Career

After appearing briefly in Cameron Crowe's Oscar-winning "Almost Famous", Baruchel won the role of Steven Karp on Judd Apatow's acclaimed yet short-lived television series "Undeclared", where he starred alongside Seth Rogen, Carla Gallo, Charlie Hunnam, and Monica Keena. He then appeared with James Van Der Beek in Roger Avary's "The Rules of Attraction".

In 2004, he played boxing hopeful Danger Barch in Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby", which received an Oscar for Best Picture the following year. Baruchel was among those thanked by Eastwood during his acceptance speech. He then starred in "Nemesis Game" and "Fetching Cody" before appearing opposite Don Johnson on the WB's "Just Legal" in 2005 and guest-starring on CBS's Emmy Award-nominated "Numb3rs" in 2006.

Baruchel appeared in the films "Knocked Up" (which reunited him with Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen), "I'm Reed Fish", and "Just Buried". He appeared in "Fanboys", "She's Out Of My League" co-starring Alice Eve, and the Ben Stiller-directed "Tropic Thunder" alongside Jack Black, Nick Nolte, Steve Coogan and Robert Downey Jr. In 2008, he appeared briefly in "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist". He will also star in "How to Train Your Dragon".
