Why Uncle Fester From Netflix’s Wednesday Looks So Familiar
Fred Armisen will be playing the role of the bald-headed Uncle Fester on Netflix’s “Wednesday”. The actor is best known for his time on “Saturday Night Live” and his many roles in the show “Portlandia”, a sketch comedy show that takes place in the city of Portland and sees Armisen playing several different characters. “Portlandia” ran from 2011 until 2018 and managed to be nominated for 22 Emmys, winning four before ending its eight-season run.
Armisen boasts over 180 credits on his IMDB page, with a lot of those coming from just his voice. The well-known voice actor has credits from voicing characters on “Big Mouth,” “Robot Chicken,” “Mike Tyson Mysteries,” and “Archer” — just to name a few. He also has done voices for many kids’ shows and was even the voice of Speedy Gonzalez on “The Looney Tunes Show.”
And if you don’t recognize Armisen from “Saturday Night Live,” “Portlandia,” or his voice acting, he has also had appearances on many popular shows like “Parks and Recreation,” “Modern Family,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”
Armisen is an interesting choice for Uncle Fester, but his experience should mean that he has a good chance of nailing this character.
