Full Jay Baruchel Biography
Jonathan Adam Saunders Baruchel (born April 9, 1982), better known as Jay Baruchel, is a Canadian film and television actor.
Baruchel was born in Ottawa, Ontario to Robyne, a freelance writer, and Serge Baruchel, an antiques dealer. He has a younger sister, Taylor. His father was Jewish and his mother a Catholic of Irish descent. He got his start on local television series My Hometown in 1996, before co-hosting Popular Mechanics for Kids between 1997 and 1998, alongside fellow Canadian Elisha Cuthbert.
After appearing briefly in Cameron Crowe's Oscar-winning Almost Famous, Jay won the role of Steven Karp on Judd Apatow's lauded yet short-lived television series Undeclared, where he starred alongside Seth Rogen, Carla Gallo, Charlie Hunnam and Monica Keena. He then supported James Van Der Beek in Roger Avary's The Rules of Attraction.
In 2004, he played Danger Barch, a boxing hopeful, in Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby, which scooped an Oscar for Best Picture the following year. (Jay's name was among those thanked by Eastwood when accepting the award.) He then starred opposite Don Johnson on the WB's Just Legal in September and October 2005, and guest-starred on CBS's Numb3rs. He will next be seen in two films: I'm Reed Fish, alongside Alexis Bledel, and Fanboys, alongside Sam Huntington and Chris Marquette.
He was most recently seen onscreen in Apatow's latest film Knocked Up, released on June 1, 2007. One of the films on the slate for production is Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder which casts Baruchel as a Hollywood actor who thinks he's undergoing boot camp training for a war film, only to literally end up in a real war alongside fellow castmates Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr..
Baruchel lives in Montreal, Quebec. He is dating actress Sarah Lind who is known for her roles on the television series Mentors and Edgemont. |
