Seth Rogen: The New James Brown

Forget the Godfather of Soul! According to Forbes, the hardest working man in show business is -- drumroll please -- Seth Rogen! Huh? The financial magazine has come up with a list of the ten most industrious actors in Hollywood and Rogen tops the list by virtue of the fact that he appeared in 12 films released between January 2005 and December 2009 which grossed $20 million or more. There's a rub, of course: Forbes counts his voice work in Shrek the Third, Horton Hears a Who! and Kung-Fu Panda among the 12 -- and $20 million is a low bar -- but it's still rather impressive. Plus, here's guessing Sony feels a lot better about The Green Hornet after reading this. The top-ten after the jump.
