bit of recognition when he was featured in a national television ad campaign for ESPN Radio with Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay. In the summer of 2009, Moynihan starred in the music video for Colbie Caillat's single, "Fallin' For You".

Notes from the editor: This information is key, because while Bobby had a great resume up to this point (a career in Web comedies, submitting scripts to SNL, appearing on Conan, writing for Human Giant, and performing at the UCB theater in almost half a dozen different groups), it was really this "The Line" gig that got him in at SNL. That's where he met Lorne, Seth, Bill, and Jason.

============================

Recurring Characters on SNL

1. Mark Payne, a ghetto-acting white waiter who works at Pizzeria Uno. Wears a black dew-rag and a black and blue button-down T-shirt featuring Sagara Sanosuke from the anime Rurouni Kenshin and always complains about inconsequential things around the pizzeria (the smell of pepper on the first sketch on the episode hosted by Michael Phelps; how sticky the bar counter is in the second sketch on the episode hosted by Tim McGraw). In the first sketch, Mark had a child that he left on a bus and didn't realize it until the end of the sketch. The child was never mentioned in the second sketch. Moynihan has said in interviews that the character is a tribute to his days of working as a bartender for almost 10 years.

2. Vinny Vedecci Jr, the son of Bill Hader's Italian talk show host, Vinny Vedecci. Wears a black and white child's sailor suit. Always wants to asks celebrities ridiculous questions, but the celebrities can't understand his broken English, which makes him cry (until Vinny gives his son a cigarette and a drink of wine).

3. Liam, one of the kids' in Gilly's (played by Kristen Wiig) elementary school class. It is often implied that he hates his stepfather.

4. Obnoxious Microphone Guy, a very annoying man who attends parties and other events, will at some point steal the microphone from the emcee (usually played by Jason Sudeikis) and obnoxiously scream "WHAAAAAAAAAT!" into the mic before dropping it on the floor.

Notes from the EDitor:

Okay, this is a problem. Bobby has been featured on the show for two years now, and he needs to break out with more characters. All these characters above are hilarious, but Liam is in Kristen's Gilly skit, Vinny Jr. is in Bill's Vinny skit, Microphone Guy only has one line per skit, and Mark Payne has only been done twice.

Bobby as Vinny Jr:
Vinny's Son (John Malkovich)
Vinny's Son (Drew Barrymore)

Bobby as Obnoxious Guy:
Whaaaaat???

Bobby as Mark Payne:
Pepper

Bobby needs new characters stat! He had a great "Simply Victor" retarded character he did before SNL. If Kristen can do a retarded and deformed character, then Bobby should be able to do that one. Plus Bobby needs to talk to the other players and come up with duo or trio skits. In the last popular age of SNL (when Will Ferrell was leading the cast), they all had a ton of duo skits going on. Bobby needs to help bring that back!

Bobby as Simply Victor:
Simply Victor


====================

Celebrity Impersonations on SNL

David Crosby
Guy Fieri
Barney Frank (in the "Barack Obama Variety Show" sketch; Barney Frank is usually played by Fred Armisen but Armisen had to portray Obama for the sketch).
Garfield the cat
Gonzo the Great
Peter King
Nathan Lane
Mr. Mistoffelees (from Cats on Broadway)
Wayne Osmond
Richard Shelby
Snagglepuss
Rich Sommer (as Harry Crane on Mad Men)

Notes from the EDitor:

This is good. I think this was a strong contributing factor to keeping Bobby on: his impressions. And I think he knows this, because he didn't do many impressions before SNL (so he's upped his game in this area). His Garfield and Gonzo are a bit weak, and he only did them because Andy Samberg paved the way with his Cathy and Swedish Chef (both turned into larger ensemble skits).

Whoever wrote this was probably thinking whether or not Bobby's Optimus Prime impression should be included. =^)

Bobby as Optimus Prime:
Optimus Prime

And they definitely should have mentioned his spot-on impression of Lenny from Of Mice and Men:
Of Mice and Men

They also didn't mention his impression of Turtle from Entourage (January 09; Neil Patrick Harris monologue), which got him the job playing Turtle in College Humor's Entourage spoof.

Bobby's Mr. Mistoffelees and Snagglepuss are so good that he should be pitching skits that center around those characters. I could see Mr. Mistoffelees in a story skit and Snagglepuss hosting his own show where he interviews other cartoon characters (and maybe makes advances on them because he's gay).

Bobby as Mr. Mistoffelees:
Cats

Bobby as Snagglepuss:
Snagglepuss

I also see his strength in his Nathan Lane and Guy Fieri impressions. Either one of those could also be the center point of a show where the character hosts a show (this is a no-brainer for the Guy Fieri impression, since he already hosts a show). Also, I think Bobby Moynihan could take his Guy Fieri impression up a notch and do some disgusting food jokes. For example, instead of pouring gravy on a plate (as he did once), he could pour it on his head and in his mouth.

Bobby as Nathan Lane:
Nathan Lane (So you committed...)

Bobby as Guy Fieri:
Guy Fieri (Obama Cold Open)
Guy Fieri (Cooking Al Fresco)
