Through nearly two decades of American comedies, Seth Rogen has been a defining personality, and the best Seth Rogen movies have become classics. Beginning with a stand-up career in Vancouver, Rogen relocated to Los Angeles at the age of 17 to take a role on Judd Apatow's Freaks and Geeks. Long-loved but short-running, the show was canceled after one season, but in its wake, it left a partnership that would stand the test of time. That partnership fully took root with 2005's The 40-Year-Old Virgin, beginning a miracle run of hit comedies that embraced Seth Rogen as a leading man, from Knocked Up to Pineapple Express.
