Who is Michael Cera (Canadian Actor)
Ranked #5,121 in Entertainment, #63,591 overall
Meet Michael Cera, poster boy of geek chic.
You know Michael Austin Cera for his geeky roles in Arrested Development, Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist but did you know that there is much to learn about this Canadian Actor?
The adorkable baby-faced actor first got interested in acting after viewing Ghostbusters again and again, memorizing all the dialogue. He has since appeared in numerous films, even receiving two Canadian Comedy Award Best Actor nominations in 2008 for his remarkable work with Ellen Page in Juno, and his endearing acting in Superbad. He won for Superbad but both movies eventually positioned him as one of Hollywood's most promising next generation comedians.
In 2010, he won a Satellite Award for Best Actor for his work in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. He is also currently the bassist for indie rock superband Mister Heavenly.

Impossible is the Opposite of Possible
Michael Cera's video resume
Impossible is the Opposite of Possible is a video resume Michael made for McSweeney's Presents: The World, Explained (a benefit for 826LA). Directed by Nicholas Jasenovec. This video is a full on parody of Aleksey Vayner's "Impossible is Nothing." (For those unfamiliar, Aleksey is an investment banker who created a "video resume" that highlighted his philosophies on his unbridled success.) Very funny. Watch it.

- Funny stuff! I first encountered Michael Cera on Arrested Development. The other project that I really enjoyed was Scott Pilgrim. It's a bonus that he's also Canadian! Lots of great comics coming out of this country.

- I loved him on Arrested Development when he was an awkward middle school kid and he's carried himself well from TV to film. Such a cute geeky nerd. Ah, this makes me miss Arrested Development, off to Hulu to see if they have any episodes still.
