Jay Baruchel first caught Jessie\\u2019s eye in Almost Famous, which led to him being cast in\\xa0 Judd Apatow\\u2019s short-lived but well-loved TV series Undeclared. That put him in the same orbit as Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Evan Goldberg and other young talents he\\u2019s worked with ever since. He made an impression in such movies as Clint Eastwood\\u2019s Million Dollar Baby, which contributed to his ultimate goal: becoming a filmmaker himself. He wrote, directed and stars in Goon: Last of the Enforcers and its sequel. His latest endeavor, Random Acts of Violence is now streaming online. A lifelong movie buff and hockey fanatic, like so many Canadians; he\\u2019s also great fun to talk to, as you will hear.
