Saturday Night Live breakout star Ashley Padilla is set to appear in Universal Pictures’ upcoming romcom The Catch alongside Emma Stone and Chris Pine.

Meanwhile, here’s everything you need to know about Ashley Padilla.
Padilla grew up across Oakland and Livermore, California, where she and her siblings were raised by a single mum who worked as a software company producer.
The second eldest of her siblings, Padilla enjoyed making people laugh and described herself as a class clown during her high school days in an interview with Vulture.
However, Padilla struggled with academics, failing classes and lacking an interest in school. “I was absolutely blind to my own self-worth, and I relied on exterior validation, which I was not getting. No one was like, ‘You have an A in this,’” she told the magazine. “I felt just horrible about myself.”
It was around this time that Padilla’s mother bought DVDs of the American version of beloved mockumentary sitcom, The Office, and Padilla discovered Steve Carell, Will Ferrell and later fellow SNL star Kristen Wiig, who went on to influence her comedy style.
