My Take
I have a genuine soft spot for Christopher Mintz-Plasse, because McLovin might be the most quotable teenage geek ever put on screen — and the wild thing is, he was basically a real teenager when he filmed Superbad in 2007, with zero professional acting experience. That earnest, awkward energy was largely just him. What impressed me later was how he leaned into the villain lane with Red Mist and then The Mother F**ker in the Kick-Ass movies rather than desperately chasing leading-man roles he was never going to get; that self-awareness is actually pretty rare in Hollywood. He's done solid voice work too, lending that distinctive nasally charm to animated projects. He's never become a megastar, but he found his niche and owns it completely, which I respect more than a lot of careers that burned brighter and faded faster.
