	Actors - Sarah Silverman

Sarah Kate Silverman (born December 1, 1970) is a American stand-up comedian, actress, and writer. She is sometimes credited as Big S or Sarah 'Big S' Silverman.

Her innocent outward appearance and sing-song delivery is in direct contrast to much of her comic material, in which she deals with many controversial topics such as racism, abortion, rape, body hair, scatology, and child abuse, among others. Her comedy-acts are sometimes performed from a caricatured or stereotypical Jewish-American perspective.

Career

Silverman was born in Bedford, New Hampshire to Jewish-American parents Donald and Beth Ann Silverman. One of Silverman's earliest acting roles was as a 12-year-old starring in the title role of a Community Players of Concord production of Annie
. She performed stand-up comedy in her teens — in an October 2005 profile in The New Yorker, her sister Susan recalled an early performance at a Mexican restaurant when the 17-year-old Sarah sang a song called “Mammaries” (to the tune of “Memories...”), about wishing she had breasts. Silverman attended New York University for one year, but left to concentrate on her stand-up career.

Within three years Silverman had a major career break — she earned national exposure after earning a role on the 1993-94 season of Saturday Night Live
. She was a writer and featured player at this time, but was fired after one season because she had written only one sketch that survived through to dress rehearsal and none which made it to air. Bob Odenkirk, a former SNL writer who knew her from her stand-up act in Los Angeles, commented on why she was fired
