History Creator / MichaelCera

** As of 2013 and 2014, he seems to be making a real concerted effort to do so. There were elements of this in ''Film/YouthInRevolt'' and ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', and since then his roles in films such as ''Film/ThisIsTheEnd'', ''Magic Magic'' and ''Crystal Fairy'' have all been very different to his established type.

His career started in Canadian children's TV doing voiceover work for cartoons as well as live-action comedies. His first major role in the U.S. was in the hit comedic show ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''. From there, Cera's career began to skyrocket, as Hollywood realized this guy was good at playing characters with an almost [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]]-esque tone to them, and as the saying goes, "[[Creator/DorisDay que]] [[Pun Cera, Cera]]."

* OnlySoManyCanadianActors: Mostly avoided during his adult life, with most Canadian productions he's done happening during the years he was a child actor. In his adult life, he's only appeared in one Canadian work, ''Scott Pilgrim''.

As a side note, he apparently liked the fight training he went through to prepare for ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' so much that he's now [[TookALevelInBadass studying martial arts for real]]. [[HiddenBadass You have been warned]].
