Adam Devine has been in more movies than you probably realize. He was in Mama’s Boy, When We First Met, Ice Age, The Lego Batman Movie, Pitch Perfect 2, and more. And while landing a role in those films was impressive, they’re probably not what you know him for. You know him for the now over but long-running role on the TV show, Workaholics.

Not only did he play one of the three main characters on that show, but he co-produced it and helped write the scenes. He was even partly in charge of casting, hiring three of his best friends to play alongside him. That’s part of what makes the show so convincing – the three main characters are also best friends in real life!

The Life of Adam Devine

Jexi, tell me about Adam Devine’s life. “OK, Adam Devine is from Iowa and moved to LA in 2006. There he created the comedy group Mail Order Comedy, with friends Blake Anderson, Anders Holm, and Kyle Newacheck.

The group made YouTube videos and put out an album in 2009, with 14 different comedic songs. Their work helped get the group noticed by Comedy Central, who eventually hired them for a show. Should I continue?” No, thank you Jexi, that’s enough.

Not Just a Workaholic

Adam has bigger aspirations than just creating and co-directing a TV show. He’s also a stand up comic and a successful actor. He got his first main character role in the movie Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates in 2016 and followed it up with a lead role in “Jexi”, which came out last year. We’re sure we’ll see more of him in the years to come, both on-screen and off – as his gigs start selling out bigger and bigger venues.
