A master of playing confident, often dim-witted authority figures, Beck Bennett was a reliable anchor for the cast during his eight-season run. He excelled at playing dads, game show hosts, and various political figures, including a perpetually shirtless Vladimir Putin. His characters were often defined by a misplaced sense of bravado, which he portrayed with hilarious subtlety. He was famous for his collaboration with Kyle Mooney. One of his most memorable creations was the baby-bodied corporate boss, Mr. Patterson. Since leaving the show, Bennett has continued his work as a voice actor and has appeared in various film and television projects, bringing his signature grounded absurdity to new roles.
