Actress and comedian Cheri Oteri emerged from obscurity into the proverbial limelight in the mid-'90s. 1995 brought with it the performer's definitive breakthrough; that year, Oteri -- then a member of the L.A. comedy troupe The Groundlings -- was tapped by Saturday_Night_Live to join its regular cast of players. She remained with SNL for five years, and cultivated an enthusiastic response for such recurring bits as impersonations of Ross_Perot and Debbie_Reynolds. Oteri transitioned to film roles around 2000, coincident with her Saturday_Night_Live departure; as a cinematic performer, she specialized in richly comic characterizations in gag-laden farces such as Scary_Movie (2000), Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003), and Shrek the Third (2007). In 2006, Oteri teamed up with Donnie_Darko wunderkind Richard_Kelly for that helmer's epic dystopian comedy Southland_Tales. Nathan Southern, Rovi
