Seth
Green was named the "Best TV Actor" by Entertainment Weekly
magazine and E! Entertainment Television’s poll proclaimed him the
hottest young actor in Hollywood. He’s currently in production on “Four
Kings,” his new NBC midseason series. He’s also co-executive producing,
writing, directing and doing multiple voices each week for “Robot
Chicken,” his series on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim while
simultaneously working on new episodes of “Family Guy.”
In his
“spare” time, Green wrapped one of the leads in “The Best Man,” an indie
comedy. Seth was the lead in Paramount’s 2004 sleeper hit, “Without A
Paddle.” In 2003, Green portrayed a technological genius in Paramount’s
hit, “The Italian Job” and Killer Films’ indie flick “Party Monster,”
the true story of New York club-kid-turned-murderer Michael Alig and
James St. James, with Green narrating and starring as St. James. Green
won rave reviews for these and for his starring roles in “Knockaround
Guys,” “Can’t Hardly Wait,” and his roles in “America’s Sweethearts,”
“Rat Race,” and all three “Austin Powers” films in addition to his
previous roles on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Greg the Bunny.” Aside
from Green’s films, series and accolades, he’s reached the pinnacle of
showbiz success in a more tangible format … multiple action figures have
been made in his likeness by the industry’s top toymakers.
Seth
Green has worked almost non-stop since he began in the business at age
seven. Green was born on February 8 in West Philadelphia. He signed with
a manager who had him working the next day on an RCA/John Denver
promotion. Soon he was commuting regularly between Philly and locations
across the country — and still managed to graduate with honors from his
school back home.
At
eight, Green landed his first film assignment: a co-starring role in
“Hotel New Hampshire” with Jodie Foster and Rob Lowe. At twelve, Green
auditioned for Woody Allen and was given a date to report to work.
Because of Allen’s legendary penchant for secrecy on the set Seth had no
idea he would be filming for eighteen weeks in New York and wind up with
the leading role in “Radio Days.” At 12, he was trading quips with
Carson on “The Tonight Show.” He also starred in David Mamet’s “American
Buffalo” at the Old Globe in San Diego in ‘96.
Green
soon had roles in several feature films beginning with “Big Business,”
where he played Bette Midler’s unruly son, followed by “My Stepmother is
an Alien,” “Can’t Buy Me Love” and many others. Green was a series
regular as the son in ABC’s “Good and Evil,” ABC’s “The Byrds of
Paradise,” and CBS’ “Temporarily Yours,” with his TV parents played by
Teri Garr, Timothy Busfield and Joanna Gleason, respectively.
In Columbia’s “Can’t Hardly Wait,” Green played Kenny Fisher, and began
his role as Oz, a guitarist and sometime werewolf, on “Buffy the Vampire
Slayer” in ’97 while filming “Can’t Hardly Wait.” Green left the show in
1999 explaining that “the character was always better served in a
recurring capacity and Joss and I both felt it was better to revert to
that status.” His “Buffy” schedule precluded a larger role in
Touchstone’s Will Smith starrer, “Enemy of the State,” but Green was
thrilled to work with director Tony Scott. Green spent months in Canada
filming “Knockaround Guys,” playing Johnny Marbles. He was a two-bit
con, Duane Cody, in Jerry Zucker’s “Rat Race.” In “America’s
Sweethearts,” starring Julia Roberts, John Cusack and Catherine Zeta
Jones, Green played Danny Wax, a rising studio publicity executive under
the tutelage of Billy Crystal’s veteran character at a film junket from
hell.
Green
co-starred in 1997’s “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery,”
1999’s “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” and 2002’s “Austin Powers
in Goldmember” as Scott Evil, Dr. Evil’s estranged son. The added bonus
of the film’s success was the creation of a Scott Evil action figure
that Green, a self-confessed “longtime fan of action figures,” helped
develop for McFarlane Toys. In 2004, Green played a mysterious museum
curator in “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.” Green fell in love with
the script for Fox’s series, “Greg the Bunny” and he was lured back to
television to play Jimmy Bender, the best friend, roommate and co-worker
to the title character, a puppet, or as he will correct you, “a
fabricated American.”
In
Fox’s once-cancelled animated primetime series “Family Guy,” Green has
played the teenage son in a very dysfunctional family for three seasons,
and the series is back into production once again. In 2001, Seth and
partner Matthew Senreich debuted their series, “Sweet J Presents,” on
Sony’s Screenblast. The duo created and executive produced twelve
webisodes utilizing stop-motion photography and are working in the same
capacity for “Robot Chicken.”
Starring in multiple film and television projects is fulfilling, and
he’s enjoying his first foray into producing and directing. Green’s
producing heroes are Danny DeVito and Michael Douglas. He and his
childhood friend, Hugh Sterbakov, created a new comic book for Top Cow,
“Freshmen,” which debuted at the 2005 Comic-Con and sold out across the
country the week of its debut.
