But Segel is happy that Freaks and Geeks is finally streaming — although he admits he won't be taking part in a binge-watch of the series himself. It was this really amazing cast before we really knew anything. I mean, a few of us had done some little jobs here and there but this is where we really cut our teeth.
And even though Segel has gone on to enjoy a successful career since Freaks and Geeks , not only in comedy but also drama he currently stars in the gut wrenching cancer drama Our Friend opposite Casey Affleck and Dakota Johnson , he still calls the one-season wonder "one of the best experiences of my life for sure.
It sort of informed everything I did since. And that led the way to the movies that we did after. Sign up for Entertainment Weekly 's free daily newsletter to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more.

Seth Rogen's first book to hit bookshelves in May. Feig, an actor known, relatively speaking, for the movies Ski Patrol and Heavyweights co-written by Apatow, who brought Feig in and short runs on the TV series Dirty Dancing, Good Sports, and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, has written, directed, and starred in an independent feature, Life Sold Separately, which he has been touring to college campuses. It was all these guys who had come out to L.
I also used to see Paul in comedy clubs and thought he was really funny. That was our routine every night for years. Judd was younger than everyone else—he was really considered to be just a kid. At the same time, he was booking his own stand-up night at some club, working for Comic Relief.
Everybody should be nice to him because he could be running the town someday. That just never happens. Everything had kind of hit the rocks; I was really at my lowest point. I kicked the thing out really fast—I think it had just been gestating for so long in my brain—cleaned it up and gave it to my wife, and she told me to send it to Judd.
He called about 12 hours after I sent him the script. It was important to me to show that side. Get your friends, have your support group. And learn to be able to laugh at it. And all the rules go out the window. I got tired of every teenager being portrayed as horny and completely cool with sex, because that was not my experience. You could split them into kids who are constantly trying to get older and kids that are desperately trying to hold on to their immaturity. I asked him to write another few episodes to explore the world, and he banged out two more.
We took a lot of moments from them and put them into the pilot. Jake Kasdan, 24, is hired to direct the pilot; he will stick around for the run of the series, directing nearly a third of the episodes and helping edit the rest.
Thank God it turned out to be good. So I said we should just try to cast unique characters and re-write the pilot to their personalities. It had always been about trying to fit the person to read the lines correctly. Judd and Paul created a carnival atmosphere. Linda Cardellini, then 23, is cast in the lead as year-old Lindsay Weir. It was a more interesting approach than all the other teenagers I was reading, who just hated their parents.
But Linda was the exact person I had in my head. And I think that helped me ultimately, because it let me put my guard down. I was just focused on not throwing up. All we have to do is act! James Franco, 20, is cast as freak Daniel Desario, a slightly goofy bad boy. We should grab him immediately. He was always the one that had a Camus novel, heavily dog-eared, and his car was so full of junk that it looked like he lived out of it. I saw all the kids at summer school, and there was this guy the teacher pointed out to me, this kind of rough-around-the-edges-looking kid.
Judd connected to him immediately and deeply. Jason really captured that desperation I felt when I was younger. Seth Rogen, 16, who will play acerbic freak Ken Miller, is found on a casting trip to Vancouver. The smart, sweet, grounded person we now know him to be seemed impossible back then. He seemed like a mad, troublemaking Canadian lunatic who was quiet and angry and might kill you. I was incredibly angry and repressed, and I think they saw me as this kind of weird, sarcastic guy and started writing towards that.
But then they got to know me and saw me as a nice guy, and that revealed itself as the show progressed. There were some kids that Judd thought were immensely special and was going to beat that into them until they believed it. Gangly, shuffling, bespectacled, he is the most outwardly strange and inwardly deep of the central geeks. He could make you cry laughing by doing almost nothing. Then it turned out he could do anything. It was really acting of a very high order. Can I?
We told each other jokes for a couple hours and became friends. Martin was the exact opposite, very mischievous, liked to get a rise out of people. Samm was more the Vegas comedian with the puns and the quips. It was a very odd, bickering-family kind of friendship. That I got a lot of enjoyment out of. The pilot is completed by early spring of What do we do to not let that happen? True Hollywood Story.
