Seth Rogen

Rogen was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, the son of Sandy, a social worker, and Mark Rogen, who works for non-profit organizations and as an assistant director of a Workmen's Circle. Rogen has described his parents, who met at an Israeli kibbutz, as "radical Jewish socialists". Rogen attended a Talmud Torah school, as well as Camp Miriam, a Habonim Dror camp where he would perform stand-up comedy for fellow campers. Rogen got his start in show business at age 13 after signing up for a comedy class. With his trademark deadpan humour, he placed second in the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Contest at sixteen, then headed south of the border to continue stand-up and acting.

Rogen moved to Los Angeles at the age of 16, after Apatow discovered him in Vancouver. During his late teens, Rogen's parents moved from Canada with him, but by the time he landed his second television series, his parents would live in both Canada and the United States. Rogen still resides in Los Angeles. He continues to write and produce with longtime writing partner, Evan Goldberg, with whom he has worked on Da Ali G Show, Knocked Up, and Superbad, the latter of which is a semi-autobiographical take on their longtime friendship. Rogen and Lauren Miller attended the film premieres of The 40 Year-Old Virgin, You, Me and Dupree and Knocked Up. One of his most loved films is Army of Darkness.
