Filmography Andy Samberg

Andy Samberg (born David A.J. Samberg; August 18, 1978) is an American actor, comedian, voice actor, writer, rapper and member of the comedy group The Lonely Island. He is known as a cast member on Saturday Night Live (2005-2012), where he and The Lonely Island have been credited with popularizing the Emmy-winning SNL Digital Shorts, the comical short films and music videos starring Samberg and other members of the SNL cast.[3] As a film actor, Samberg has starred in Hot Rod, Space Chimps, That's My Boy, and Celeste and Jesse Forever, and appeared in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, I Love You, Man, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Friends with Benefits, Hotel Transylvania and What's Your Number?. 
 
Samberg was born in Berkeley, California. His mother, Marjorie "Margi" (née Marrow), is an elementary school teacher who taught at Old Mill School, and his father, Joe Samberg, is a photographer. Samberg has two sisters, Johanna and Darrow. 
His family is Jewish, and his maternal grandfather, industrial psychologist and philanthropist Alfred J. Marrow, served as the executive chair of the American Jewish Congress. Samberg has described himself as "not particularly religious." 
Samberg is a third cousin of U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin (their maternal grandfathers were first cousins). 
 
Samberg discovered Saturday Night Live as a child, while sneaking past his parents to watch professional wrestling on television. 
He became "obsessed" with the show, and his devotion to comedy became frustrating to teachers who felt he was unfocused on his schoolwork. 
 
Samberg graduated from Berkeley High School in 1996. While there, he became interested in creative writing, and has stated: "[Writing classes] were the ones that I put all my effort into...that's what I cared about and that's what I ended up doing." 
He attended college at University of California, Santa Cruz, for two years before transferring to New York University for its acclaimed film school. He majored in experimental film, where he starred as "Monkey" in the music video for James Kochalka's song "Monkey vs. Robot".
