Jesse Eisenberg

Born in Queens and raised in New Jersey, actor Jesse Eisenberg first made an impression on filmgoers as an awkward teen whose uncle leads him on a lusty tour of Manhattan in director Dylan Kidd's award-winning indie, "Roger Dodger." Though Eisenberg had previously appeared on the Fox drama, "Get Real," and as a storm-chasing teen in the made-for-television drama, "Lightning: Fire from the Sky," it was Roger Dodger that marked his entrance as a dramatic actor.

The following years would see Eisenberg climbing the rungs in smaller films like "The Education of Charlie Banks," "The Hunting Party," and "Boys Don't Leave," but his breakthrough came in 2009 with a leading role opposite Kristen Stewart in the period comedy-drama, "Adventureland." He would soon follow this critically acclaimed hit with a movie that impressed critics and audiences alike, the 2010 horror-comedy, "Zombieland," in which the actor played the unlikely survivor of a zombie apocalypse. Becoming a household name, Eisenberg found an even better vehicle for his talents playing the leading role in the 2010 Oscar contender, "The Social Network." Playing real life Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Eisenberg was nominated for a host of awards, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe. The following year, the actor signed on to play another character based on a real person, this time with the bizarre comedy, "30 Minutes or Less," about a pizza delivery guy forced to commit a bank robbery. He voiced the lead role in the animated film, "Rio," and in 2012 had a brief turn in the indie comedy, "Free Samples."

Most recently, Eisenberg starred in the film, "The End of the Tour." This film tells the story of the five-day interview between Rolling Stone reporter (and novelist) David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) and acclaimed novelist David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel), which took place right after the 1996 publication of Wallace’s groundbreaking epic novel, Infinite Jest.
