Seth Rogen is an American Actor, comedian writer and film producer. He was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia. His mother Sandy is a social worker and his father Mark Rogen works for non-profit organizations and as an assistant director of a Workmens Circle. Seth has one older sister, Danya, who is a social worker too. 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 comedy he performed at Camp Miriam, a Habonim Dror camp. Rogen got his start in show business at age 13, after signing up for a comedy class. At the age of 14, with his friend Evan Goldberg, he co-wrote Superbad, reflecting pieces from their childhood. With his trademark deadpan humour, he placed second in the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Contest at 16 years old, then headed south of the border to continue stand-up and acting.
While still living in his native Canada, he landed a supporting role in Freaks and Geeks. After he moved to Los Angeles for the role, Freaks and Geeks was canceled after one season. He then got a part on the equally short-lived Undeclared, which also hired him as a staff writer. After landing a job as a staff writer on the final season of Da Ali G Show, for which Rogen and the other writers received an Emmy nomination, he was guided by director Judd Apatow toward a film career. Rogen was cast in a major supporting role and credited as a co-producer in Apatows directorial debut, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. After receiving critical praise for that performance, Universal Pictures agreed to cast him as the lead in Apatows next directorial feature, Knocked Up.
Rogen has appeared in the films Donnie Darko, You, Me and Dupree, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Fanboys, and Observe and Report, as well in the Apatow-produced comedies The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, Step Brothers, Pineapple Express, and Funny People. He also co-wrote and starred in Superbad, a semi-autobiographical comedy he originally intended to headline years ago, co-written by Rogen and Evan Goldberg. He also co-wrote the screenplay for another comedy that Apatow helped co-produce, Owen Wilsons Drillbit Taylor. He has also provided voice talents in the family-oriented films Shrek the Third, The Spiderwick Chronicles, Horton Hears a Who!, Kung Fu Panda, and Monsters vs. Aliens.
Rogen still resides in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Lauren Miller. He continues to write and produce with longtime writing partner Evan Goldberg, with whom he has worked on Da Ali G Show, Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, and Superbad, the last of which is a semi-autobiographical take on their longtime friendship. He is also a naturalized citizen of Canada. He is a big Simpsons fan and has always wanted to work with Matt Groening on a movie. Rogen has claimed his five favorite films to be The Big Lebowski, Ghostbusters, The Last Detail, Total Recall and Goodfellas.
