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 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 that performance, Universal Pictures agreed to cast him as the lead in Apatow's next directorial feature, Knocked Up. Rogen has appeared in the films Donnie Darko, You, Me and Dupree, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Observe and Report, and The Green Hornet, and also in the Apatow-produced comedies Anchorman, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, Pineapple Express, and Funny People. He co-wrote the comedy film Superbad, for which he originally intended to headline years ago, with his comedy partner Evan Goldberg, and co-developed the story and screenplay for Pineapple Express. He also co-wrote the screenplay for another comedy film that Apatow helped co-produce, Drillbit Taylor. Rogen has provided voice talents in the animated films Horton Hears a Who!, Kung Fu Panda, and Monsters vs. Aliens. He also supports Crowdrise; a charitable networking site. |
