Early Life
Rogen was born in Vancouver, British Columbia on April 15, 1982. He is the child of Mark Rogen and Sandy Belogus. His father used to work for non-profit organizations and as an assistant director of the Workmen’s Circle Jewish fraternal organization and his mother is a social worker.
He said about his dual citizenship that “I definitely associate with being Canadian much more than being American” as he was raised in Canada.
He has explained that his parents met on kibbutz Beit Alfa in Israel, as “radical Jewish socialists”. Rogen also has an elder sister, Danya. He went to attend Vancouver Talmud Torah Elementary School and Point Grey Secondary School, involving several classmates in his writing, and pursued Kyokushin karate for a period of 10 years.
In addition, he was popular for the stand-up comedy he performed at Camp Miriam, a Habonim Dror camp.
During his childhood, he wanted to pursue a career in comedy only, stating, “As soon as I realized you could be funny as a job, that was the job I wanted.” At the age of 12, started off in show business following his enrollment in a comedy workshop taught by Mark Pooley.
His early comedy routines engaged jokes regarding his bar mitzvah, his grandparents, and his camp counselors. When he was young, he used to perform stand-up comedy routines at venues such as bar mitzvahs and small parties, then moved to bars.
When he was 13, Rogen co-wrote a rough draft of Superbad beside his childhood friend Evan Goldberg. On the basis of his teenage experiences, Rogen and Goldberg spent the remaining time in high school improving the script.
Initially, they were concerned that 1999’s American Pie had defeated them to the concept for the film, but they took the decision that the film “‘managed to totally avoid all honest interaction between characters,’ which is what we’re going for.”
When he was 16, with his deadpan comedy, he ranked second in the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Contest at 16 years old. His father lost his job when he was just 16 and his mother also left hers and that forced them to enlist their house up for sale and move to a remarkably smaller apartment.
During this time, he got a role on Judd Apatow’s television show Freaks and Geeks after he attended a local casting call. He left his high school and started working for Apatow, and moved to Los Angeles with his family. He became the main earner only at the age of 16.
Personal Life
In 2004, he started dating writer/actress Lauren Miller. The couple met when he was working on the television series titled Da Ali G Show and in 2010, they got engaged. On October 2, 2011, they got married in Sonoma County, California. Miller had some minor on-screen roles in a number of his films. They have said they have no plans to have kids.
He has launched a cannabis brand in the city of Toronto, Ontario, in collaboration with his friend Evan Goldberg. In 2017, after attending pottery classes with his wife, he started making ceramics. He refers to artist Kenneth Price as an idol.
In early 2021, he confirmed via Twitter that he has mild Tourette syndrome, which runs in his family.
Career
Judd Apatow kept complete faith in Rogen, in fact, he was at that time still very young. However, Freaks and Geeks just premiered for its first season, it was sufficient for the young actor to flex his remarkable offhand skills., Apatow was impressed and attempted to make another show with Rogen portraying the lead.
Sadly, the network could not see any potential in Rogen and subsequently, the show never rolled out. That being said, Rogen had his first opportunity to act as a staff writer for the show that never premiered.
As Rogen had presumed, he didn’t receive calls for a lot of auditions in the massively competitive acting province of Los Angeles. Although, he wasn’t demotivated since he was confident that he could rely on his writing skills to establish his name in the entertainment industry.
This was made even easier for him due to his early alliance with Judd Apatow, who pushed him into his so-called “frat-pack” beside Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd. With these older comics, Rogen assisted in writing scripts of all types that were inspired by Apatow’s impromptu ideas.
Though he was paying attention to writing during that time, he still managed to find time to feature in films such as Donnie Darko and Anchorman. His turning point in his writing career emerged when he worked as a staff writer for Da Ali G Show.
He rose to fame after the release of the 2005 film titled The 40-Year-Old Virgin, where he portrayed one of the lead character’s best friends. It had been years since Rogen had landed any acting roles. In spite of this, he enhanced all of his dialogue and was critically acclaimed for his performance.
In 2007, his true breakthrough emerged after he landed on the cast of Knocked Up in which he played a leading man for the first time. The movie gained immense success and grossed $219 million against a budget of $30 million.
Above all for him, the movie’s success marked that he could have a major motion picture. He then followed up this breakthrough with many voice acting roles, most remarkably in Kung-Fu Panda. The movie performed outstandingly and grossed over $630 million.
He then featured in the film titled Superbad where he portrayed a police officer; that was such a film that he had started writing years initially when he was a teenager. Another leading role he landed was in the stoner-comedy titled Pineapple Express.
That film was also successful, grossing more than $101 million in ticket sales against a small $27 million budget. He then appeared in the leading role in the film titled Zack and Miri Make a Porno but couldn’t perform well at the box office.
This became a trend for him, with the movies such as Observe and Report and Funny People that just performed less admirably at the box office and this downward graph was somewhat bolstered with the kick-off of The Green Hornet. Though the film was successful, critics nearly universally panned it.
In the next few years, Rogen appeared in supporting roles, notably in movies like This Is the End, Paul, and Neighbors. Later, Rogen appeared in 2014 The Interview and yet again landed a lead role. He served as the co-writer and co-director of the film.
In 2016, he made history with the release of Sausage Party, which was the most successful R-rated film of all time. Apart from voicing a lead character, he also served as the co-writer and producer of the anime film.
In 2019, he lent his voice to a character with the revival of The Lion King, and he portrayed Pumbaa. The film received mixed reviews but continued to become one of the highest-grossing films of all time.
