M-P: A woman asked me to sign her breast. I felt weird. I said, I'm not signing your boob with your fiancé behind you.

CERA: So what did you sign?

M-P: Her ticket.

QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE A FAKE ID?

M-P: No way. I could never pull that off. I look like I'm 15.

QUESTION: MICHAEL, THE FILM YOU'LL BE DOING IN JANUARY, I BELIEVE, IS 'YEAR ONE'?

CERA Yeah.

QUESTION: I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE PLOT OF THE MOVIE IS.

CERA: It's kind of like 'The Life of Brian' but not similar tonally. It takes place kind of in year one.

QUESTION: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER AT ALL?

CERA:  I play Jack Black's best friend. He kind of goes on this journey to find an answer to life and I follow him.

M-P: Has it been cast yet?

CERA: I don't know. I don't know if anyone else is cast. The table read had a lot of great people. If they used everyone from the table, it would be real awesome - David Cross, Jonah and Paul Rudd--a lot of funny people. Stanley Tucci. He's funny.

QUESTION: WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU BEING IN THIS MOVIE?

M-P: Most of my friends have seen it and there will be a screening in a week or two. I got 30 of my friends in for free. They'll see it soon enough.

QUESTION: ARE THEY ACTORS TOO?

M-P: They were in my drama class in high school.

QUESTION: ARE THEY AND YOU GOING TO COLLEGE?

M-P: They are. When I get back from Europe I'm going to go to junior college because I missed a couple of classes that I need to retake. But I'm going to try and get another acting job.

QUESTION: WERE YOU CONFIDENT YOU'D NAILED THE AUDITION FOR SUPERBAD?

M-P: No. They didn't call me back for two weeks so I didn't think I got it at all. Because I was 17, there were legal issues. When they finally called me I was excited.

QUESTION: HOW CLOSE DID YOU GUYS STICK TO THE SCRIPT?

CERA: Well, we would do a bunch of takes. Then you're kind of encouraged to say whatever you wanted.

M-P: The script was hilarious.

CERA: Yeah. The table-read that we did, where we were just reading off the page with no improvising at all got a lot of laughs. It was funny just reading it. It wasn't a necessity to improvise.

M-P: But it added.

CERA: Yeah. It kind of keeps it fresh.

QUESTION: DID JUDD APATOW COME ON THE SET A LOT?

CERA: He was on the set once in a while, not too much though. He kind of would depend on the people he hires people that he really trusts and then discusses it al lot, like a night beforehand and goes over everything and makes sure we're all on the same level, and then he just kind of leaves each of us to our own devices. And Sony, they weren't like interjecting too much. I haven't done any movies like this. But the way everyone else is talking, it seems pretty rare.

QUESTION: HOW DID YOU BECOME A PART OF THAT APATOW EMPIRE OR WHATEVER, AND HAVE YOU BEEN A FAN FOR A WHILE?

M-P: I'm so happy about it. When I auditioned for the movie I had no idea it was an Apatow movie. When I realized it, I was so happy that I got in with this group of people.

CERA:  Yeah. I loved his show. I've had the DVD for years. I loved "Freaks & Geeks" and "Undeclared."

M-P: "Anchorman" was one of my favorite comedies when it came out. Everything he does is genius, really.

CERA:  They hire people, they cast people that they trust and believe in and just kind of let them figure it out on their own. It's pretty rare.

QUESTION: MICHAEL, DO YOU EVER THINK BACK ON 'ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT'?

DO YOU EVER REMINISCE ON THE SHOW? WHAT ARE YOUR MEMORIES OF IT?

CERA: Yeah. It was filmed here, on this lot, the first year. It was strange coming back. Yeah. I just remember it being a lot of fun. I remember getting most of schooling experience on it, admiring everyone on it and trying to listen to everything that Will Arnett and David Cross and Jeffrey Tambor would say, and memorize it. Kind of soak in everything. Being really excited making the show and feeling really good about it. Yeah. It was nice.

QUESTION: WERE YOU SURPRISED HOW LONG IT CARRIED ON?

CERA: Yeah. I was. Yeah. I was definitely surprised. I was surprised that we got a back 9 in the first season. Everyone was. That was a big surprise, because it was really apparent that the ratings weren't going to up and a lot of people would be watching the show. I think that's apparent actually when they put us after 'American Idol' one night, which they did with a lot of shows, it would give them a good chance, by putting them after 'American Idol' and see how much of that audience we can retain. I remember, it was like the numbers were the same as they ever were. No one was going to watch it. I was just surprised when they kept picking it up. It was a good show. It went 3 years. I think that's a good amount of time. Any longer, it might have fizzled out. I don't mind it ending early. I didn't mind that.

QUESTION: AS YOUR CAREER GETS BIGGER IF A POSSIBILITY OF A MOVIE CAME AROUND WOULD YOU STILL BE INTERESTED?

CERA: Yeah. If it was everyone involved. It would be great.

QUESTION: WHAT WOULD IT TAKE OR YOU TO GO BACK TO IT?

CERA: A really good script, I guess. That'd be it. That's all you can really ask for.

QUESTION: I'M JUST CURIOUS. WHAT DO YOU GUYS WATCH IN THE SUMMER?

WHAT'S YOUR THING?

CERA: I'm really waiting for ‘The Darjeeling Limited’ and 'There Will Be Blood.' Those are coming out around the same time.

M-P: 'Walk Hard' 'The Ten."

CERA:  And David Wayne has like an internet show that he's doing. He's really awesome. The next Tim Burton movie.

M-P: Sweeney Todd. That'll be awesome.

CERA: 'American Gangster.'

QUESTION: WHEN YOU WERE AT COMIC-CON, DID YOU WALK THE CONVENTION FLOOR AT ALL?

CERA: Yeah. I bought Ernie Hudson's autograph and a Ghostbuster t-shirt. We had a Big Lebowski bobble head that we bought for Jonah because he was napping. We lost the bag, though. Someone's going to hit the motherlode.

QUESTION: I WAS JUST WONDERING AS FAR AS YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE, HOW IS YOUR LIFE LIKE THESE CHARACTERS? ALCOHOL AND GIRLS?

CERA: I think that's kind of the their way to take their mind off the fact that they're separating in the movie. I remember it wasn't hard to get alcohol. You can ask someone's older brother. The way that Seth talks about girls in the movie and he seems so well versed in them, but he obviously knows nothing about them. That all to me just seems like a big front, to hide what's really going on with him.

QUESTION: JUST IN YOUR OWN INNER CIRCLE, OR JUST HAVING FRIENDS YOUR AGE AND STUFF, DO THEY PARTY LIKE THIS?

CERA: Most of my friends in high school had girlfriends that they were dating for a year. I was the only one without one. Well, it's not that bad. But yeah, I don't remember them talking about girls or needing to get alcohol that much.

QUESTION: DO YOU SEE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE 'ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT'

AND JUDD APATOW'S SENSE OF HUMOR THAT REALLY SUITS YOU?

CERA: Yeah. I think so. I think Freaks & Geeks was kind of a similar in feel as 'Arrested' maybe. It was all the character-based humor and they're kind of been declared. I would say so.

QUESTION: DO YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO COME AND VISIT YOU WHILE YOU'RE FILMING, KNOWING IT WAS A JUDD APATOW FILM?

M-P: I had friends visit me on set, not because of Judd, but because I was there. I had two friends that came by a lot.

CERA: Yeah. Martin Star, Nick Casanova.

QUESTION: WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?

M-P: The Valley. Woodland Hills. That area. It was a lot of work but everyone was so welcoming, that it was fun.

WHERE'D YOU SHOOT?

M-P: Northridge. It was an awesome first movie. I can be pickier on the next one. I don't want to do something not awesome. I want to take my time time.

CERA: This one's more collaborative than most movies.  There's no rush.

QUESTION: DO YOU THINK THIS WILL MAKE IT HARD TO GO OUT WITHOUT BEING RECOGNIZED?

CERA: It's a different scale. I can always just stay home. Nobody really recognizes me at home.

QUESTION: HOW DID YOU FIND THE WHOLE WHITE 70'S LIKE OVERLAY IN THIS?

CERA: I loved it. I think that came from Greg too basically. He took the title "Superbad," and came up with the soundtrack and everything, that whole funk thing. I think that all came from him. He watched a lot of old movies and stuff. I thought it was a great idea. I think it works really well.

QUESTION: FOR THE THIS GENERATION, THIS COULD VERY WELL BE THEIR FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH?

CERA: Like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Rushmore.

M-P: That's what everyone's been saying, I would love that. This could definitely be like a cult movie.

CERA: That would be great.
