An Updated Ranking of the Best Performances from Seth Rogen So Far
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…some actors just always manage to please you. Seth Rogen is one such example for me.

John Carney has an innate ability to hit me right in the feels. Though he’s made other films, starting with Once, he really broken out to be a poet for musicians and the love of music.
