What exactly are we merging to what?
Fred Armisen doesn't need to be merged into anything. He's a reperatory player on Saturday Night Live.

Oh I get it. You want to merge the parts of that list into all those pages, and then delete that list.
That's a good idea.

I think he is big enough to have his own page. He was one of the most popular characters in the movie EuroTrip as a creepy Italian guy. -- GURoadrunner
Definitely big enough to have his own page...Creepy guy in Eurotrip, SNL, etc...plenty of justification.
Why does it mention he's multi-racial and then not specify which races? Pointless. Unless anyone objects in the next 48 hrs, I'm going to go ahead and remove it. Besides, he looks like your average white guy to me. 66.9.126.26 19:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
The IMDb says he's "of German, Japanese, and Venezuelan descent." Is it relevant to point out someone's racial heritage if it's not immediately obvious? I guess it is an interesting bit of trivia but I don't know how to work that in there without it sounding awkward. I agree though that just listing the guy as "multiracial" and not defining it is improper. Everyone on the planet is multiracial when you get down to it! The Bob Talbot 22:33, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Someone should start a page for comedians who seem really cool and nice but are not funny at all. Fred Armisen's on that list for me. Which isn't a bad thing considering that most comedians are uncool and unfunny. I'm only half-joking about creating that page. Okay, I guess you couldn't do it. --158.104.171.69 04:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Fred Armisen is *not* the first SNL cast member of Asian descent. That goes to Rob Schneider (1990-1994) who is of part Filipino heritage. -- silentandroid 08:00, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Breaking Character
There have been many actors to grace the stage at Studio 8H. Almost all of them could be considered as having a reputation for never breaking character. Perhaps it is a warped view we SNL viewers have these days in the post-Jimmy Fallon-era. Actors aren't really supposed to crack up in every sketch. It may be fun to see somebody slip up every now and then. But, Fallon (with Horatio Sanz and others in tow) took breaking character to tedious heights. And apparently, he has bent the curve as this article suggests that it is, in fact, unusual or novel for an actor to properly perform his part.Swatson1978 23:22, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
He came pretty close in the Hugo Chavez Political Roundup last night. Amy Poehler's "Kim Jong Il" was effective enough to crack his face. - The Lake Effect 21:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
