Who's The Bigger Star? Part 5

Here is a fun post where a compare two actors/actresses, sports stars, TV personalities, etc against each other and determine who is the bigger star.  Let's see who wins this time:

Seth Rogen v. Jonah Hill

Seth Rogen
  • Biggest Role:  A Big Goofy Slacker in all of his movies.
  • My Favorite Role:  Dirty Randy from The League or Cal from The-40-Year-Old Virgin
  • Top Earning Movie:  Monsters v. Aliens ($198.4 million)
  • Biggest Flop:  Definitely The Green Hornet.
  • Awards:  1 Emmy Nomination (0 Wins)
  • Career:  Seth got his start on the Judd Apatow show, Freaks and Geeks, then went on to do the Judd Apatow show, Undeclared.  His first big part in a movie was in Judd Apatow's The 40-Year-Old Virgin and then got his first leading role a couple years later in Judd Apatow's Knocked Up.  Notice a theme yet?  After that, he has stared in a lot of stuff like Pineapple Express, 50/50, and This is the End.  In other words, he is getting a steady string of work with plenty in the works.
Jonah Hill
  • Biggest Role:  His character from Moneyball
  • My Favorite Role:  Honestly, I really don't have one.
  • Top Earning Movie:  How To Train Your Dragon ($217.6 million)
  • Biggest Flop:  It's either The Watch or The Sitter, you decide.
  • Awards:   1 Golden Globe Nomination (0 Wins), 1 Oscar Nomination (0 Wins)
  • Career:  The first time we saw Jonah was in a tiny part in I Heart Huckabees.  After that he played Seth Rogen's sidekick for a couple of years and then got a couple of movies of his own like Get Him to the Greek and The Sitter.  However, recently he has landed roles in a couple of critically acclaimed movies like Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street and even got an Oscar nomination for Moneyball.
I really want to pick Jonah Hill because I just don't like Seth Rogen all that much, but his star power is just too big to overcome Jonah's more solid acting resume.  So, even though I don't want to do it, Seth Rogen wins.
