Cracked on Michael Cera
Michael Cera was born on June 7, 1988. He is best known for his role in the great Arrested Development. Hollywood, apparently taking a break from having terrible taste in everything, apparently saw Arrested Development, and has made him play the exact same role in everything they've put him in since. Almost every single one of his characters is some awkward, post-pubescent youngster who inevitably falls in love with a cool, hot, quirky girl.
Cera has received several awards for his work, including a 2008 Canadian Comedy Award for Best Actor for his work in Superbad, which was actually pretty good.
Analyzing Michael Cera Movie Characters
Superbad - Played an awkward high schooler who falls in love with a hot girl.
Juno - Played an awkward high schooler who got a hot, quirky girl pregnant.
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist - Played an awkward high schooler who got his heart broken but falls in love with another totally hot girl.
Year One - Played an awkward teenage caveman who falls in love with a hot cavegirl.
You can probably see a pattern forming here....
The Face Behind the Man Behind the Acting
Michael Cera's career has been helped and hindered by his baby face and luxurious, wavy, cotton-candy hair. We at Cracked have provided a quick reference chart, should you ever find yourself staring at the face of a wild Michael Cera.
you forgot Scott Pilgrim. where Cera plays a awkward "young adult" (already out of high school) who trys to get with a really quirky girl but has to fight her evil ex's. In the end, gets her and they kiss.
ReplyGods... the words Cera and sex should never be uttered on the same page again. Oh, FUCK.
ReplyI dated a guy who looks just like him. The face chart was spot on for both. I was cracking up
ReplyPaper Heart?
ReplyIT'S MY BOYFRIEND, EXCEPT OLDER AND AN ACTOR! :O
ReplyLet us not forget Scott Pilgrim, where he awkwardly wooed the girl of his dreams whilst fighting off her seven evil exes and trying to get rid of an underage Chinese girl.
ReplySure he has about as much range as Keanu Reeves, but he's infinitely more loveable and entertaining.
ReplyAnd gets roles in funnier movies...
He will never beat Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
he wasn't in adventureland
Reply Hide All See All 3 Repliesbut easily could have been
That wasn't him?!? What?!?
That was Jesse Eisenberg.
He is nearly as awkward but not as baby faced.
He actually looks kind of like a caveman... but Jesse was also in Zombieland.
All of these guys look the same. There's like 5 of them playing the same retarded awkward roles.
dont forget adventureland... absolutely , positively disgusting
ReplyLOL racist. You think these guys all look the same? Sigh.

ReplyI can't help but think that every movie he has ever been in could be improved if he were to be removed from it. God I hate this guy.
ReplyI don't have a problem with him, but he's already been around for at least two too many movies (and probably ten more).
Replygreat script chart. its right on the money.
ReplyI've never really liked him, and I especially don't like Arrested Development. However, I do like most of the movies he's in, but not for him.
ReplyI honestly believe he was born with a vagina. Close your eyes
Replywhile listening to him talk, you'll swear it's a woman.
Plenty of comedic actors basically always (or almost always) play the same character. John Belushi was always a dangerously insane/drunk maniac breaking everything around him. Dan Akroyd was almost always a nerd/scientist/engineer (and occasionally a conehead) with a penchant for rapidly spewing off incomprehensible technobabble. Jack Black is a stoner/rock star wannabe. Woody Allen is a self conscious, self absorbed Jewish New York intellectual who inexplicably manages to get romantically involved with women far more attractive (and younger) than him. Does this make them any less funny? No. All fiction is full of archetypes. Humor and drama arise from the situations these archetypal characters are placed in, and their reactions to those situations and the other characters around them. Every actor has their strengths, and they play to them. I'm fine with that.
Reply Hide All See All 3 Repliesthey never said it sucked, it's just funny that you can break anything down into a formula. I mean, look at Jim Carrey. he got obviously typecasted, and occasionally comes out with, you know, different kinds of movies, like the truman show or the majestic, which i found enjoyable yet unlikely, and they are immediately hated by almost everybody and are criticly panned. remember "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind?" depressing movie, good acting. not my cup of tea
there's a difference between playing a certain type of character and being the same person in every movie to the point that it's not even really acting anymore.
Belushi did Neighbors and Continental Divide, both sane men (at least for the most part) in interesting situations. Earl Keese in Neighbors may have been his best performance. Adam Sandler has been branching out into different, less annoying parts. Maybe this boy will too, someday.
Honestly, I've loved him since Arrested Development (I was like what, 12? xD) and he's always been awkward, he should act something else, but I guess deep down he's just a reaaaally awkward boy. Whatever he's awesome ;)
ReplyI admit it. I had a crush on him. but I had a bad experience with an ill-shaped caucasian male once so... Yeah he needs to stop playing that same damn role. It's like looking at a WOW player on screen eternally.
ReplyI hate micheal cera he is such a bore and an annoyance to listen to. I truly hate his dorkish dumb ways.
