Evan Goldberg and his long-time friend and writing partner, Seth Rogen, grew up in Vancouver, frequently watching films being shot at their high school. They started writing Superbad at 13, and always believed that what they had seen happening during filming at their high school was possible for them.

In 2011, Evan and Seth founded Point Grey Pictures, the production company behind such movies as “Blockers”, “The Disaster Artist”, “The Interview”, “Neighbors” and “The Night Before”. Point Grey is also the company behind the R-rated animated feature “Sausage Party”. Their dark superhero comic book-based series, “The Boys”, is in production and a Wall Street comedy series, Black Monday, is also in development.

In front of the camera, Rogen’s credits include “Steve Jobs”, “Neighbors”, “Knocked Up”, “The Disaster Artist”, “The Interview” “50/50” and the recently completed “Like Father”.

Interesting Facts

After learning that The Simpsons executive producer James L. Brooks was a fan of Superbad, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen asked the show’s producers if they could write an episode. They were invited to The Simpsons writers room, where they pitched several episode ideas. One was accepted, and became the episode “Homer the Whopper”, which was the season premiere of season twenty-one.

Seth Rogen’s early comedy routines involved jokes about his bar mitzvah, his grandparents, and his camp counsellors. During his teenage years, he would perform stand-up comedy routines at places like bar mitzvahs and small parties.

As a child, Rogen did not want to pursue any career other than comedy: “As soon as I realized you could be funny as a job, that was the job I wanted”.
