Where You've Seen The Cast Of Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure Of Foggy Mountain Before

John Higgins will obviously be most widely known to audiences at this point for his work in Please Don't Destroy and "Saturday Night Live" as a whole, as well as the undeniable resemblance to his famous father. But that's not the only thing the writer and performer has been up to, nor will "The Treasure of Foggy Mountain" even be his first film. Though not a huge part, he played a hardware store clerk in the Tom Hanks dramedy "A Man Called Otto." He was much more visible in another 2023 comedy called "The Country Club," a coming-of-age film which also featured dad Steve Higgins.

In 2021, Higgins appeared in three episodes of the web series "The Basics," which also featured both of his Please Don't Destroy co-stars as well as a few other "Saturday Night Live" cast members. He appeared as himself in the special "Miley's New Years Eve Party: Legendary" in 2022 — which he also co-wrote — and was a guest on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" in 2023. Higgins also joins his Please Don't Destroy partners in returning to the troupe's roots and taking the show on the road from time to time, something they might not have as much time for if their film careers end up taking off. 

When your father spent seven years as a writer on "Saturday Night Live" and then went on to co-write multiple smash hit movies with Adam Sandler, it's safe to say that comedy is in your blood. That's the case with Martin Herlihy, who has had as good a role model for building a successful comedy writing career as anyone could have by being the son of Tim Herlihy. It also didn't hurt that Tim gave his son Martin one of Martin's first screen credits by casting him as a teenage zombie for Sandler's 2020 Netflix film "Hubie Halloween."

Like his fellow Please Don't Destroy members, Martin Herlihy is best known thus far from "Saturday Night Live." But he also appeared in two episodes of the Fox mockumentary sitcom "Welcome to Flatch" as a character named Chris Jordan, proving he can do more than just sketch comedy and playing exaggerated versions of himself. His dad has only sporadically appeared on screen — typically in his own movies and in cameo-type roles — preferring to primarily be a writer and producer. It'll be interesting to see if Martin goes that same route or if he doubles down on performing as his career progresses.

Conan O'Brien knows a thing or two about writing for "Saturday Night Live" and then transitioning into a career in front of the camera. After spending some time writing for "SNL" and "The Simpsons" — and "Not Necessarily the News" before that — O'Brien started hosting "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" in 1993. He then went on to spend the better part of 30 years being a near-constant presence on late night television hosting various talk shows. Fittingly enough, he plays the dad of fellow redhead Ben Marshall in "The Treasure of Foggy Mountain." 

While his part in the Please Don't Destroy movie seems like it might be his meatiest acting role to date, O'Brien is no stranger to the craft. While the majority of his acting credits see him playing himself, he has portrayed other people from time to time — for instance, artist Andy Warhol in the faux-biopic "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story." Most commonly, however, he does voice roles, including the Riddler in "The Lego Batman Movie," Santa Claus in "The Backyardigans," and Clarence on TBS's "Final Space," which he also executive produced. In 2019, his voice and likeness were used for the character known as The Wandering MC in the video game "Death Stranding." 

The other of the two park rangers who decide to work against rather than with the main trio in "The Treasure of Foggy Mountain" seems to be named Sullivan, based on her uniform as it's seen in the trailer. Sullivan is played by writer, actor, and comedian X Mayo. X Mayo's first experience with performing came by way of being a member of the Upright Citizens Brigade improv comedy troupe, which got her noticed and hired by "The Daily Show" as a writer and performer — a job she did for about three years.

Her first major acting role was as a series regular on the comedy series "American Auto," which was created by "Superstore" creator Justin Spitzer and ran for two seasons on NBC between 2021 and 2023. X Mayo also appeared in the films "The Blackening," "Finding 'Ohana," and "The Farewell." In 2023, she starred in an episode of the Prime Video horror comedy series "Swarm." In October of that year, it was reported that X Mayo was one of the candidates being considered to host the CBS remake of Comedy Central's game show "@midnight," which will air in the time slot formerly occupied by "The Late Late Show with James Corden."

Things take a dark turn for our heroes during the course of "The Treasure of Foggy Mountain," as the trailer shows them ending up at the camp of a seemingly dangerous cult. While Bowen Yang — more on him later — is the most prominent cult member shown, it's easy to also catch a few glimpses of actor Cedric Yarbrough as one of the group's purple-clad heavies.

A television veteran, Yarbrough was most recently a recurring regular on nostalgia sitcom "The Goldbergs." He was also a main cast member on the three-season ABC sitcom "Speechless," where he played the big-hearted aide to JJ (Micah Fowler). But there's no denying that Yarbrough's most famous role to date has been that of Deputy Jones on "Reno 911!," a part he has played for nearly 20 years across various series, specials, and even a theatrical film. 

Among the non-"Reno 911!" movies that the actor has appeared in are "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Drillbit Taylor," "Get Smart," "Four Christmases," and "Meet the Fockers." Additionally, Yarbrough has lent his distinctive voice to "BoJack Horseman," "The Boondocks," and "Paradise PD," among many other animated projects on both the big and small screen.

Back to Bowen Yang, who plays the cultist that is first seen smiling and then scowling and brandishing a large knife in the "Treasure of Foggy Mountain" trailer. He's surely not the only "Saturday Night Live" cast member in the movie, but he's seemingly the most prominent and the only one besides the main three to be playing a major role. Yang has been one of the biggest breakout stars of the newest generation of "SNL" players, both a standout in sketches as well as being part of some of the funniest "Weekend Update" viral moments in recent memory.

Thanks to "SNL" loosening the reins in recent years and not making cast members wait until they're done with the show to dive into film and other television work, Yang has already built an impressive acting resume. His film roles include "Bros," "Dicks: The Musical," "The Monkey King," and "The Lost City," while he's appeared in TV shows like "Awkwafina is Nora from Queens," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," "Archer," and "Girls5eva." He has also made multiple guest judging appearances on "RuPaul's Drag Race," and wrote an episode of the acclaimed Apple+ musical series "Schmigadoon!," which stars his former "SNL" co-star Cecily Strong.

John Goodman needs no introduction. Even if you didn't know in advance that he was the narrator of "The Treasure of Foggy Mountain," you'll recognize his iconic voice a few words in. It's the kind of voice you get when you want to lend your project a bit of gravitas — but also rest assured that the bringer of said gravitas also knows his way around comedy. And there is no questioning Goodman's comedy bona fides.

Goodman first rose to mainstream fame as Dan Connor on the trailblazing sitcom "Roseanne" — a role he reprised for both the short-lived "Roseanne" revival and its follow-up series, "The Conners." He's also recently been killing it as the patriarch of the titular family at the center of HBO's "The Righteous Gemstones." But Goodman has done plenty of iconic work on the big screen as well, most notably through his many collaborations with the Coen Brothers. On top of playing the brilliantly frustrating Walter Sobchak in "The Big Lebowski," Goodman has also stolen scenes in "Raising Arizona," "O Brother Where Art Thou?," and "Barton Fink," to name a few. 

Apart from his work with the Coens, Goodman played Fred Flinstone in the live-action film adaptation of "The Flinstones," portrayed the titular subject of the biopic "The Babe," and has voiced fuzzy blue monster Sully across multiple Pixar projects. Oh, and — bringing this full circle — he's also hosted "SNL" an astounding 13 times.
