The verdict

Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Seth Rogen got his start on Freaks and Geeks and has spent two decades making comedies that are broadly American in setting and entirely Canadian in sensibility — warm, self-deprecating, and occasionally involving a lot of smoke. Still very much from Vancouver. Still a beauty.
