<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
At the beginning of our sweeping and surprisingly revelatory conversation, legendary Hollywood actor\u2014and more recently, director\u2014Seth Green, said something so insightful, so spot-on that I could\u2019ve stopped our interview right then and there and would\u2019ve still been able to discern the rest.<\/p>\n
I was in the middle of telling the three-time Emmy winner how I, too, lived in LA for several years selling television shows and producing films, and that without exception every entertainment executive would tell me that coming from New York City, I was so \u201cauthentic\u201d and a \u201cbreath of fresh air\u201d before never hearing from them again about a project they had supposedly \u201cloved.\u201d Without skipping a beat, a clearly amused Green says, \u201cIsn\u2019t it funny, Richard? They compliment exactly the quality that doesn\u2019t exist in them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bingo. Game over. Hollywood distilled to a singular sentence. This chat was going to be fun. I wasn\u2019t wrong.<\/p>\n
Born in Philadelphia, but having grown up, as he says, \u201cbetween Philly and New York,\u201d Green came to Los Angeles with a decidedly East Coast swagger and truth-telling that caught on and hasn\u2019t let go in decades and decades of quality work. His IMDB credits are as eye-popping and befitting a genuine acting superstar.<\/p>\n
Roll the tape.<\/p>\n
![\"Seth](\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/SethGreen-ScottHutchinson_12-1.jpeg\")
<\/a>In no particular order, Green has appeared in myriad impactful films including Pump Up The Volume<\/em>, Can\u2019t Hardly Wait<\/em>, Big Business<\/em>, Party Monster<\/em>, The Italian Job<\/em>, Can\u2019t Buy Me Love<\/em> and, my runaway favorite, his portrayal as Dr. Evil\u2019s son, Scott Evil, in the smash Austin Powers<\/em> franchise. How an actor can have the range to move seamlessly from, say, his wannabe rapper role as Kenny Fisher in Can\u2019t Hardly Wait<\/em> to portraying the real-life infamous Club Kid James St. James in the intense Party Monster<\/em>, is difficult enough; but the fact that Green never lets the audience see the work he\u2019s putting in to a given performance comes across as \u201cnot really acting\u201d when the exact opposite is the truth. I call that quality so many actors have, including Streep, Penn, Cruise, McDormand and more, the \u201cburden of talent.\u201d These and other staggeringly gifted actors aren\u2019t given full credit for the work they\u2019re doing because the audience can\u2019t see that work on the big screen. It seems effortless. Seth Green is one such thespian with a hefty burden of talent. He\u2019s among the best doing the thing, and not everyone is aware.<\/p>\n Green sweetly swats any of that praise talk away. \u201cI haven\u2019t spent my time focused on how to achieve accolades,\u201d Green says, smiling. \u201cI like the process. I really love performing. My favorite moment is in between \u2018action!\u2019<\/em> and \u2018cut!\u2019<\/em> When I get to do the thing with other people who are great at it, that\u2019s the best version of it.\u201d<\/p>\n As accomplished as his film bonafides are, his television CV is something else altogether: eclectic, fearless, memorable. It\u2019s nearly impossible to fathom that Green has been starring in TV shows for more than four decades: from ABC Afterschool Specials<\/em> (remember those?) to his ongoing 20-year reign as mastermind\u2014co-creator (with Matthew Senreich), executive producer, writer, director and primary voice actor\u2014 of the genius that is the six-time Emmy-winning juggernaut, Robot Chicken<\/em>, the Cartoon Network\u2019s Adult Swim stop-motion animated sketch comedy that\u2019s a legit global sensation.<\/p>\n Besides his countless memorable roles in literally dozens of televised series\u2014Oz on Buffy The Vampire Slayer<\/em>, Mitch Miller on That \u201970s Show<\/em>, Wayne on Beverly Hills 90210<\/em>\u2014there are two particular Seth Green performances I\u2019m most interested in: the first is one I still think about and loved; the second is one, well, everyone loved.<\/p>\n Greg The Bunny<\/em> only aired 11 episodes on Fox back in 2002 with Green starring alongside a hand puppet (all of the puppets on the show preferred to be called \u201cfabricated Americans\u201d), Eugene Levy and Sarah Silverman. The genius show was co-created by my friend Kevin Chinoy, four-time Oscar-winner Sean Baker (Anora<\/em>) and Dan Milano. If you have a chance for a fun binge weekend watch, this show is it. Think Ted<\/em>, the potty-mouthed teddy bear, before Ted<\/em>. So. Funny.<\/p>\n But, in the most unlikely of worlds, a three-episode arc playing an exaggerated version of himself on HBO\u2019s mid-aughts hit comedy, Entourage<\/em>, took Green to a whole other level of excellence. The Seth Green version he delivered was as hilarious, as nasty, as clever, as unforgettable as the actual Seth Green has arguably ever been. I mean\u2026 \u201cYo, E, tell Sloan I said, \u2018what up\u2019.\u201d<\/em> \u201cJackson Pollock.\u201d<\/em> #IYKYK<\/p>\n \u201cThe thing I like most about the Jackson Pollock line is that I loved the idea that this \u2018Seth Green\u2019 is literate and informed, but he\u2019s also kind of gross,\u201d Green says, really enjoying the memory of that performance. \u201cThe weaponization of sophistication for insult is the most sophisticated thing one could be. I love that so much. It was fun.\u201d<\/p>\n So, in the context of Green only participating in things he loves, it stands to reason that when his attention turned to business\u2014specifically the launch earlier this year of Hellbent Cocktails, his premium, ready-to-drink, canned cocktail brand\u2014the genesis of the concept was first a failed sketch for Robot Chicken<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t set out to diversify into the corporate world,\u201d he says. \u201cIt feels like an extension into a space I already inhabit. Hellbent started as a parody sketch for a moonshine canned cocktail with a werewolf popping out saying \u2018I\u2019ll kill you with this!\u2019 But then we discussed how the ready-to-drink category is spreading and how this generation is longing for something more predictable when they go out. When a drink is poured at a sports venue or a rock concert, it\u2019s unpredictable. We realized there wasn\u2019t a product that tastes good, has good shit in it and it\u2019s strong. In fact, Hellbent\u2019s promise is \u2018two drinks in every can.\u2019 The ABV [alcohol by volume] on this is bananas. Our No.1 slogan with these drinks is \u2018call a cab.\u2019 Hellbent spirits have a personality that you\u2019re imbibing for the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, yeah. With flavor names Dirty Shirley, Spicy Rita, Water Hazard and Corpse Reviver, it\u2019s not hard to fathom these cocktails having strong, um, personalities.<\/p>\n Enter Jeeter. As the industry knows, this colossal outfit is the top-selling cannabis and lifestyle brand famous for its high-potency infused pre-rolls.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not very public about any of my things, but I smoke a lot of weed,\u201d Green says. \u201cBeing an elevated [cannabis] consumer, I connected with the Jeeter guys as soon as I discovered them. My wife and I thought it\u2019d be a good idea to meet the owners of the company that has the best pre-rolls in the business\u2014from the branding\u2019s sophistication to the product itself. It all led to meeting the owners of Jeeter\u2014you know it\u2019s run by two sets of twin brothers [Sebastian Solano, David Solano, Lukasz Tracz, Patryk Tracz] and my wife and I have always been fascinated by twins.\u201d<\/p>\n This is precisely when I tell Seth Green that I\u2019m, in fact, a twin. The beloved Hollywood fixture nearly fell out of his chair. \u201cGet the fuck out of here! You are?! What?! Oh! My! God! That\u2019s incredible!\u201d<\/em> Our instant connection was making more sense to me by the minute.<\/p>\n \u201cI started talking to the Jeeter guys about a movie I\u2019m directing that stars me and Steve Agee coincidentally as twins who open a weed dispensary based on a magic strain of weed that Steve\u2019s character develops called Gadzooks,\u201d Green says. \u201cThat\u2019s where this whole thing with Jeeter started, by wanting to make a movie that lies somewhere between Pee-Wee\u2019s Big Adventure<\/em> and Delicatessen<\/em>\u2014an alt-world comedy. So, I called up the twins, and asked, \u2018would you guys do something with me?\u2019 \u2018would you do a Gadzooks strain and we could go through the entire process?\u2019 Well, I\u2019m so excited about it because Jeeter is so\u2026these guys are so<\/em> real. They don\u2019t bullshit around the way they develop their products. Jeeter cares mostly about the vibe. They want people to think of Jeeter and think of this vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the fun, smart part of this Jeeter\/Seth Green collab: The product serves as the de facto marketing campaign for the upcoming movie.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m directing the Gadzooks product commercial in ten days in the style and format of how I\u2019m directing the movie,\u201d he says. \u201cThe Gadzooks product will be out well in advance of the movie coming out by the end of 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n Just when we\u2019re about to dig deeper about Green\u2019s relationship with weed, his three-year-old daughter joyously interrupts our convo showing dad a colorful unicorn Lego art piece she created. I must say that it was something else watching the actor we all know for so, so many years, relate to his beautiful child so sweetly and gently. If we didn\u2019t consciously know it before, we should know it now: Seth Green is an excellent father.<\/p>\n Back to weed.<\/p>\n \u201cMy relationship with cannabis is all flower and vapes,\u201d he says, grinning. He proceeds to reveal why he has that cat-who-ate-the-canary smile on his face in the form of what he tells me is a present from Jeeter that requires a big breath in. At that moment, I was talking to a happy man indeed.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know, Richard, I have a great relationship with weed,\u201d he says. \u201cCannabis has solved a lot of problems Western chemicals have been unable to solve. I didn\u2019t come back to weed until my twenties after suffering from such intense insomnia because I couldn\u2019t still my mind. A buddy of mine suggested I smoke a little weed to fight off the insomnia, and it was at that time I realized that, yeah, this could be a solution for me. It quieted the turbulent, urgent part of my brain enough for me to sleep and be more focused. When California legalized recreational weed, then I was all in. [Laughs<\/em>] That\u2019s all to say, that I have what I believe is a healthy and beneficial relationship to weed.\u201d<\/p>\n When I mention how Woody Harrelson and Snoop Dogg were two of my more recent interviews I\u2019ve done on the topic and how I had asked them to reveal their weed \u201cMount Rushmore,\u201d Green jumps in.<\/p>\n \u201cRichard, I read your Woody Harrelson cover story in Cannabis Now<\/em> where you wrote that everyone you know in LA has a Woody story; well, I do, too!\u201d he says. \u201cI won\u2019t disclose my age, but Woody\u2019s the first person I ever smoked hash with. So, as far as a Mount Rushmore of weed, for me it\u2019d be great to reconnect with Woody as an adult, since I loved the last time we did that. Also, Willie Nelson would be super fun, too. He\u2019s the guy who\u2019s been advocating for this forever and he\u2019s still so artistic and full of joy. I\u2019d really like to hang with him for a second. Let\u2019s see\u2026We\u2019ve never smoked together, but Seth Rogen would be such a great person to have in the mix. Rogen\u2019s always been so absurdly talented. And the fourth person up there is obviously Snoop because I\u2019ve smoked with him an uncountable amount of times. That collection of people\u2014Woody, Willie, Rogen, Snoop and me\u2014can you imagine?<\/em> What a great day that would be.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAny of those guys the biggest stoner in Hollywood?\u201d I ask Green. \u201cNope\u2014that\u2019d be Jeff Bridges,\u201d he says, laughing. \u201cAnd, back in the day, Harrison Ford.\u201d<\/p>\n When the talk turns to revealing the real Seth Green away from the big characters he\u2019s always been known for, he says there aren\u2019t any huge reveals people would be surprised about, save perhaps how he\u2019s always loved painting, and more tactile pursuits, be it \u201cmaking something or writing something\u2014but it\u2019s always doing something physical. Sometimes, I\u2019ll just go work in my yard. But, lately, it\u2019s just me hanging with my kid; that kid needs all of my energy. Picking her up has become my main source of exercise.\u201d [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n As we round the corner to the denouement of our engaging hang\u2014and were duly impressed by another colorful Lego creation (this one featuring a pink heart) from Green\u2019s adorable fair-haired daughter\u2014I ask him if not acting, what would he be doing?<\/p>\n \u201cI probably would be into comics or toys,\u201d he says. \u201cThat\u2019s the stuff I was mostly interested in.\u201d Then, I suddenly remembered his multiple-episode arc on Tim Kring\u2019s brilliant and terrifying sci-fi show on NBC, Heroes<\/em>, starring Zachary Quinto, Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere, where Green and Breckin Meyer played comic book shop owners in a parallel universe. \u201cOh man, I fucking<\/em> love that show,\u201d Green says. \u201cWhat could be better than me and Breckin, two comic book nerds, playing those characters?\u201d<\/p>\n OK, on to the last question.<\/p>\n Seth Green is\u2026 Truthfully, I\u2019m hoping for an answer that\u2019ll linger in my soul.<\/p>\n \u201cSeth Green is\u2026still doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n Mission accomplished. I got the answer I wanted. Seth Green is<\/em> still doing it. And it\u2019s nothing short of awesome.<\/p>\n This story was originally published in issue 54 of the\u00a0print edition<\/a>\u00a0of Cannabis Now.<\/em><\/p>\n The post [Exclusive] Seth Green, All In<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
