Eisenberg's stock has been on the rise within the last few years. You most likely know his face from his main role in the Hollywood hit The Social Network (2010) as the internet guru Mark Zuckerberg, and the 2009 zombie comedy film Zombieland. His newest role in the film 30 Minutes or Less as a bank robber/ pizza delivery boy will be premiering this Friday. If everything goes as planned in the box office, he will be solidifying his name in being a rising youngster in the movie industry. He has already been nominated for an Oscar from his role in The Social Network, but this movie doesn't seem like it will have enough to put him over the edge so he can top that accolade.
Eisenberg was born October 5th, 1983 in New York City. His acting career started off on TV in the movie Lightning: Fire in the Sky. Then he landed the job in the TV series Get Real that finished airing in 2002. He also played roles in the Shymalan film The Village in 2004, and The Squid and the Whale in 2006. It wasn't until 2009 that he broke out into big movie characters under promising directors. He starred in Adventureland and Zombieland in the same year and gave us a poor innocent boy that rivaled the also upcoming actor Michael Cera. Then in 2010 he gave us a witty and fiery performance in The Social Network that eventually led to what i thought was a sure Oscar award.
With his new movie coming out I believe it will add to his resume along with another stepping stone for his career. Future projects include Free Samples, and Predisposed which are in the final stages of production. He is also currently filming The Bop Decameron, and possibly in pre-production of While We're Young. But I have my eyes on the Woody Allen film The Bop Decameron, Eisenberg will be pairing up with Ellen Paige, making for a good competition between the two dorks of our generation.
