An ingratiating comic performer with a knack for finding the humanity in stereotypical “geek” roles, actor Justin Long rose from TV and indie features to supporting and starring roles in major features like “Accepted” (2006), “Live Free or Die Hard” (2007) and “He’s Just Not That into You” (2009). Long’s droll timing and refusal to mug was crucial in elevating him from his early roles as social misfits on “Ed” (NBC, 2000-2004) to nervous but capable young men in the mold of Jack Lemmon for the aforementioned projects, as well as “Herbie: Fully Loaded” (2005) and “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”
There may not be a single mathematically inclined bone in my body, but my guy has scientifically calculated that there's a 53% chance of Justin Long becoming a major movie star.
