'Superbad' Cast Then and Now

It’s been over 15 the years since the world was introduced to the Superbad cast. The movie, starring Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Bill Hader, came out in 2007. The film was a coming-of-age comedy directed by Greg Mottola and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. It pretty much put Jonah Hill on the map.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Fogell

Audiences will always recognize Christopher Mintz-Plasse as McLovin, the fake-ID alter ego of Superbad geek Fogell.

"It was very alarming; it was very intense. There was a lot of anxiety, a lot of breakdowns. It wasn't like I was a working actor that worked my way up to a certain level of fame. It was zero to 100 very fast.”

After the movie, she continued to get steady roles in films including The House Bunny (2008), Zombieland (2009), and Easy A (2010).

She became a household name thanks to parts in The Help (2011), Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011), La La Land (2016) and the starring role in 2021's Cruella. Most recently she’s starred in the series The Curse (2023-24) and Poor Things (2024), which earned her an Oscar.
