Seth Rogen

Seth Rogen is one of Judd Apatow’s go to guys for his goofy comedy movies.  Seth is a Canadian born American actor who also does stand up comedy, writes, produces, and directs.  Seth was born April 15th 1982 in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada.  Rogen was born to liberal Jewish parents.Image result for seth rogen comedy

When Seth was only 13, he began doing stand up comedy at a local comedy club.  He was performing among people that were more than twice his age.  Three years later, he auditioned for a High-school television comedy drama called “Freaks and Geeks”.  Although the show was short lived, producer Judd Apatow was extremely impressed with Seths ability in front of the camera and hired him as an actor and writer on his new series “Undeclared”.  This series met a similar fate to “Freaks and Geeks” so Seth began working as a writer for Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Da Ali G Show”Image result for seth rogen

Although Seth and Judd went different paths, this wasn’t the end of their careers together.  Seth made appearances in some of Judd’s early films such as “The Legend of Ron Burgundy” and “The 40 Year Old Virgin”.  Rogen’s collaboration with Judd didn’t end their either.  They went on to produce hit movies such as Superbad, Pineapple Express, and Neighbors.  

Seth really did have an extremely impressive and accomplishing career.  Ever since he was 13, he was showing signs of something special.  The best part is, his career isn’t over yet.  He still has movies set to come out and will have many more to come.  He truly is a cinematic legend and I expect good things in his future.

The 40 Year Old Virgin Best Moments

Judd Appatow’s The 40 Year Old Virgin, which hit the cinemas in 2005, is about Andy Stitzer, Steve Carrel, as a single guy, in his 40’s, nerdy, geeky, and works at an electronic store.  This hilarious film follows Andy as him and his coworkers/friends try and help him get laid. What I find funny about this film is that it is a group of adults acting like a group of kids.  Its a satire based on being a virgin in high school or college where one friend hasn’t done it yet so the rest awkwardly and relentlessly try and help them.  Whether there methods or strategies are working or not, ones things for sure.  Its embarrassing.  Here are some of the best scenes from Judd Appatow’s The 40 Year Old Virgin.

Funny People Movie Review

Judd Apatow’s, Funny People, released in 2009.  Stares Adam Sandler.  The movie is about his character George, a superstar stand up comic, who finds he has a short time to live.  George although famous and successful, lives an isolated life.  He doesn’t really have anyone to go to when he hears of this news.   On a trip, George meets a hungry, ambitious young kid named Ira Wright, played by Seth Rogan.  George first hires him to write for him and as they become better friends, allows him to work his way up the ranks.  George eventually ends up  befriending Ira and tells him about his worries.  Laura, played by Leslie Mann was the one that got away.  George encounters her again in the film only to find she is married to an Australian man.  Success shut George and Laura’s relationship down, but George now finds her as a good outlet for him to talk to.  Whats nice about this movie, is that Adam Sandler doesn’t play the typical role his fans are used to.  He is much more serious and depressed in this movie, so if you’re a fan of Adam Sandler you definitely need to check this one out.  If you’re interested in the movie, check out this trailer.
