Orville Willis “Will” Forte IV was born on the 17th June 1970, in Alameda County, California USA, and is a comedian, actor and writer, who is best known to the world for being a cast member of “Saturday Night Live” (SNL). He is also recognized as the creator of the current sitcom “The Last Man On Earth”. He has appeared in a number of films and TV series such as “MacGruber” (2010) and “Nebraska” (2013). His professional career has been active since 1997.
Have you ever wondered how rich Will Forte is, as of early 2016? According to authoritative sources, it is estimated that the overall size of Will’s net worth is $6 million. The main source of this amount is coming from his successful involvement in the entertainment industry. [divider]
Will Forte Net Worth $6 Million
[divider] Will Forte was brought up in a middle-class family in Moraga by his father, Orville Willis Forte III, a financial broker, and mother Particia, a former schoolteacher and artist. Later the family moved to Lafayette, where he attended elementary school. From an early age, he showed an interest in comedy, with idols such as Steve Martin, Peter Sellers, among others. He matriculated from Acalanes High School in 1988, then enrolled at the University of California – Los Angeles, from which he graduated with a BA degree in History and where he became a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He started to work the same job as his father, but his career went to comedy, thus he began attending classes at the improvisational comedy group, the Groundlings.
He soon started writing, and managed to publish a comic book, entitled “101 Things to Definitely Not Do If You Want to Get a Chick”, which propelled him further into the writing world, securing him a job as a writer for the “Jenny McCarthy Show” (1997). After a short stint, Will found a job as a writer for “The Late Show With David Letterman”, however, after only nine months he was fired. Will started writing for “3rd Rock From The Sun” (2001-2002), and then “That 70`s Show” (2002), but in the same year he was discovered by Lorne Michaels, the creator of “Saturday Night Live”, who invited Will to audition for the show, and Will subsequently became a regular star of the show until 2010, which increased his net worth to a large degree. During the show he created numerous characters, of which special operations agent McGruber was most popular, and which later formed the base for the film “MacGruber” (2010). His latest writing credit is the TV series “The Last Man On Earth” (2015-2016), which has also increased his net worth.
Apart from his career as a writer, Will has also made numerous film and TV appearances, starting in the role of Abe Lincoln in “Clone High” (2002-2003). His first film role was in the “Around The World in 80 Days” (2004), and two years later he featured in the film “Beerfest”. After his tenure at SNL ended, he became a popular comedy actor, securing roles in such productions as “MacGruber” (2010), “A Good Old Fashioned Orgy” (2011), and “She’s Funny That Way” (2014).
He has also been recognized as a voice actor, lending his voice to characters in popular TV series such as “American Dad” (2009-2015), “Lab Rats” (2012-2015), “The Awesomes” (2014-2015), and “Gravity Falls” (2012-2016), among others, all of which added to his net worth.
Regarding his personal life, there is little information in the media about Will Forte’s love life, except the fact that he dated Sarah Chalke in 2000. According to sources, he is currently single and lives in Santa Monica, California. Will is also known for his charity work, as he supports the camp Wampler’s Kids, SciEyes, as well as serving on the Board of Directors of the National Policy and Advocacy Council on Homelessness.

Quote
1
That period in between getting the part and starting work on the movie[Nebraska (2013)] was an anxiety-riddled period...I really had no formal acting training, but I didn't know what it was like to go to a natural drama class or an acting class. So in my head, I would think, 'Oh, at a class like that they have these pearls of wisdom that everybody who is part of "Nebraska" has, except me'...Basically, when you watch this movie you're watching somebody who's in the process of being taught by a legendary actor and an amazing director. I learned so much from this experience.
2
[re Nebraska (2013)] I am a pretty realistic person, and I was just as shocked to get this part as people were shocked to hear that I got the part...You talk to your agents and managers, you try to develop this plan. Nowhere in any of these plans of 'here's what the strategy should be' was there, like 'and then you'll try to get into an 'Alexander Payne' movie.' That wasn't even something that we would have ever entertained in a million years...If I get to do something else like this, it would be awesome, but just to get to do something like this once is enough for me.
3
[re making Nebraska (2013)] It's certainly a lot of corn, Nebraska, but I found it really beautiful. I thought it was going to be this real monotonous visual experience, and it wasn't. There was a lot of texture to it. It kept reminding me of a van Gogh painting - these big beautiful circular corn husk bales, the way the light would hit them and the shadows they'd cast. Brilliant hues of yellow - it was really striking.
4
[on traveling to the American heartland to film Nebraska (2013)] I went in intimidated by the process. But [director] Alexander Payne and Bruce Dern put me at ease from the start. They made me feel like I was part of the club and that I belonged there. I have a habit of over-thinking everything but they found a way to get me out of my head. And that was really just talking to me, and nurturing me. I'm a weird combination of self-doubt and extreme confidence. [Dern] would always talk about the truth and finding the truth in what you are going for. It was more teaching without teaching. It was just know what's going.
5
[on working with Bruce Dern] It's like watching him pull a rabbit out of a hat in every scene. I don't know what he's doing. It's magic. And I love it.
6
[asked by Larry King if there were any personal ticks he wish he didn't have] I feel like all my faults go into making the person that I am. I like myself as a person. And I think taking any fault away would change who I am as a person. These OCD really probably helped me as a comedian.
7
[on why he left SNL] I left because I had just turned 40, I'd been there for 8 years, my family was all in California, its a grueling schedule. It was such a delight to be on the show and a real family atmosphere, but it was just time to move on.
8
[on why he wears fake mustaches in comedies] There is something about a person who wears a mustache that is...they just don't quite get it. It takes a unique person in our society to wear a mustache.
9
[on why he often seems restrained during interviews] I just didn't want to be the kind of person who always seemed like they were ON. That would annoy me when there seemed to be people who always seem to be on.
10
I don't know if I was a funny kid. I would say I was a loud and weird kid.
11
I'll check my stove all the time, but I haven't used the stove in 8 years. An old girlfriend of mine, we went through this test you could take on-line to see if you are OCD or not and at the end, it said get help immediately.
12
I have been in a lot of things, but maybe I've cursed them all.
13
[discussing his liberal upbringing and love of playing dress-up as a child] If I had become a cross-dresser it would have taken her just a second because my mom is very supportive and she would have loved me anyway.
14
"There's kind of a weird, intense energy that flows through the place. I tend to get in there about 3 or 4 in the afternoon and get out around 8 a.m. Wednesday. You end up drinking a massive amount of coffee and downing a lot of Funions." (On the Tuesday-night "SNL" writing regime)

Fact
1
Attended the weddings of his Saturday Night Live (1975) cast members and good friends, Seth Meyers and Andy Samberg, in character as "Hamilton", his white supremacist but ultimately good-hearted character from the show. At Meyers' wedding to Alexi Ashe Meyers, most of Meyers' relatives had never seen or heard of "Hamilton" and were shocked when he described Ashe's great beauty and then wondered aloud (in-character) how she could marry "a hook nose". Samberg enjoyed the bit so much he asked Forte to do a "Hamilton" toast at his wedding to Joanna Newsom, and Forte spent a lot of time coming up with an entirely new set of jokes, before doing just that. At both weddings, Forte didn't break character until "Hamilton" walked off after his shocking monologues, and quickly changed into formal wear and returned to the party, as if nothing had happened.
After making Nebraska (2013), Forte was impressed when Jack Nicholson, longtime friend of Forte's co-star Bruce Dern, threw a screening party, which was attended by Mickey Rooney and Peter Fonda. "It was so exciting to be in that room", Forte said.
4
He has English, as well as smaller amounts of French-Canadian, Irish, Scottish, German, Swiss-German, and Dutch ancestry. His surname originates with his paternal great-great-grandfather, Nepthali Forte, who was a French-Canadian immigrant to Massachusetts.
5
Purchased new clothing to wear during the Cannes Film Festival only to have his baggage lost on the flight.
6
He claims to have never "broken" character during his time at Groundlings or SNL. He had a standing bet with cast members at Groundlings to pay $100 against their $5 if they could make him laugh, and claims he never lost. He counts fellow Groundlings/SNL cast member Chris Parnell as another comic who never breaks.
Was comedy partner of Mike Schmidt (a writer for Scrubs (2001) and Cougar Town (2009)). One of their routines, the close talkers, was made into an SNL Digital Short starring Forte and Steve Martin.
As a young man, he and a friend went to see Tony Orlando in Concert during a road trip. From their front row seats, they were brought on stage to talk with Orlando. Will and his friend wrote letters to Orlando to thank him for encouraging them. Orlando wrote letters back, which Forte kept, along with pictures from the concert. When making That's My Boy (2012), Forte told Orlando the story and brought in the letter to show him. He also brought Orlando to an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (2009) to perform "Knock Three Times" with The Roots house band and Fallon and Forte singing back-up. Forte told the story during his appearance on "Fallon".
13
On the board of directors for the The National Policy and Advocacy Council on Homelessness (as of 2012).
14
Forte auditioned twice for SNL. He was offered a position in 2001 but turned it down to produce and write for That '70s Show (1998). He decided to audition again in 2002.
15
Is an avid bowler, volleyball player, runner, karaoke singer (often with friend Jason Sudeikis) and video gamer.
16
Scrubs (2001)'s creator, Bill Lawrence, named a patient on "Scrubs" after Forte, who starred in his previous series, Clone High (2002).
17
Was the math tutor of Faye Dunaway's 12-year-old son.
18
Was almost fired after the third season of SNL when the cast was considered too bloated and cuts were made. He was the last cast member brought back.
19
His favorite episode of Saturday Night Live (1975) was hosted by Betty White. His favorite skit was "The Spelling Bee". His favorite impersonation to do was "Zel Miller".
20
Was voted Class of 1988's Best Personality in high school. He was also student president, a varsity swimmer and on varsity football.
21
Will officiated his sister's wedding and filmed the births of his niece and nephew. He discussed finding the right angle to film a birth on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (2009).
22
Forte had two movies (Rock of Ages (2012) and That's My Boy (2012)) released the week of his 42nd birthday.
23
He was almost electrocuted on the set of The Brothers Solomon (2007) when someone in the prop department accidentally plugged the battery pack of his lighted ice skating costume into an actual outlet. He claims it burned his entire chest.
24
While he has often spoke of "being Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)", an article on him at the former website Grantland said that it was unclear if he had ever been officially diagnosed with OCD even though he often brought the subject up. Forte said that he and a former girlfriend once read through a pamphlet on OCD and then answered a quiz set where the pamphlet results/advice set was "You should talk to someone immediately about this." He has also said he is unable to leave any task (even games) un-finished. He claims he was so consumed by one jigsaw puzzle friends took it from him during a party and threw it away.
25
Previously the national spokesperson for the non-profit charity SCIfEyes. Donated $10,000 to the fund in 2005.
26
His mother and two of her friends visited the set during the naked celery scene of MacGruber (2010).
27
According to Darrell Hammond, the only time he cracked facing the camera was during his Donald Rumsfeld sketch when Will Forte improvised and kissed him on the cheek twice as George W. Bush.
28
In her book, "Girl Walks Into a Bar", Rachel Dratch describes Will Forte and Seth Meyers as two of her comedy non-boyfriends (male friends she relates to as brothers). Dratch and Forte lived on the same block during their time together at SNL and would often have breakfast together.
29
Forte goes by his middle name Willis rather than his first name Orville. As a child, his nickname was Billy. Although the fourth with the name Orville Willis Forte, he is the first to go by a variation of the name. His father went by Reb, his grandfather went by Junie, and his Great-Grandfather went by Buster.
30
Months before her death, Will filmed his grandmother in Internet ads for his movie The Brothers Solomon (2007), discussing her favorite dessert and questioning the movie's title. His mother appeared in the Mother's Day episode of SNL when Will Forte sang a song to her and wedding scene of MacGruber. He also brings staged pictures of his mother and sister on talk show appearances.
31
During his audition for SNL he began and ended with skits by cursing. As he walked out the room he gave Lorne Michaels a half-hearted apology. Having the job at That '70s Show (1998) waiting for him allowed him to go for broke during the audition.
32
Has the 36th highest score in the World for the classic video game Donkey Kong! Will played the game a lot while filming A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (2011) in Wilmington, NC after seeing the movie The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007). His score can be seen on the official high score website of Twin Galaxies, the official keeper of world records for the Guiness book of records for video and pinball games. Will and his stand-in Leo Daniels (13th highest DK score) on the film A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (2011) are supposed to have a Donkey Kong playoff in the near future.
