Seth
Green, Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1974, Green
was raised in the suburbs. At the age of 6, he was already set
on acting, enrolling in lessons to help him along. His uncle,
a casting director, was able to help him land jobs on television
and he appeared in numerous commercials. Seth got a taste of
better things to come when he appeared briefly in Hotel New
Hampshire, with Brat Pack member, Rob Lowe. He would also appear
in another 1980's classic, Can’t Buy Me Love.
Green
continued to work into the 90s but the roles were small and
failed to leave a lasting impression on audiences. His most
notable roles were in the Stephen King miniseries, It, and
in the teen angst flick Pump Up the Volume. Things
went steadily from bad to worse, and by 1995, Seth was back
to square one, with a role as “3rd Youth at Hot Dog Stand"
in the little seen John Travolta movie, White Man’s Burden.
I’m sure we all remember that one...Then
came Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, the shagadelic
hit by comedian Mike Myers. As the nefarious Doctor Evil’s
progeny, Scott Evil, Seth got a lot of laughs, and even more
exposure. The good fortune continued for Seth, as an appearance
on the hit WB series Buffy the Vampire Slayer turned into
a recurring role. He plays Oz, a young guitarist (who also
has a slight werewolf problem), smitten with series regular,
Alyson Hannigan (Willow). It is interesting to note that the
two had previously starred together years before in the 1988
dud, My Stepmother Is an Alien.
Since
Austin Powers and Buffy, Seth has continued his comeback with
roles in Can’t Hardly Wait, with Jennifer Love Hewitt
and Ethan Embry, and Enemy of the State with Will Smith and
Gene Hackman. The two films have assured his rising fame,
and broadened his fan base even further. Things seem to be
looking really good for Seth. Seth's
first major role since making it big on Buffy came in Idle
Hands. Unfortunately, the film about a teenager who wakes
up one morning with a murderous hand, suffered from some very
bad timing with its release coming just a week after the Columbine
School shooting. Americans were not in the mood to see more
teenage killing - real or fictional. The film looked good,
but it quickly disappeared from theaters.
In
addition to his new movies, Seth has also been very busy working
on television. Not only does he appear regularly on Buffy
but he is also providing voices for two new animated series,
Batman Beyond and The Family Guy. Finally
successful again after all these years, Seth does not seem
to want to let up, and his fans are grateful.
