Jason Sudeikis Net Worth $10 Million
Jason Sudeikis was born in 1975 in Fairfax, Virginia, USA. Jason, who is of mixed Irish, German and Lithuanian origin, grew up in Kansas as his family moved there when he was still a child. It seems like this city remained important to Sudeikis as it plays important role in his comic writing. Jason’s career began when he became a member of a comedy group called “ComedySportz” and that also took place in Kansas. To advance his career he later moved to Chicago where he joined several other comedy groups such as ImprovOlympics, pright Citizens Brigade and Second City Las Vegas, before he was hired as a writer for the Saturday Night Live. That happened in 2003 and two years later Jason advanced to become full cast member. This job which he kept on doing until 2013 contributed much to the growth of Jason Sudeikis net worth.
Besides his work in “Saturday Night Live” Jason Sudeikis is also well known for his other roles. One of those is his appearance in a TV series “30 Rock” where he starred along with another star Tina Fey. Later on Sudeikis turned into film more and more, appearing in Hollywood comedies such as “What happens in Vegas” and “The Bounty Hunter”, alongside such starts as Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston. James’s probably biggest hit so far was his role in a comedy movie “Horrible Bosses, directed by Seth Gordon and released in 2011. In this movie Jason appeared together with many famous actors including Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, Colin Farrell, Charlie Day and others. His next film brought Sudeikis his first leading role and that was in a film called “Hall Pass” made by Farrelly Brothers and which was again a comedy. All these roles helped Jason Sudeikis to grow his net worth but it looks like in the future he will become even more rich. That is thanks to his appearance in a 2013 movie “Drinking Buddies” as well as “We’re the Millers”, and of course an upcoming sequel “Horrible Bosses2”.
Jason Sudeikis has been married to an actress and a fellow writer on the ‘Saturday Night Live’ Kay Cannon but the couple divorced in 2010. Currently he is engaged to an actress Olivia Wilde and they already have a newborn baby boy.

[on Feb 5, 2016 in L.A. Times, about Nacho Vigalondo's Colossal (2016)] "'OK.' So that's what the movie is about." [when Vigalondo says, "I don't want to give too much away. I would say it's a movie about a woman who returns home and every time she drinks, a monster attacks South Korea"].

[on Feb 5, 2016 in L.A. Times, when writer-director Peter Farrelly of Hall Pass (2011) told him that he reminded him of Jack Lemmon] I'm flattered by the comparison, especially given the breath of what I have done to this point. I like the responsibility of being a person who can be a vessel for the story.

It's fun to play the type of people you dislike.

That's what I love about sketch comedy: a sketch is five minutes, then it goes dark, and there's the potential for something else.

You start at SNL when you're young and hungry, but I don't want my pro years to be my SNL years.

A mustache really defines your face. My dad had a mustache when I was growing up, and I can still remember when he shaved it, he looked like a completely different person.

Being polite and grateful will make people more inclined to help you. And if people are willing to help you, you may accidentally get something you want.

Once I walked out of my house into to the Puerto Rican Day parade. It was usually a five-minute walk to work, but that day it took me a half-hour to get to 30 Rock.

When somebody listens and laughs, you're always in better shape than when you're with those folks who just kind of look at you when you say something funny. You wonder if they're looking at you because they're mad that they didn't say it or something. It's hard to handle that.

People are getting cynical about the news. It doesn't seem like there's one place to watch where you get the straight dope. You watch the channel that proves your point.

Each experience I go through - marriage, my public life, my personal life - I'm learning as I go.

Growing up, my sisters were both into dancing, so I went to a lot of dance recitals, mostly because there were always pretty girls in leotards.

I am now The Establishment. There's nothing I can do about it.

I think people who live in the worlds that movies are based on end up disliking them. Unless they're from a different time and era.

My floundering career has nothing to do with my lack of talent, or being a five in the looks department. It's the height that's going to get me, you're absolutely correct. I don't know why people keep hiring me. I'm like, "Guys, I'm really way too tall to be doing this." I bring it up all the time, but nobody's listening. Maybe it helps that I tell people I'm five foot thirteen.
