He took correspondence courses to complete high school. It is thought that his first role was as in unpaid appearance in a Tim Hortons summer camp commercial. His professional career began when he was cast as Larrabe Hicks in the television series I Was a Sixth Grade Alien in 1999. His breakthrough role in Juno catapulted Cera into one of the busiest young actors in Hollywood. He played the title role in the 2010 feature, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. He played George-Michael Bluth in 84 episodes of Arrested Development, which ran from 2003 until 2006 and was reborn in 2013 and ran until 2019.
