8	He began his career making Youtube videos with his friends Anders Holm, Blake Anderson and Kyle Newacheck in the early 2000s, which caught the attention of Comedy Central. They wanted the group to make a show, and thus ''Series/{{Workaholics}}'' was born. They wrote, produced, directed and starred in the show for 7 seasons, ending as Comedy Central's most successful show.

10	Following season 1, he was approached by Creator/ElizabethBanks to audition for her movie ''Film/PitchPerfect''. The film was hugely successful, and his [[StarMakingRole character Bumper]] [[BreakoutCharacter was so popular]] that he reprised the role in the sequel. This led to him being typecast in roles in films such as ''Film/TheFinalGirls'', ''Film/MikeAndDaveNeedWeddingDates'' and ''[[Film/GameOverMan2018 Game Over, Man!]]''.

12	In 2013, [=DeVine=] began playing a recurring character, Andy, on ''Series/ModernFamily''. He impressed the producers so much that they wrote him into subsequent seasons. Due to his PlayingAgainstType performance portraying a nice, sweet love interest, he started to get offers to play BoyNextDoor characters, beginning with the 2015 comedy/drama ''Film/TheIntern''. From there, he was the lead in the romantic-comedies ''Film/WhenWeFirstMet'' and ''Film/IsntItRomantic'', showcasing his dramatic chops. This was further established in his performances in the satirical dark comedy ''Series/TheRighteousGemstones'' (2019), raunchy romantic comedy ''Film/{{Jexi}}'' (2019) and animated children's series ''WesternAnimation/{{Green Eggs and Ham\|2019}}'' (2019).
