Master Thespian was a recurring character on American sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live, appearing 13 times between 1985 and 1989. Played by Jon Lovitz, Master Thespian was a ruthlessly ambitious egomaniacal actor who spoke with a plummy "Shakespearean" English accent and often elicited the sympathy of other characters in the sketch, only to reveal the ruse by declaring his catchphrase, "Acting!" His arch-rival, Baudelaire (John Lithgow), often had the last laugh in the escalating one-upmanship.
