His time at SNL significantly elevated his profile, allowing him to showcase his comedic range through impressions and original characters. His contributions included impersonations of political and cultural figures and participation in numerous memorable sketches during a critical era of the show’s history.
Bennett made his feature film debut in 2014 with the independent film "Beside Still Waters." In 2016, he appeared in several other movies, including "Zoolander No. 2" and the romantic comedy "The Late Bloomer." That same year, he lent his voice to the animated film "Sing," which further demonstrated his adaptability as a performer.
He continues to be active on platforms like Twitter, where he shares updates about his latest projects and connects with fans from his comic world.
