Oh man. Michael Cera is possibly the most promising comedic actor today, mainly because he has absolutely no qualms about making a situation as uncomfortable as humanly possible. Whether he’s falling in love with his cousin or warding off the lascivious advances of an inebriated classmate, Cera has turned awkwardness into an art. Since his turn on Arrested Development, Cera has been all over the internet, both with parodies of OTHER internet videos, and with a limited-run show produced with his real-life best friend, Clark Duke. On top of all of that, he’s absolutely adorable. After the runaway success of last summer’s Superbad and indie-hit Juno, he’s booked lead roles in an adaptation of C.D. Payne’s Youth in Revolt, and of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life. And, of course, we’re all crossing our fingers for that Arrested Development movie. In the meantime, sate your Cera-lust by checking out his cute indie band, The Long Goodbye.
