Jonah Hill question

[weaselboy]

I recently enjoyed the work of young "actor" Jonah Hill in Funny People. I especially liked the way he swore a lot and talked about his genitals in a really angry loud sweary voice. I was just wondering if anyone had seen him do this sort of stuff in any other films??? I know that no one wants to be typecast, but I can see that a classic routine like his will never get old.

I think I missed them all because I was stuck in the cinema waiting for Funny People to end (seriously that movie went on forever).

JAmes Cagey and Edward G. Robinson were typecasts of mobsters. That was good.

Jonah Hill is a typecast from Superbad. Well, I can certainly identify with that quotient, but its not the thing to be typecast for. I want to see him do the bit part in a war film.

Ok I'm going to join in the thread and include Jonah Hill's more awesome co-lead from Superbad....Michael Cera!

Dear Michael,

You are seriously the greatest actor I have EVER SEEN! I cannot believe you do not star in every movie that comes out. When I watch movies like 'The Transformers' and 'Dark Knight' I do not see the actors cast. Instead I just insert your face on these fools and the movies is one million times better. How do production companies not hire you more? I need to see you in more movies or I may do something drastic!

I know you are probably busy so I will keep this short and sweet. You do read these message boards every day, right? I am sure you do because you seem so dedicated and professional. I am sure you care a lot about your fans by your wide variety of rolls and characters. We, as viewers, of television and movies are really lucky to have you around. Watching you on the silver screen is beneficial to every aspect of our body's. I know a lot of doctors and they all agree with me!

Remember when you were in 'Juno'? I could tell you were really in to that role. The entire time you seemed to keep the same expression. That kind of skill is hard to come by these days. I was watching 'The Cable Guy' the other day and I have to tell you, that Jim Carey, I don't know if you know him or not, but he cannot keep his face still! It was soooo distracting. I think you are way better than Jim Carey. I also think you are better than Mathew Broderick too. Juno is just one of many films where you seem to keep only one or two expressions the whole time and it really keeps things simple.

I really like the way you deliver lines too. Remember when you were in 'Superbad'? You seemed to say things the same way a lot. That really helped me remember who you were. I have a hard time keeping track of who actors are in movies. If there are lots of actors in a film it can get really confusing. Keeping your voice at a constant level and keeping the same look on your face, regardless of the scene, really helps! Have you ever thought about taking some time out of your schedule to maybe teach some classes at NYU or Carnegie Mellon? My uncle went there, if you contact me I can put you through to some people who can make that happen.

I think you are the voice of my generation. We are a listless group and we need some guidance. I think in your acting method and film presence are a firm representation of all the angst ridden and confused 20 somethings in this country. There are a lot of confused people out there and having someone who constantly looks perplexed and confused in popular movies provides a bit of closure and comfort.

I know this letter is getting pretty lengthy but I have to tell you something that is bothering me. I think I speak for everyone when I say that you should not do the 'Arrested Development' movie. You are passed that. You were not given a big enough part in the show and I think that is why Fox canceled it. It was not a very good show and I think you and I both know that. Your career is only going to suffer if you do it. I think you should just focus on playing passive young men who are confused and speak in the same tone all the time. Things will only get better.

Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think about the teaching position. I hope I did not come off as too forward. I just have a copious amount of respect for you and the work you do. After I watch a Michael Cera movie I cannot help but just stop for a moment. I just watched your new movie and I seriously cried. You are that good. You are a shining star, my friend. Don't let trivial things like plot advancement and conflict get in your way. They are not important and I think I can say with confidence that people who have issues with your acting method are just virgins. Dumb, jealous and probably poor, Virgins!

Rock on dude! I am going to watch the Real World now!

I'm still a fan of Michael Cera and George Michael was one of my many favorite characters from Arrested Development.

Yeah because no other actors (especially comedic actors) have played essentially the same roles in their movies
