Seth Rogen

Early life Rogen was born in Vancouver, British Columbia on April 15, 1982, to Sandy, a social worker, and Mark Rogen, [2] [3] [4] who worked for non-profit organizations and as an assistant director of a Workmen's Circle. He has [3] described his parents, who met at an Israeli kibbutz, as "radical Jewish socialists." He has one older sister, [2] Danya. Rogen attended Vancouver Talmud Torah Elementary School and Point Grey Secondary School (although he never graduated), incorporating many of his classmates into his writing. He was also known for the stand-up [2] comedy he performed at Camp Miriam, a Habonim Dror camp. Rogen got his start in show business at age 12, after signing up for a comedy workshop class taught by Mark [2] Pooley. His early comedy routines involved jokes about his bar mitzvah, his grandparents and his camp [2] [4] counselors. Once it occurred to him that being funny could be an actual job, that was the career path he wanted. During his teenage years he would perform stand-up comedy routines at places like bar mitzvahs and small parties [5] [6] [7] before upgrading to bars. He was even paid to write jokes by a mohel. At the age of 13, he co-wrote a rough [4] [7] draft ofSuperbadwith childhood friend Evan Goldberg, who he had met at bar mitzvah classes. Based on their [3] teenage experiences, Rogen and Goldberg spent the rest of their time in high school polishing the script. They initially worried that the 1999 filmAmerican Piehad beaten them to the idea for the movie, but felt that it lacked "all [3] honest interaction between characters, which is what [they]'re going for." His mother was supportive of his comic endeavors and would often drive him to stand-up gigs at the comedy club [7] [5] Yuk Yuks. With his deadpan humor, he won the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Contest at 16 years old. Also at age 16, Rogen's father lost his job and his mother quit hers, forcing them to put their house up for sale and relocate to a significantly smaller apartment. Around this time, he landed a role on Judd Apatow's television showFreaks and [4] [7] [8] [9] Geeksafter attending a local casting call. After dropping out of high school, he began working for Apatow and relocated with his family to Los Angeles. Rogen paid the bills and had become the main wage earner at [4] just 16.

Acting, writing and producing career

Early work and friendship with Judd Apatow Rogen's acting debut was in Apatow's 1980s-set cult hit seriesFreaks and Geeksas Ken Miller, a cynical, acerbic [4] "freak". Revolving around a group of teenagers' lives,Freaks and Geeksfirst aired in 1999. Although [8] well-reviewed, the show was NBC's lowest-viewed program and was canceled after one season due to poor rating. [10] [7] Very impressed with Rogen's improvisational skills, Apatow then chose him as the lead in another of his shows,Undeclared. Rogen was originally set to play a fairly popular but nerdy college freshman, but the network did not think he was leading male material. Apatow opted not to go along with the show but, after facing the risk of [7] [11] [12] getting sued, he hired him for a small role. Rogen also served as a staff writer to the short-lived production. Following the show's 2002 cancellation, Rogen did not get many auditions, which was not upsetting to him as he [13] always thought he would achieve better success as a writer. He would soon be a part of Apatow's "frat pack", a [5] close knit group that includes Steve Carell and Paul Rudd. Of the awkwardness of a grown man spending so much time with a teenaged Rogen, Apatow said: "I'm such a comedy fan that even though he's 16, I know I'm hanging out [7] with one of the guys who's going to be one of the great comics." Around this time Apatow would come up with odd requests for Rogen and Goldberg to pass, such as: turn an idea of his into a movie in 10 days and come up with [13] 100 one-page-long ideas for films. Regarding Apatow's professional effect on Rogen, the actor said in 2009, [5] "Obviously, I can't stress how important Judd's been to my career". Next, he had brief parts in the Drew Barrymore-producedDonnie Darko(2001) and Apatow's Will Ferrell-starring [14] 2004 filmAnchormanbig career point for him was becoming a staff writer for Sacha Baron Cohen's last. A [9] season ofDa Ali G Showin 2004. Along with the show's other writers, Rogen received a Primetime Emmy Award [15] nomination. He became familiar to audiences as one of the main character's witty co-workers in Apatow's

[16] [17] well-reviewed buddy comedy directorial debut featureThe 40-Year-Old Virginalso(2005). Rogen [9] [18] co-produced it and improvised all his dialogue. "[Rogen] hadn’t done any screen work that indicated he could carry as memorable and convincing a performance as he does with the character Cal," MTV's John Constantine [14] wrote.Boston Globereviewer Wesley Morris wrote that Rogen, along with co-stars Rudd and Romany Malco, [19] were each hilarious in their own right andOrlando Sentinel's Roger Moore believed that Rogen had his moments [20] [21] in the film whereas Moira Macdonald of theSeattle TimesHesaid the actor was a "droopily deadpan." followed this with a small role inYou, Me and Dupree, a critically panned 2006 comedy also featuring Michael [22] Douglas.

Breakthrough

His breakthrough came when Universal Studios greenlit him for the lead in yet another Apatow production:Knocked Up(2007), a dramedy that follows the repercussions of a drunken one-night stand between his slacker character and Katherine Heigl's just-promoted media personality that results in an unintended pregnancy. Upon completing The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Apatow had approached Rogen about potential starring roles, but the actor suggested many high-concept science fiction ideas. After Apatow insisted that he would work better Rogen (far right) at San Diego Comic-Con in in real life situations, the two agreed on the accidental pregnancy 2010 [23] concept of this production. Rogen called shooting sex scenes with Heigl "nerve racking" and found comfort with the supporting cast [24] [25] since, even though he played the lead, the focus was not all on him. Made on a $30 million budget and released on June 1,Knocked Upwas a critical and commercial box office hit, garnering an approval rating of [26] [27] 90 percent on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes and grossing $219 million. Rogen also received favorable [28] [29] reviews. Later that year he played a supporting part as an irresponsible police officer inSuperbad, which he had written with his writing partner and was co-produced by Apatow. Michael Cera and Jonah Hill originate the [3] main roles, two teenage best friends whose party plans go wrong, based on them. The film and their writing was [30] [31] praised, with critics finding it to be very authentic. It topped the US box office for two weeks in a row. Rogen [32] [33] hostedSaturday Night Liveon October 4, 2009.and again on April 6, 2007

2008 was a busy year for the actor. Among his projects were Jimmy Hayward'sHorton Hears a Who!, an animated [34] film based on the Dr. Seuss book, that Rogen voiced a character in. Rogen additionally co-wroteDrillbit Taylor, [35] a starring Owen Wilson as the homeless titular character that is also produced by Apatow. He based the [36] screenplay on a 70-page scriptment done by John Hughes. The movie was panned by critics who thought its plot –a grown man becoming three kids' bodyguard and beating up their bullies–had no focus and was drawn out. "If Superbadwere remade as a gimmicky Nickelodeon movie, it would probably look something likeDrillbit Taylor" [37] Josh Bell wrote in theLas Vegas Weeklyagain lent his voice to another animated movie, this time. He Kung Fu [38] PandaIt did exceptionally well in theaters, making more than, with Jack Black and Angelina Jolie. [39] $630 million. Rogen, Goldberg and Apatow were behind the stoner action comedyPineapple Expressdirected by [40] David Gordon Green at Columbia Pictures. Apatow produced it while Rogen and Goldberg wrote the script. The actor chose to play the film's protagonist, a 25-year-old who accidentally witnesses a murder while delivering a subpoena. James Franco was cast as his hippie pot dealer that he goes on the run with. When asked about its [41] inspiration, Rogen said he wrote what he knew.Pineapple Express6 and madewas released to theaters on August [42] $101 million in ticket sales against its $27 million production budget. Movie critics lauded it, appreciating their [40] [43] performances and its humor.

Seth Rogen

In April 2008,Empirereported that the actor and Goldberg would write an [44] episode for the animated television seriesThe Simpsons. He also voiced a [45] character in the episode, entitled "Homer the Whopper", which opened the [46] twenty-first season. Kevin Smith's romantic comedyZack and Miri Make a Pornorounded out 2008 for the actor. He and Elizabeth Banks portrayed the title roles: Pennsylvania roommates who try to make some extra cash by making an adult film together. After having difficulty trying to secure an R rating, Rogen commented to MTV, "It's a really filthy movie" but complained "It's really crazy to me thatHostelis fine, with people gouging their eyes out and shit like that... [47] But you can't show two people having sex—The picturethat's too much". Rogen in 2007. was distributed on Halloween by The Weinstein Company and disappointed at [48] the box office. Along with Reese Witherspoon, he voiced a character in the [49] animated science fictionMonsters vs Aliensmillion. Hedid well commercially, with a total of $381.5  (2009), [50] then starred in the Jody Hill-directed mall cop comedyObserve and Reportwhich he portrayed bipolar mall, in security guard Ronnie Barnhart. The film opened in theaters on April 10. Critics noted a departure in Rogen's acting style from playing laid-back roles to playing a more sadistic character; Wesley Morris from theBoston Globeopined that "Often with Rogen, his vulnerability makes his coarseness safe...Ronnie is something altogether new for Rogen. [51] Vulnerability never arrives. He's shameless." Later in 2009, Rogen starred in Apatow's third directorial feature, Funny People, with Adam Sandler. Rogen played a young, inexperienced comic while Sandler played a mentor of [52] sorts to his character; the film had more dramatic elements in it than Apatow's previous efforts.Funny Peoplewas [53] [54] a commercial failure, coming short of its $75 million budget, but has a "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Recent work After years of development, a feature film adaptation ofThe Green Hornet was handled by Rogen and Goldberg, [5] with a theatrical release in January 2011. Rogen chose to do a re-imagining of the titular character. Besides executively producing the movie, he also cast himself as the main part. Rogen later admitted to having been overwhelmed by handling its $120 million budget. "It's insane. But it's not so much the specific amount of money [55] that's stressful, it's all the things that go along with making a movie of that size." The actor also went on a strict [5] weight-loss diet to play the slim crime fighter.The Green Hornetwas a critical disappointment; Adam Graham of [56] theDetroit Newscalled it "a big, sloppy, loud, grating mess of a movie" and theArizona Republic's Bill [57] Goodykoontz found its story to have fallen apart. Nonetheless it still opened at number one at the box office, [58] making $33 million in its opening weekend before going on to gross more than $225 million. [59] He reprised his voice role inKung Fu Panda 2well as produced and took a supporting role in, as 50/50, from Mandate Pictures. The dramedy about cancer was based on an autobiographical script by screenwriter Will [60] Reiser, and was released in September 2011. In mid-2010, Rogen shot scenes for another upcoming film,Take [61] This WaltzAnother of his movies, Paramount Pictures's road movie, with Michelle Williams. My Mother's Curse, also starring Barbara Streisand is due out in cinemas in 2012. The film is about an inventor (Rogen) who invites his [62] mother (Streisand) on a road trip as he attempts to sell his new product while also reuniting her with a lost love.

Rogen has spoken out about awareness of Alzheimer's disease. No one in his biological family has it but it runs in his wife's side, and has affected her mother for several years. "I think until you see it firsthand, it's kind of hard to conceive of how brutal it is," Rogen said to CNN. "Until I saw it, you just don't get kind of how heartbreaking it can [66] be." During the interview, Rogen talked about how he tries to be emotionally supportive and around as much as he can for Miller's mother. Both he and Miller spoke to Larry King forKing Special, Unthinkable: TheA Larry [66] Alzheimer's Epidemic2011., which aired in April
