Jonathan Adam Saunders "Jay" Baruchel (born April 9, 1982) is a Canadian actor and comedian. He played Josh Greenberg in the FXX comedy television series Man Seeking Woman, and played the lead character in Judd Apatow's comedy series, Undeclared. He appeared in supporting roles in box office successes, including Million Dollar Baby, Knocked Up and Tropic Thunder, and starred in the films She's Out of My League, The Trotsky, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, This Is the End, How to Train Your Dragon and its sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2.

Early life[edit]

Baruchel was born in Ottawa, Ontario,[1][2][3] the son of Robyne (née Ropell), a freelance writer, and Serge Baruchel, an antiques dealer.[4][5] He grew up in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec,[6]and has a younger sister, Taylor.[7] His paternal grandfather was a Sephardic Jew, while his three other grandparents were from a Christian background (of French, Irish, and German descent).[8][9] Baruchel has said that he is "probably agnostic".[10][11]

Career[edit]

One of his first major acting roles was on local television series My Hometown in 1996. From 1997 to 1998, he co-hosted Popular Mechanics for Kids with Elisha Cuthbert. After appearing briefly in Cameron Crowe's Oscar-winning Almost Famous, Baruchel won the role of Steven Karp on Judd Apatow's acclaimed yet short-lived television series Undeclared, where he starred alongside Seth Rogen, Carla Gallo, Charlie Hunnam and Monica Keena. He then appeared with James Van Der Beek in Roger Avary's The Rules of Attraction.
In 2004, Baruchel played boxing hopeful Danger Barch in Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby. Baruchel then starred in Nemesis Game and Fetching Cody, before appearing opposite Don Johnson on the WB's Just Legal in 2005, and guest-starring on the CBS dramaNumb3rs in 2006.
Baruchel appeared in the films Knocked Up (which reunited him with Judd Apatow, Jason Segel, and Seth Rogen), I'm Reed Fish, Just Buried, and the Ben Stiller-directed Tropic Thunder, alongside Jack Black, Nick Nolte, Steve Coogan and Robert Downey, Jr. He co-starred with Seth Rogen in the 2007 trailer for Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse, created by Rogen and Evan Goldberg as a strategy to garner interest and funding for a similar, larger-scale project (later made in 2013 as This Is the End). In 2008, he appeared in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. He also made a brief appearance in Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian.
In 2010, Baruchel starred in the films The Trotsky, DreamWorks' She's Out of My League (opposite Alice Eve),[12] and the live-action Disney adaptation of The Sorcerer's Apprentice. He also voiced the starring role in the acclaimed animated feature, How to Train Your Dragon, a role he has subsequently continued throughout the franchise, including its television series. Also in 2010, he played two supporting characters in the Canadian comedy series The Drunk and On Drugs Happy Fun Time Hour.[13] He developed the screenplay forGoon, with Evan Goldberg, playing Johnny Klutz, a character of his own creation.[14] Goon co-stars Seann William Scott and fellow Canadian actor, Eugene Levy.[15] Baruchel will also star in and direct the comedy/horror/slasher film Pig.[16]
Baruchel also appeared in the 2010 Adidas Originals ad campaign, "Cantina", in conjunction with the FIFA World Cup and in video clips for Canadian prog-rockers Rush's 2012–13 Clockwork Angels tour.
In July 2012, he appeared in the music video for the song "Toxsik Waltz" by rapper Necro. In the summer of 2013, he starred in the hit apocalyptic comedy This Is the End and in 2014, he appeared in the RoboCop remake and reprised his role as Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon 2.
Baruchel is in the process of writing the sequel to Goon.[17][18]
In July 2014, it was announced that Baruchel will be starring in the FXX comedy Man Seeking Woman which premiered in January 2015.[19]

Personal life[edit]

Baruchel was previously engaged to actress Alison Pill from 2011 to 2013. He alluded to their break-up in a Twitter posting on February 16, 2013.[20]
Baruchel has several tattoos: a Celtic cross (on his upper right arm) to honour his Irish heritage,[21] his mother's maiden name (on his forearm) and a red Maple Leaf on his left pectoral (which can be seen in Fanboys, Knocked Up, Tropic Thunder and This Is the End).[22]
Baruchel is also an avid fan of Celtic F.C. and the Montreal Canadiens.[23][24] He appeared in the 2015 music video for the song "Every Little Means Trust" by Idlewild.[25]
