5 | He is so Canadian, he even has a tattoo of a maple leaf. You might recognize his face as Kirk in ''Film/ShesOutOfMyLeague'', Jay in ''Film/KnockedUp'', Steven in ''Series/{{Undeclared}}'', Kevin in ''Film/TropicThunder'', Leon in ''Film/TheTrotsky'', Victor in ''Film/GoodNeighbors'', or Dave in ''Film/TheSorcerersApprentice'', and his voice as Hiccup in the ''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'' films. |

7 | In case you are interested: He is agnostic, supports the Montreal Canadiens, is 6 feet tall, and his last name is pronounced with a soft sh- sound like shell (so it's "Baru-shell," not "Baru-kel" or "Baru-chell"). |

55 | !!Tropes commonly associated with Jay Baruchel. |
56 | * DoingItForTheArt: Of a sort. He's said many times that no matter how many roles he gets in big Hollywood films, he'll always gladly return home to Canada to shoot smaller, more independent fares out of love for country. Case in point, he appeared in season 5 of ''Series/{{Letterkenny}}'' in 2018. |
57 | * FakeAmerican: Jay often gets cast as an American, but he's very Canadian. |
58 | * {{Improv}}: Judd Apatow selected Baruchel and the rest of the cast in ''Undeclared'' largely on their improvisation skills. |
