HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

JONAH HILL (Snotlout) has quickly become one of Hollywood's most sought after comedic talents, due in part to his starring role opposite Michael Cera in the acclaimed hit "Superbad,” produced by Judd Apatow, directed by Greg Mottola and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Hill was most recently seen in Apatow's "Funny People,” with Adam Sandler and Rogen, and he made a cameo appearance in the 2009 summer hit film "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian,” opposite Ben Stiller. Hill was seen in the recently released "The Invention of Lying” starring Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner and Tina Fey, and will soon be seen in several upcoming features, including a comedy from writing/directing team Jay and Mark Duplass and Nicholas Stoller's "Get Him to the Greek,” opposite Russell Brand and produced by Apatow, due for release in June 2010.

The 26-year-old continues to confirm his place among a new generation of comedic writer/actors, currently co-writing "The Adventurer's Handbook,” in which he will also co-star with Jason Segel. He is also co-writing the big screen adaptation of the hit TV series "21 Jump Street”; co-writing the Apatow-produced comedy "The Middle Child,” in which he will also star; and writing, producing (with Apatow) and starring in the romantic comedy "Pure Imagination.” Hill recently served as associate producer on the Sacha Baron Cohen comedy "Bruno.”

He played alongside Segel, Russell Brand and Kristen Bell in the Apatow comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” Produced by Apatow and Shauna Robertson, and directed by Nicholas Stoller, the film went on to make over $100 million worldwide.

Hill began his career performing one-scene plays that he wrote and performed at the gritty Black & White bar in New York City. After landing a role in David O. Russell's "I Heart Huckabees” with Dustin Hoffman and Lilly Tomlin, Hill was next seen in Judd Apatow's 2005 summer hit comedy "The 40-Year-Old Virgin” with Steve Carell.

Other film credits for Hill include "Click,” "10 Items or Less,” "Evan Almighty” and "Accepted,” and he was seen presenting at the 80th Annual Academy Awards®.
