Fred Armisen
The former SNL star and comedian was actually born Fereydun “Fred” Armisen to a Venezuelan mother and a German and Korean father. He speaks Spanish, including on the HBO comedy he’s behind called Los Espookys (which is hilarious by the way). He has opened up about his background before, saying it has influenced his work.
“I think it helps when I’m covering a character with a Spanish accent,” he said to Latina.com. “My mother has one since she’s Venezuelan and my maternal side of the family, so that always helps.”
