Jay Baruchel's career as a Canadian actor and director has seen him excel in a variety of roles in both film and television. His versatility is evident in his work, with lead roles in comedies such as "Fanboys," "She's Out of My League," and "This Is the End," as well as a co-lead role in Disney's action-fantasy film "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." Branching out of comedy, Baruchel also stars in the horror thriller "Humane."

His voice is also recognized by many as Hiccup Haddock in the "How to Train Your Dragon" franchise, a role that contributed to his films grossing over $1.28 billion at the worldwide box office.
In addition to his acting career, Baruchel has made strides as a director, with films like "Goon: Last of the Enforcers" and "Random Acts of Violence" to his credit. Baruchel is an accomplished director and screenwriter. He is a part-owner of the Toronto-based comic book publisher, Chapterhouse, and wrote the "Captain Canuck" series for them. His debut as an author came with the book "Born Into It: A Fan's Life." Throughout his career, he has received numerous accolades, including a Canadian Screen Award for Best Lead Performance in a Comedy Film for his role as Mike Lazaridis in "BlackBerry" and the US Comedy Arts Festival Best Actor Award in 2007 for "I'm Reed Fish."
Baruchel's work extends beyond the big screen, with appearances in the Adidas Originals ad campaign "Cantina" and music videos such as "Toxsik Waltz" by rapper Necro and "Ouch" by The Tragically Hip. On the small screen, he had lead roles in the television series "Undeclared" and "Man Seeking Woman," and hosted the original audio podcast documentary series for Audible.ca, "Highly Legal." His most recent endeavors include hosting the Crave original series "We're All Gonna Die (Even Jay Baruchel)" and the show "LOL: Last One Laughing Canada."
