Michael Austin Cera born on June 7th 1988 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. He is an actor and an occasional musician. I like the way he acts because he seems real to me. His mother is Linda from Quebec and his father Luigi from Sicily and was a technician. Both parents worked for the Xerox company.
Michael has an older sister Jordan and a younger sister as well named Molly. After watching the movie Ghostbusters repeatedly when he was sick with the chicken pox at the age of 3. Michael memorized the dialogue to the movie idolizing Bill Murray he became very interested in acting.
He ended up enrolling at The Second City Toronto and took improvisation classes. He also attended Conestoga Public School Robert H. Lagerquist Senior Public School and Heart Lake Secondary School up until the 9th grade. From there on out he finished high school through correspondence.
His first role was an unpaid appearance in a Tim Hortons summer camp commercial. Eventually that led to a Pillsbury commercial in which he got to poke the Pillsbury Doughboy. That commercial was his first role that had lines.
I guess he was in the movie Frequency as Gordy Jr. at age 10. I'll have to watch that again. Other movies he was in that I liked are Switching Goals,
Superbad,Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist,Paper Heart and Year One.
