  • Career

    Jonah Hill's acting career has been characterized mostly with memorable comedic supporting roles such as the eBay customer in The 40 Year Old Virgin, Jonah in Knocked Up, and the waiter in Forgetting Sarah Marshall (not coincidentally, all films connected to director/producer Judd Apatow). However, one of his biggest successes was a starring role: as foul-mouthed high school senior Seth in the raunchy 2007 comedy Superbad, in which he shared the screen with the likes of Michael Cera, Seth Rogen and Bill Hader. Hill rode the wave of success from Superbad and seemed to carve out his place in the Apatow comedy era, continuing his trend of primarily supporting roles as he breathed new life into his film career.
