All the Movies That James Franco and Seth Rogen's Friends Have Starred in Together

A lot of the following movies may have never happened if not for the short-lived series Freaks and Geeks. The cult favorite only lasted one season, but it marks the first major roles for Seth Rogen and James Franco. The show is referenced many times throughout the film, and costars Jason Segel and Martin Starr make cameo appearances.

Like Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared is an underrated (and short-lived) TV show that was brought to us by Judd Apatow. It doesn't have the same following as Freaks and Geeks, but it does feature the same caliber of now-famous stars, like Jay Baruchel, Jason Segel, and Seth Rogen (bonus: Charlie Hunnam also starred!).

Judd Apatow made his directorial debut with The 40 Year Old Virgin, and naturally, he cast some of his favorite actors. Seth Rogen appears as a douche-y co-worker of Steve Carell's titular character, and Jonah Hill makes a small but memorable cameo as a quirky guy trying to score a pair of funky shoes. Paul Rudd also stars (and makes a cameo in This Is the End).

This comedy classic boasts the most of This Is the End's costars all in one place: Seth Rogen is the lead, while Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Jason Segel, and Martin Starr play his BFFs. In addition, Craig Robinson pops up as a surly bouncer, while James Franco got a head start on playing himself when he shows up to do an interview with Katherine Heigl's character.

Superbad marks the first feature-film screenplay that came from The Interview and This Is the End cowriters Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The longtime BFFs wrote the film about their own high school experiences, with Jonah Hill and Michael Cera starring as Seth and Evan.

The Interview stars James Franco and Seth Rogen play potheads on the run from a drug lord in this comedy, also penned by Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Not only do Franco and Rogen play stoner buddies, but also, another pair from This Is the End pops up together here: Danny McBride and Craig Robinson, as the drug lord's henchmen. This collaboration, more than any other, gets some seriously hilarious recognition in This Is the End.

Seth Rogen leaves a lot of his standard costars behind in the raunchy comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno — except for Craig Robinson, who plays Zack's co-worker and producer of the titular porno.

Another one from director Judd Apatow, Funny People stars Seth Rogen as a struggling stand-up comedian, with Jonah Hill playing his roommate. Aziz Ansari also appears as an obnoxious fellow comedian and has a pretty grisly scene in This Is the End.

Craig Robinson has appeared in a handful of episodes of Danny McBride's HBO comedy — playing a baseball player and rocking an eye patch, no less.

Rogen and Franco are the leads in this movie, just like in Pineapple Express, though this time they play an interviewer (Franco) and a producer (Rogen) sent to assassinate North Korea's dictator.
