Anchorman. You cant mention Will Ferrell without mentioning Ron Burgundy. With Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues currently at the cinema, this is actually the third outing for the perfectly-coiffoured newsreader. Unused and edited scenes from the first Anchorman film 2004 were stitched together to create Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie.

Bewitched. A film disliked so much that Stewie from Family Guy travelled all the way to Hollywood and bought a set of ladders just so he could punch Ferrell for being in it. Not even Nicole Kidman twitching her nose as Samantha the witch could save this turkey from being roasted.

C is for Chelsea. Ferrell claims to be a fan of Premier League club Chelsea and has even acted as an honorary captain for the team when they played Inter Milan in 2009. He also says he likes Ipswich Town, so maybe he just likes blue.

D is for Diseased duodenum. As an infant, Ferrell had pyloric stenosis which caused violent vomiting. The treatment for this condition is surgery, which is why the comedian has a pronounced scar on his stomach.

Eastbound Down. This criminally overlooked TV series featuring Danny McBride as the worlds most egotistical baseball player Kenny Powers also stars Ferrell in a standout role as the slightly insane car dealership owner Ashley Schaeffer.

Frat Pack. Ferrell is often lumped in with a group of actors that make up the Frat Pack: Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Steve Carell, Jack Black, Vince Vaughn and Luke and Owen Wilson.

Groundlings. Ferrell was a member of this well known sketch comedy troupe based in Los Angeles before moving on to work as a cast member of Saturday Night Live.

H is for Humor. Humor is Ferrells specialty. He has been working as a comedian, writer and impersonator since he was in his early 20s. Examples of his own personal brand of humor include: I want to have 3 kids and name them Ctrl, Alt and Delete. Then if they fuck up I will just hit them all at once and my hamster died today. He fell asleep at the wheel.

I is forIrvine. Ferrell was born in this affluent Californian city on 16 July 1962.

J is forJohn. Ferrells full name is John William Ferrell.

K is forKing of the Hill. Known for his voice acting skills, Ferrell made a guest appearance on the long running animated show as Coach Lucas.

Land of the Lost. Ferrell has enjoyed considerable success in his career and has an estimated worth of nearly 50 million. But in 2009, not even Ferrell riding a dinosaur could save this dreadful comedy from bombing. It cost 60 million, took 42 million and won a Razzie Award for Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel.

Megamind. A year after the hopeless flop that was Land of the Lost, Ferrell gave his voice to an evil blue alien called Megamind. The film made over 195 million at the box office and is currently Ferrells highest-grossing movie until he appears in a Transformers sequel that is.

Nominations. Ferrell isnt your typical thespian so it might seem quite a surprise that he has been nominated for awards beyond his comedy work. He was nominated for a Golden Globe for 20068242s Stranger than Fiction, which featured the comedian in a more dramatic role. Unfortunately, he lost out to Sacha Baron Cohen for Borat. Ferrell would get even with the British comic later that year in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

Old School. The film that arguably propelled Ferrell to stardom. Small parts in films like Austin Powers and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back had brought Ferrell more screen-time, however, it was this 2003 raucous comedy that gave the world Frank the Tank streaking around town.

P is forPresident. One of Ferrells best known impersonations was that of former US President George W. Bush. Such was his competence as the infamously bungling leader that Ferrell was able to open a Broadway show called Youre Welcome America: A Final Night with George W Bush.

Q is forQuotes. Naturally a funny man will always be expected to say funny things, and Ferrell does deliver. Some of his best include: sitting in green room with Justin Biebermust resist urge to roundhouse kick him in his midget face and I never let my children watch big band performances on TV. Too much sax and violins.

Reindeer eyeball. When Ferrell got to appear on Man vs. Wild alongside nature wrestler Bear Grylls he got to try the delicacy that is a glutinous glob of reindeer eyeball. His character Buddy from Christmas film Elf would have been horrified

Semi-Pro. This 2008 film didnt make great returns at the box office and was mostly unpopular with the critics, but where else could you watch Ferrell as a semi-professional basketball playerone-hit wonder take on a grizzly bear in a cage-fight?

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. This excellent 2006 film features Ferrell as a troubled NASCAR driver who loses his mojo and his wife and a bizarre footrace for victory against an arrogant French Formula One driver played by Sacha Baron Cohen.

U is forUSC. The American comic studied at the University of Southern California. He earned a degree in Sports Information.

Viveca Paulin. Ferrells wife is this Swedish actress, who appeared in one of the comedians early films, A Night at the Roxbury, credited as Porsche girl. The couple have three children, but none of them are called Ctrl, Alt or Delete.

W is forWedding Crashers and The Watch. After appearing in the popular 2005 hit Wedding Crashers as a man who crashes weddings, and later funerals, looking for single women Ferrell was offered a role for the future production of Neighbourhood Watch. However, Ferrell dropped out and the project was eventually released as the critically derided Ben Stiller movie The Watch.

X is forXanax. Whilst portraying George W. Bush giving a presidential address Ferrell joked that he had swallowed three Xanax and a Silver Bullet before speaking to the American nation. Silver Bullet is a nickname for the Coors Light beer Bush frequently had issues with alcohol abuse.

Y is forYellow Hat. When the 2006 animated film Curious George came out it starred Will Ferrell as the voice talent for The Man in the Yellow Hat, the famous monkeys good friend.

Zoolander. This silly but amusing 2001 film about competing male models had Ferrell playing a tyrannical designer called Jacobim Mugatu. Who could forget the pampered dictator complaining to his assistant about his drink before exchanging some curious glances with each other: Todd, are you not aware that I get farty and bloated with a foamy latte?
