Mini-bio: Canadian-born actor Seth Rogen tapped into his skills as a comedian when he was only 13, signing up for comedy classes and honing his deadpan style. He tooled around as an amateur for a few years but ... read moreeventually took his act down south, hoping to find success as an actor and standup comedian in the U.S. He was soon discovered by Judd Apatow and was cast in his short-lived series Freaks and Geeks. After its cancellation, Apatow cast Rogen in his next series, Undeclared -- for which Rogen significantly contributed as a writer. Undeclared met the same fate as Freaks and Geeks and was canceled mid-season, but both series became surprisingly hot cult hits upon their DVD releases. Rogen went on to write for Da Ali G Show and take minor roles in Donnie Darko and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy before being tapped by Apatow once again for a new project, this time on the big screen. The film was 2005's The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and Rogen's role as Steve Carell's well-meaning friend Cal finally brought him the large-scale success that made his comic skills a valuable commodity. Rogen also acted as co-producer on the film, which was touted as the funniest movie in years by critics and audiences alike, eventually grossing well over a hundred million dollars. There was obviously good chemistry on the set of The 40 Year Old Virgin, so Rogen signed on to appear in Apatow's 2007 comedy Knocked Up. Appearing alongside his old cast mates Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, Rogen starred as a man who is forced to deal with serious unforeseen consequences when his one-night stand becomes pregnant. After the filmmakers' initial plans to cast Anne Hathaway in the opposite role fell through, Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl signed on to star as the female lead. ~ Cammila Albertson, Rovi

Seth RogenSeth Rogen mini-bio: Seth Rogen was raised in Vancouver. He eventually made his way to Los Angeles, where his work caught the attention of Judd Apatow, who cast Rogen in his short-lived but beloved NBC show Freaks And Geeks and his short-lived but beloved Fox sitcom Undeclared. Though Rogen has had a few other television adventures, including an appearance on Dawson's Creek and a job writing for Da Ali G Show in its second season, his career has remained tethered to Apatow's, and the two have been on a hot streak lately. After a standout supporting turn in the surprise hit The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Rogen steps into the lead for the first time in Apatow's Knocked Up, a similarly raunchy, disarmingly sweet-natured comedy about the terrifying prospect of parenthood. Rogen recently spoke to The A.V. Club.
