The 27-year-old comic actor has played his share of stoner roles.
Born on Dec. 20, 1983, Jonah Hill Feldman grew up in Mill Valley, California. He first appeared in I Heart Hiuckabees in 2004. Hill soon became a staple in stoner movies like The 40 Year Old Virgin, Grandma's Boy and Knocked Up.
But it was Superbad - co-written by Seth Rogen - that elevated Hill from bit-part actor to full-fledged star. In Greg Mottola's high-school comedy, Hill and Michael Cera are friends who desperately want to be cool and will go to any lengths to prove they are.
He followed with roles in Strange Wilderness, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Funny People.
His Matthew the Waiter character in Sarah Marshall evolved into Aaron, the record-company assistant in Get Him to the Greek. Aaron's job is to transport Aldous Snow (Russell Brand's character in Sarah Marshall) to a rock concert in L.A. Along the way, Aaron smokes joints and does other drugs with Aldous to hilarious effect,
Hill's turn in Cyrus, as the immature son of a single woman who falls for a man Cyrus dislikes, showed another side of his acting ability. Cyrus' mother obsession is one step from twisted and not particularly funny. It's a stretch that worked for Hill.
He's curently appearing in Moneyball with Brad Pitt and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Hill demonstrates how to smoke out of an apple in Pot Culture.
