In the short time since he debuted his penchant for dramatic comedy with the one-scene plays he wrote and performed at the gritty Black & White bar in New York City, JONAH HILL has already worked alongside many of the most sought-after actors, directors and producers in Hollywood. His first feature film was I Heart Huckabees, with Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin for director David O. Russell. He then secured a small role in Judd Apatow’s summer comedy hit The 40-Year-Old Virgin, with Steve Carell; and after a meeting with Adam Sandler, a small part for him was written into the feature Click. Last year, Hill was seen opposite Justin Long in the teen comedy Accepted.
This summer will be quite busy for Hill, with three big comedies being released. Three weeks after Knocked Up, Hill will be seen in Evan Almighty, the follow-up to Bruce Almighty, with Steve Carell reviving his famed Evan Baxter as a newly appointed congressman in Washington, D.C. Hill plays Eugene, one of Baxter’s aides, alongside Wanda Sykes and John Michael Higgins. Finally, teaming again with Apatow, Hill—in his first leading-man role—will star in Superbad. Premiering in August and co-starring Michael Cera and Bill Hader, the story centers on two high school students (Hill and Cera) as they attempt to get alcohol for their last high school party in hopes of attracting women. Their separation anxiety takes center stage, however, as during the hijinks of the evening the boys realize this is their last adventure together before they go to separate colleges. Next up for Hill is the comedy The Middle Child, which he both wrote and will star in for Apatow Productions.
Loosely based on his own childhood, of having a sister born when he was a teenager, the film is set for a 2008 release. Hill also appears in two independent projects. In the first, Strange Wilderness, he co-stars with Steve Zahn, Justin Long and Ashley Scott. One Part Sugar stars Hill as a confused teenager who turns to a life of buying and selling drugs when he finds out the man who raised him (Dylan Walsh) is not his biological father. Previously, Hill was seen in the independent feature 10 Items or Less, starring Morgan Freeman, for director Brad Silberling. He was also in Grandma’s Boy for 20th Century Fox and Happy Madison Productions, and he had a recurring role in the improvisational television series Campus Ladies, a comedy from executive producer Cheryl Hines and the co-executive producers of Reno 911! Hill currently resides in Los Angeles.
