Short Bio:
Michael Cera Born June 7, 1988, in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, as the second of three children. Cera was the only boy born to Linda Cera and her husband, Luigi, a Sicilian immigrant who made a living working as a repairman for Xerox. While not cut from acting stock, Cera says his family is a creative bunch. His older sister Jordan is a painter, his younger sister Molly, is a "really good writer," and both his parents are "really, really funny." Brampton, Ontario native Michael Cera began working at the age of four in a Tim Horton's commercial. His first TV role was playing the little brother of the main character in the Canadian TV movie What Katy Did (1999). Guest appearances on series such as I Was a Sixth Grade Alien, Twice in a Lifetime, La Femme Nikita and Doc followed, as well as a supporting role in the TV movie Switching Goals (1999), starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. In 2001, Cera landed a role in the FOX sitcom, The Grubbs. But the program never made it to the air, getting canceled after just eight episodes were filmed. Cera later claimed he was "devastated" by the early hook, but he wasn't done with television completely. And his earlier experience on The Grubbs and the timing of its cancelation helped pave the way for Cera to look over the script for another sitcom, Arrested Development, a Ron Howard produced show that was still very much in its infancy.
