It’s extraordinary just how prolific Seth Rogen has been.

He began performing stand-up comedy at clubs around his native Vancouver at the age of 13 — around the time him and his buddy Evan Goldberg would write the first draft of “Superbad” — before featuring in the Judd Apatow shows “Freaks and Geeks” and “Undeclared,” also serving as a writer on the latter, all before the age of 20. Since then, he’s starred in over 40 movies, written 10 and directed two, while creating four TV series. Along with the aforementioned comedy classic “Superbad,” he’s the man behind “Pineapple Express,” “This Is the End” and “The Studio,” while acting in everything from “Donnie Darko” and “Knocked Up” to “Steve Jobs” and “The Invite.”
