Seth Rogen: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked
3. Cal - The 40 Year-Old Virgin
The 40-Year-Old Virgin was the biggest sleeper hit of 2005 and it introduced to the film world the one... Seth Rogen, who up until 2005 had been mostly a TV actor with the very odd and very small supporting big screen roles.
Here, Seth plays Cal, a co-worker of Steve Carrel's title character at an electronics store. The best thing about Seths character was the equal mix of normalcy and insanity. One minute, he would be boosting the self-esteem of Steve Carells character; the next, hed be talking about imagining women as plants...and then f**king the plants. He thinks waxing is a bit too much for men, and yet, talks about going to donkey shows. It's an intriguing mix and the ways Seth performs in this movie, you believe it all. Hes intense, hes funny and he steals every scene that hes in.
