WILL FERRELL
Superstar (1999)
WHAT IT IS A critically reviled comedy starring SNL alum Molly Shannon as geeky Catholic schoolgirl Mary Katharine, in which Ferrell plays dual roles: Sky Corrigan, her unattainable love interest, and a laid-back, advice-offering son of God (pictured).

HIS CAREER B.C. The SNL regular got fez-y in 1997's Austin Powers and head-bopped his way through the sinfully bad A Night at the Roxbury.
HIS CAREER A.D. He streaked his way to box office bucks in 2003's Old School, was beatifically goofy in Elf (2003), and got in touch with his devilish side for the parodies Anchorman (2004), Talladega Nights (2006), Blades of Glory (2007), and Semi-Pro (2008).
FINAL JUDGMENT Though his 2005 slump (Kicking & Screaming, Bewitched, The Producers) seemed to be a sign of God's delayed wrath over Ferrell's jokey Jesus, his recent string of hits (at least until the air started leaking out of basketball comedy Semi-Pro) suggests he's walking in the light.
