\u201cMy career is not one steeped with awards attention,\u201d notes Seth Rogen<\/strong>, chuckling in his inimitable way, on the latest episode of The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>\u2019s Awards Chatter<\/em> podcast. \u201cI\u2019ve accepted that, and that\u2019s become fine with me. So it is nice and sort of novel that, after working for this long, something new and exciting can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n The Canadian actor, writer, producer and director is referring to the TV Academy\u2019s tremendous embrace of the The Studio<\/em>, the Apple TV+ comedy series about a present-day Hollywood studio chief that he co-created, co-wrote, co-directed and stars in. Last month, the show received 23 Emmy nominations<\/a> \u2014 breaking Ted Lasso<\/em>\u2019s record for most noms for a rookie comedy and tying the second season of The Bear<\/em>\u2019s record for most noms for any season of a comedy \u2014\u00a0including acting, writing, producing and directing noms for Rogen himself. He emphasizes, \u201cWe\u2019re very thrilled about it.\u201d<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Rogen, 43, has been described by The Washington Post<\/em> as \u201ca generational comedic voice,\u201d by The Guardian<\/em> as \u201cthe most successful comic leading man of his generation\u201d and by The<\/em> New York Times<\/em> as someone whose \u201cfingerprints\u201d \u2014 along with those of his longtime creative partner, Evan Goldberg<\/strong> \u2014 \u201chave been among the most visible on American film comedy for almost 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n His work for the big screen \u2014 which includes 2005\u2019s The 40-Year-Old Virgin<\/em>, 2007\u2019s Knocked Up<\/em> and Superbad<\/em>, 2008\u2019s Pineapple Express<\/em>, 2013\u2019s This Is the End<\/em>, 2014\u2019s The Interview<\/em> and Neighbors<\/em> and 2016\u2019s Sausage Party<\/em> \u2014 has collectively grossed nearly $10 billion worldwide. And yet it was not until earlier this year, when he returned to the small screen \u2014 from which he emerged decades ago on the short-lived cult classic Freaks and Geeks<\/em> (1999-2000) \u2014 that he found widespread critical appreciation.<\/p>\n On The Studio<\/em>, Rogen plays Matt Remick, a longtime Hollywood exec who is named the head of a major studio, a job that he has long dreamed of but that he quickly discovers is not all that it\u2019s cracked up to be. The Associated Press has said it \u201cmay be the definitive portrait of contemporary Hollywood,\u201d while the New York Times<\/em> described it as \u201cfunnier than most anything on TV now.\u201d<\/p>\n Over the course of a conversation at the Los Angeles offices of Point Grey Pictures, Rogen and Goldberg\u2019s production company, Rogen reflected on he wound up in Hollywood as a teenager, and with Judd Apatow<\/strong> as his mentor; the backstories of the crude but heartfelt and largely improvised film comedies that made him a star; his occasional forays into drama, including in Sarah Polley<\/strong>\u2019s Take This Waltz<\/em>, Danny Boyle<\/strong>\u2019s Steve Jobs<\/em> and Steven Spielberg<\/strong>\u2019s The Fabelmans<\/em>; how some of his most infamous misadventures in Hollywood \u2014 such as the flop of his superhero movie The Green Hornet<\/em> and North Korea\u2019s hacking of Sony Pictures in response to his film The Interview<\/em> \u2014 informed The Studio<\/em>; plus more.<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
