Taped at Blakes On Telegraph in Berkeley, CA., host Maaika Westen interviews actor Jay Baruchel and Nate Torrence about their career and comedy film, "She's Out of My League."

Jay Baruchel (plays Kirk Kettner on "She's Out of My League") began acting at age 12 when he landed a one-time guest appearance, which led to a recurring role on the Nickelodeon TV series, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, That role was followed by the Canadian series, My Hometown, and the Judd Apatow series, Undeclared.  He was in the Academy Award®-winning movie "Million Dollar Baby," as well as "Tropic Thunder," "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist," "Knocked Up," "Just Buried," "Real Time," "The Trotsky," and "Almost Famous." Also in development for Jay is "Johnny Klutz," in which he will play the title role of a character he created - a loveable loser who is impervious to pain. In addition, he will begin production on "Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse," a feature length film based on a short film of the same name that he completed with Seth Rogen.

Nate Torrence (plays Devon on "She's Out of My League") moved to Chicago and began studying at the Players Workshop of the Second City. After moving back home to Ohio, he founded his own theater troupe, which toured local coffee houses and theatres, among many other venues. When a Second City Theater opened in Cleveland, Nate continued to train and find outlets to perform. A few years later, he made the move to Los Angeles.  The actor got his first big breaks and gained national recognition for his work in commercials, the first notable national spot being for Golden Grahams cereal, as David Spade’s sidekick in the Capital One ads, and as the screaming Jetta test driver in a Volkswagen campaign. Some of the TV series he guested on include How I Met Your Mother, CSI, Malcolm in the Middle, Las Vegas, Girlfriends, Reno 911, One on One, as well as a recurring role on Ghost Whisperer, the Matthew Perry series The End of Steve, and as a regular on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Studio Synopsis for "She's Out of My League":
Can an average Joe and a brainy blonde bombshell find true happiness together? That’s the question at the center of She’s Out of My League, a refreshing, rambunctious romantic comedy from DreamWorks Pictures. When Kirk (Jay Baruchel), an airport security agent, catches the eye of a stunning party planner named Molly (Alice Eve), no one can believe it’s really happening—especially him!

A wildly entertaining combination of outrageous comic antics and old-fashioned romance, DreamWorks Pictures Presents A Mosaic Production, "She’s Out of My League" starring Jay Baruchel, Alice Eve, T.J. Miller, Mike Vogel, Nate Torrence, Krysten Ritter, Geoff Stults and Lindsay Sloane. The film is directed by Jim Field Smith. Written by Sean Anders & John Morris. The producers are Jimmy Miller and David Householter. The executive producer is George Gatins. The director of photography is Jim Denault. The production designer is Clayton Hartley. The film is edited by Dan Schalk. The costume designer is Molly Maginnis. The music is by Michael Andrews. The music supervisor is Deva Anderson. This film has been rated R for language and sexual content.

Twenty-something Kirk Kettner (Jay Baruchel) works as a TSA agent at the Pittsburgh airport. He still hangs out with his high school buddies and co-workers, Jack (Mike Vogel), Stainer (T.J. Miller) and Devon (Nate Torrence) and imagines of getting back together with his ex-girlfriend, Marnie (Lindsay Sloane), who has long since moved on. All in all, Kirk seems content to simply maintain the status quo—until the day Molly (Alice Eve) sashays through his security checkpoint at the airport and accidentally leaves her cell phone behind.

Molly is smart, sophisticated, devastatingly beautiful—and completely out of Kirk’s league. When Kirk returns the phone as a courtesy, she offers to repay the favor with a pair of hockey game tickets, and he accepts, never thinking for one second that this dream girl is asking him out on a date.

The pair couldn’t seem less suited to each other, a fact that Kirk’s friends and family waste no time pointing out to him. She, in Stainer’s words, is a “hard 10,” the top of the dating food chain, while Kirk is struggling to keep his status at five.

Nonetheless, Molly is determined to win him over and as Kirk struggles to understand why such a gorgeous girl would be interested in him, he starts to think maybe she sees something no one else can. After being wined and dined by the most beautiful woman he’s ever met, Kirk is finally starting to believe in himself and contemplate a different future. Then he makes a disastrous first impression on Molly’s upper-crust parents, and the relationship is over as quickly as it began.

With the “help” of his friends, Kirk launches an all-out attempt to win Molly back, with hilariously cringe-inducing results. With Molly’s dashing ex-boyfriend and Kirk’s suddenly possessive ex-girlfriend Marnie complicating his quest, Kirk attempts to prove that if you try hard enough, love can overcome even a five-point spread.
