5 Reasons Why I Love Jason Segal

5. Undeclared
In Undeclared, Jason plays Lizzie's boyfriend. They're a couple who obsess over each other so much that Lizzie sleeps on a pillow with Eric's (Jason) face on it. He's funny and his patchy facial hair reminds of the time I tried to grow a beard.

4. Judd Apatow
Jason is a friend of Judd's and pop's up in many of his productions. Judd is on a hot streak with films like Knocked Up and Superbad, so it doesn't hurt to have a friend in high places.

3. Freaks and Geeks
In this show, he plays Nick. Nick is a "freak" with a soft side. He's the sweetheart stoner you can't help but love. No homo.

2. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Jason plays Peter, a character who was recently dumped by the infamous Sarah Marshall. He ends up visiting a Hawaiian hotel that his ex-gf is also staying at. It's a hilarious/embarrassing/feel-good experience. Did I mention that he lets it ALL hang out? You can't help but laugh.

1. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I had to put this on twice because not only did Jason act in this movie, but he also wrote it. It's a great movie and as far as first efforts go, it was f-ing fantastic. This is the first date movie I've wanted to own, EVER. This film caused me to fall in love with Jason Segal, and I cannot wait for his next project.
