Many say Michael Cera lacks range. He's played the awkward,
cousin-obsessed George Michael, the awkward university tour
guide on Veronica Mars, awkward Evan in Superbad and Paulie in
Juno ... you get the picture. But see, it wasn't always the way
of the terminally awkward. Before all that, he was a mental
murderer.  In an effort to show his range, Cera brought an old
clip with him to an interview with David Letterman. Back before
he hit Hollywood, when he was acting in Canadian TV and chilling
in the same hood as the real-life Lars and the Real Girl guy
(Brampton, Ontario), Cera had a brief guest role on La Femme
Nikita. It was back in 2000, and Cera played a kid named Jerome
who could not only control people's minds, but also kill them
with the power of his own little mind, as he's caught in some
weird foam fort thing.  So there's your range, although I think
seeing Cera with a crew cut, looking like a little, sporty punk
of a kid is much more shocking than his mental prowess. Check
out the clip for yourself
