In the short time since he debuted his penchant for dramatic comedy at a gritty open-mike bar in New York City, JONAH HILL (Schrader) has already worked alongside many of the most sought-after actors, directors and producers in Hollywood. His first feature film was I Heart Huckabees with Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin for director David O. Russell. He then secured a small role in Judd Apatow’s summer comedy hit The 40-Yea- Old Virgin with Steve Carell and, after a meeting with Adam Sandler, a small part for him was written into the 20056 summer feature Click.
Hill is currently in production on several other upcoming feature projects. In the first, Strange Wilderness for Happy Madison and Twentieth Century Fox, he co-stars with Steve Zahn, Justin Long, and Ashley Scott. 10 Items or Less is an independent feature starring Morgan Freeman for director Brad Silberling. In the independent film One Part Sugar, Hill stars as a confused teenager who turns to a life of buying and selling drugs when he finds out the father who raised him (Dylan Walsh) is not his biological father.
He is currently in production on Evan Almighty, the follow up to Bruce Almighty, which has Steve Carell reviving his famed “Evan Baxter” as a newly appointed congressman in Washington, D.C. Hill plays “Eugene,” one of Baxter’s aides, alongside Wanda Sykes and John Michael Higgins. He will soon begin production on Knocked Up, Judd Apatow’s next project for Universal Pictures, in which he stars with Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen.
Most recently, Hill was seen in the comedy Grandma’s Boy for Twentieth Century Fox and Happy Madison Productions. He also has a recurring role in the improvisational television series Campus Ladies, a comedy from executive producer Cheryl Hines and the co-executive producers of Reno 911!
