The ultimate professional and perhaps the most underrated cast member of his era, Chris Parnell was the glue that held countless sketches together. His steady presence and perfect timing made him an invaluable straight man. But he also shined with his own brand of goofy absurdity, as seen in the ‘Lazy Sunday’ digital short where he played the nerdy, straight-laced rapper. He was famously let go from SNL and then re-hired, a testament to his importance to the show. After SNL, Parnell has forged a successful voice acting career, with key roles on hit animated shows like Archer and Rick and Morty. He also co-starred for seven seasons on 30 Rock, proving his indispensable worth yet again.
