SETH ROGAN


Seth Rogan, born April 15, 1982
Rogen began his career by doing stand up comedy during his teen years, and winning the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Contest in 1998 and while living in Vancouver, Seth landed a small part in Freaks and Geeks and shortly after he moved out to Los Angeles. Unfortunately Freaks and Geeks was cancled after one season due to poor ratings but then he got a part on the Undeclared who also hired him as a staff writer. After recieving Emmy nomination for being a staff writer on the final season of Da Ali G Show he was guided by film producer Judd Apatow toward a film career. Rogen was cast in a major supporting role and credited as a co-producer in Apatow's directorial debut, The 40 Year Old Virgin. After receiving critical praise for his performance, Universal Pictures gave him his big break. They agreed to cast him as Apatow's lead in Knocked Up and Funny People! Rogen and his comedy partner Evan Goldberg also co-wrote the films Superbad, Pinapple Express, and The Green Hornet.
Getting a little more personal, Seth began dating his now wife, Lauren Miller in 2004 after they met while he was working on the Da Ali G Show and got engaged in September 2010. Although no one in his family has it, Rogan has spoken out about the awareness of Alzheimers disease because it runs on his wife's side of the family, and he said "I think until you see it firsthand, it's kind of hard to conceive of how brutal it is, until I saw it, you just don't get how heartbreaking it can be."
