## Resource

Seth Rogen recounts the wildest audition of his career—trying out for 8 Mile’s Cheddar Bob by bringing Jason Segel to read lines with him, leading to uncontrollable laughter and a memorable moment that even Olivia Wilde, then a casting assistant, still remembers. Though Evan Jones landed the role, the absurdity of the audition became a legendary anecdote from Rogen’s early Hollywood days, shared on the A24 Podcast as a reminder of the bizarre, funny chaos behind the scenes.
