He's asked about his roles, and he goes on about how brilliant his co-stars and directors are. Says a lot about the kind of guy he is.
-
Cera talking about the depression he had when the filming for "Scott Pilgrim" ended was so real
-
This guy has RANGE. Lotta people will say he’s one note but cmon. He’s great at being comedic, doing action, being weird, and seriousness.
-
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is one of my all time favorite movies and Cera really brings so much life and character to the movie. He's brilliant, hilarious, and perfect as Scott. Really enjoyed hearing his articulation and description of all his roles, the environment, and the people he's worked with! One of the best actors imo.
-
Definitely says something that just about every movie he's been in is considered a cult classic. His impact is undeniable.
-
Very happy that he is voicing Scott Pilgrim again in the new animated series!
-
he seems like such a well-rounded, well-spoken, fascinating human being. what a shame that he is so often typecast as weird, bumbling or incapable. he seems to have a clear understanding of what each director wants, but isn’t being given many chances outside of his established archetypes. I bet he can do a lot more!
-
When he talks about the sorta indie small movie genre that was happening in the 2000's when he made Nick and Nora has a special place in my life. I loved going to all those types of movies back then.
-
his point about smaller-scale movies no longer being funded by studios is so real. like he said, unless it’s guaranteed success (so a superhero movie or live action remake or sequel) there’s very rarely a budget anymore. which is so unfortunate and ultimately really hurting the film industry.
-
Crazy how much this dude dominated the late 2000s teen movie scene. He’s in so many of my favourite movies
-
He's so charming and well-spoken. Superbad almost being 20 is absolutely insane..
-
Nick and Norah is one of my favorites. It makes me feel nostalgia for something I’ve never been through? Those “indie” feeling movies are a lost art form and I hope we get them back one day.
-
I have no idea how anyone on Arrested Development ever kept a straight face in scenes with David Cross. Tobias is one of the most absurd characters ever 😂😂😂
-
I haven't seen him lately, I was happy to see him in Barbie and it was a perfect role for him.
-
We are forgetting an underrated gem: Youth in Revolt
-
Can't believe there was no mention of Youth in Revolt. He played 2 characters and both were incredible.
-
It's kind of insane how Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has become a blueprint for teenagers for their overall behaviour/fashion sense/world perspective in the last 7 years when the movie was slept on when it was initially released.
-
Micheal Cera has always looked like 19 to me and its crazy. One of my favorite actors and its funny to hear his voice be a little bit deeper than i've grown so use to
-
I love when I think about a random celebrity and I wonder "hey where'd this person go?" Then I search them up and find out they're still relevant. It honestly gets me a little ecstatic that these people are still being appreciated.
-
Nothing will top his appearance in Twin Peaks. He fit so perfectly in that world.
