Are you a Superbad fan? Or maybe you loved the Emmy-winning miniseries Pam & Tommy? Whether you love Seth Rogen for his comedic or dramatic roles, check out our guide below to discover the actor’s 15 best movies and series – and where to stream them.
For many years, Seth Rogen was best known for his starring roles in Judd Apatow comedies like Knocked Up and Pineapple Express. But the two’s working relationship actually goes back to Rogen’s very first major role – the cult favorite series Freaks and Geeks, which ranks #5 on our list. The show followed two siblings in high school and their respective groups of friends. Thanks to great characters and tons of relatability, the show developed a loyal fanbase that has only grown larger throughout the years.
And while Rogen may still be known by many fans for his stoner comedies, he’s also starred in a wide variety of unique movies with captivating stories, like the #2 movie on the list, 2017’s The Disaster Artist. Based on the memoir of the same name by Greg Sestero, the movie told the true story of the tumultuous (and hilarious) production of the infamous cult film, The Room. In the movie, Rogen plays the film’s script supervisor…who is the only person on set who actually knows how to make a movie.
Another Rogen film that perfectly blends humor with a gripping story is the #1 movie on the list, 50/50. In the film, Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt play best friends whose lives are turned upside down when Gordon-Levitt’s character gets diagnosed with cancer. The movie had moments that were hilarious and others that were heartbreaking, proving that Rogen could do more than just raucous stoner comedies.
Since then, he’s continued taking on a wide range of interesting roles in comedies and dramas. He played Steve Wozniak in the Oscar-nominated biopic Steve Jobs, voiced Donkey Kong in The Super Mario Bros. Movie (which became one of 2023’s highest-grossing films), and Rogen even earned himself an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination for his role in Pam & Tommy, which centered on the relationship between Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee.
