Bill Hader's Lucky Sandman

September 24, 2007 AT 05:08PM | Comments (1)

Hader Yesterday's New York Times had a pretty interesting profile of SNL cast member and Superbad supporting actor Bill Hader. Among other things, they revealed Hader's odd superstition:

In 2005 Mr. Hader was rereading “The Sandman,” the supernatural comic-book series by Neil Gaiman, when he learned he was being considered for a spot on “Saturday Night Live.” He decided the two events couldn’t simply be a coincidence.

“I got all superstitious about it,” he said on a recent stroll through the science fiction section of the Chelsea Barnes & Noble. “Like, when I have Neil Gaiman books around me, I just do better.”

At his “SNL” audition Mr. Hader performed with a copy of Mr. Gaiman’s novel “Neverwhere” in his back pocket. Sure enough, he got the job. And on a restless Friday night before his first appearance on the show that October, Mr. Hader reread the final issue of “The Sandman” to calm his nerves.

For the rest, read A ‘Superbad’ Geek’s Progress.
