Stop me once you figured out the connection: “Freaks and Geeks” … “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” … “Knocked Up” … “Superbad” … “Pineapple Express” … “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” … ok, ok I think you figured out the connection is Seth Rogen.
Rogen is appearing left and right in some of the most hilarious comedies to emerge in the past four years. It is almost a given that if Seth Rogen plays a role, then the movie is sure to keep you entertained. His humor comes to life in the geeky, everyday man situations and absurdities his characters find themselves experiencing. The audience can relate, but at the same time, not feel ashamed or foolish.
Seth Rogen is one of “us,” the common man. And he may have started off on a teen drama with a better following after it was syndicated, but now he is an A-lister working with some of the leading actors in comedy. His new movie, “Funny People” (2009) released this weekend, and is sitting comfortably at the number one spot in the box office. Rogen stars alongside veteran Adam Sandler, and new-comers Jonah Hill (“Superbad”) and Jason Schwartzman (“I Heart Huckabees”).
Rogen is also involved with “The Green Hornet” film, expected to release in 2010. He is a contributing writer for the screenplay, and he is set to play Britt Reid aka The Green Hornet. Nicolas Cage and Cameron Diaz are also signed on to the project.
Look out for more details on “The Green Hornet” as the release date gets closer. Until then, check out some of Seth Rogen’s other movies including “Funny People.”
