Judd Apatow may have saved Jason Segel’s career.

It’s easy to look at a film’s synopsis and immediately think you know what you’re about to see, especially when it comes to features about a person dealing with a terminal illness and how that might affect their relationships. But “Our Friend” isn’t just your run-of-the-mill film about a devastating illness.

You can probably thank “The Fault In Our Stars” for kickstarting this trend in recent years, but Hollywood has seemingly been in love with the idea of a YA film focused on a new love affair between teens that is interrupted by one of their terminal illnesses.

In 2020 years, Gabriela Cowperthwaite‘s “Our Friend” came out ages ago. However, this life-affirming film about friendship, family, love, and loss debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2019.

Ellen Pompeo, Jason Segel and more of Hollywood’s most recognizable TV actors have somehow evaded the Emmy Awards throughout their careers.Pompeo has been a television staple since Grey’s Anatomy first aired in 2005, but her work has yet to be celebrated by the Television Academy.

Pete Hammond Awards Columnist/Chief Film CriticJason Segel, the creator, writer, director, producer and star of the innovative AMC series Dispatches From Elsewhere, said it straight out during Deadline’s Contenders Television virtual event: he is essentially playing himself.“My character starts out not knowing who he is and by the 10th episode I become Jason Segel – literally by name.

Ellise Shafer editorJason Segel, Eve Lindley and André Benjamin joined the Variety Streaming Room for a Q&A after a screening of the first episode from their new TV series, “Dispatches From Elsewhere.” Moderated by Variety senior editor Michael Schneider, the stars discussed the making of the series, their connection to their characters and what they hope the audience takes away from the show.“Dispatches From Elsewhere” was created by Segel and premiered March 1 on AMC.

How I Met Your Mother is one of those feel-good sitcoms that we can never get tired of re-watching. The series first aired on the television in 2005 and ran for 9 glorious seasons before the creators dropped the finale episode on March 31, 2014.

Producer/director Paul Feig is a bona-fide starmaker. His hit 2011 movie “Bridesmaids” launched Melissa McCarthy into the stratosphere; his cult TV series, “Freaks and Geeks” (1999-2000), was a major early stepping stone for Hollywood A-listers Jason Segel, Seth Rogen, James Franco, Busy Phillips and Linda Cardellini.
