Here's a guide to the career of actor and comedian Beck Bennett outside of Saturday Night Live. Bennett's early career consists of a series of comedy shorts, with one of his earliest TV roles coming with 2011's Appleseed Elementary, a comedy focusing on a group of school teachers. He followed with assorted movie and TV projects, including parody slasher Kill Me Now and appearances on Tim Allen sitcom Last Man Standing and Arrested Development.
Since 2013 Beck Bennett has been a cast member of iconic comedy series Saturday Night Live. Bennett has proven he has a knack for impressions on the show, where he's parodied the likes of Vladimir Putin, Sam Elliott, Mike Pence and Simon Cowell, among many others. He's also appeared in some of SNL's most popular sketches of recent years, such as "Haunted Elevator (ft. David S. Pumpkins)" - featuring Tom Hanks as the perplexing title character - and "Pepsi Commerical," where he plays the director of Kendall Jenner's infamous Pepsi advert from 2017.
Beck Bennett has been plenty busy outside of Saturday Night Live. In 2013 he had a guest role on animated series Axe Cop, starred alongside fellow SNL alum Kate McKinnon in the poorly-received 2014 movie Balls Out and made an appearance in the comedy The Party Is Over. 2016 proved to be a big year, as he cameoed in belated sequel Zoolander 2 and voiced porcupine Lance in the starry cast of animated musical comedy Sing. He also appeared in drama Dean that same year.
Beck Bennett's star has continued to rise, and in 2017 he joined the voice cast of the rebooted DuckTales as pilot Launchpad McQuack; the new series has run for three seasons thus far. In 2017 he appeared in an episode of the sadly short-lived horror-comedy Ghosted starring Craig Robinson and Adam Scott, voiced a character on We Bare Bears and played a lead role in 2019's bizarre comedy Greener Grass.
That same year Beck Bennett's voice could be heard in animated sequel The Angry Birds Movie 2 and he appeared in a couple of episodes of Aidy Bryant show Shrill. In 2020 Bennett played Deacon in the well-received - and long-delayed - sequel Bill & Ted Face The Music, where Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves reprised the lovably dim title characters. Bennett's voice will be heard once again in the upcoming Hulu series MODOK, where is based on the Marvel supervillain of the same name. Patton Oswalt will voice the title character while Beck Bennett plays A.I.M boss Austin van der Sleet.
