Seth Rogen is a Canadian actor, comedian, screenwriter, and producer who has established himself in Hollywood since the early 2000s. He first gained attention through the series “Freaks and Geeks,” which helped him break into the film world. He made his international breakthrough in 2005 with the comedy “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” (2005, directed by Judd Apatow). Just two years later, he took on the lead role in “Knocked Up” (2007, directed by Judd Apatow), which finally established him as one of the defining comedy actors of his generation.
A particular example of his versatility is TAKE THIS WALTZ, directed by Sarah Polley in 2011. In this drama, he starred alongside Michelle Williams and showed that he can also hold his own outside the comedy genre. Previously, he had appeared in films such as Superbad (2007, directed by Greg Mottola) and Pineapple Express (2008, directed by David Gordon Green), which have long enjoyed cult status. Other important projects include “50/50” (2011, directed by Jonathan Levine), in which he took on a tragicomic role, and “Steve Jobs” (2015, directed by Danny Boyle), in which he gave a convincing performance as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. He also played an important supporting role in Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans (2022).
In addition to his film roles, Rogen has been heavily involved in television series. As a producer and writer, he has been involved in formats such as Preacher, The Boys, and Invincible. These projects expanded his profile beyond acting and demonstrated his importance as a creative force in television.
Rogen has received several nominations for his achievements, including Golden Globe and Emmy nominations, and has won a Screen Actors Guild Award. This makes him one of the most successful Canadian artists in Hollywood, who has left a lasting mark in both comedy and drama.
