Saturday Night Live: Actors & Skin

In the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's, Saturday Night Live was a springboard to the movies.  So many of the cast members, mostly male cast members, used the show as a spring board to work in films.  Some did movies based on their SNL characters, many, created new characters for viewers to love.  

It seems the road to the movies isn't as easy for SNL cast members these days, and again, especially for women.  Some, like Wiig, Rudolph and Poehler have had success, but like working on the show itself, the road seems much tougher for female writers, actors and comedians.   Below is a list of SNL male cast members who not only moved to the movies, but had nude scenes on screen.  I linked to those I've featured previously on the site.
