I don’t know whether to pity or exalt Seth Rogen. The man has essentially become a celebrity from potty humor. First, he’s in a bunch of movies that are almost porn (including one with “porno” in the title). Now, he’s co-developing a series for Showtime with the premise of three guys that run a pornography shop.
It seems unlikely that Rogen would step in front of the camera for this series, given his movie career at the moment. But hey, anything is possible. I suspect the series will reflect the perverted sense of humor he displayed in his writing of the movie Superbad.
Perhaps it’s a Canadian thing. He joins a long line of Canucks who garnered fame and fortune via television. The list includes William Shatner and Michael J. Fox.
Rogen stands as proof that anybody with a little luck can actually become a movie star (and television producer). As a result, he earns my admiration and envy.
