Jay Baruchel: In The Spotlight

Born Jonathan Adam Sanders "Jay" Baruchel in Ottawa, Ontario (1982), and the son of a Jewish father and Roman Catholic mother, this Canadian always wanted to be an actor. Since childhood, he loved scary movies and dreamed of starring in one, so his mother (being the good mother she is) signed him up for acting classes. From there, Jay's journey to stardom would begin. With his humble beginnings as part of the 1990 TV show Are You Afraid Of The Dark? and starring alongside fellow Canadian Elisha Cuthbert in Popular Mechanics For Kids, the actor has certainly come a long way. Jay made his Hollywood debut with a small part in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous, later followed by a role in Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby. Since then, he has gradually begun to star in multiple movies including, Knocked Up, Fanboys, Tropic Thunder, The Trotsky, She's Out Of My League, and most recently, the animated film How To Train Your Dragon. For Jay, there are nothing but good times ahead; he is already tied to a number of productions, including Jerry Bruckheimer's The Sorcerers Apprentice. While the actor's roles usually pin him as a nerdy, smart, and insecure character, in his upcoming film Notre Dame de Grace (currently being filmed in Montreal), Baruchel will play a more serious role in the crime film. The 28-year-old actor is rapidly climbing his way up to A-list status, and I look forward to seeing his repertoire of roles.
