[1] Jay Baruchel has built a nice career playing lovable nerds, but for his newest role he'll be transforming himself into a full-on rock star. The former Undeclared actor has signed on to star in The Rebel Kind, based on a memoir by John Armstrong.

Jay Baruchel: Rock star?
Believe it. The "Superbad" star has played a number of great roles in his nearly 20 years as an actor, but there's one type of part that seems to always elude him: the cool kid. That is, until now.
Variety reports Baruchel will be ditching the lovable nerd roles of years past for a part as a member of pioneering Canadian punk band The Modernettes in "The Rebel Kind."
The film, based on Modernettes lead singer Buck Cherry's autobiography and directed by Reg Harkema, tells the story of the Vancouver band's rise to fame and their eventual decision to walk away from the spotlight.

"A lot of people don't realize that Vancouver was a huge hotbed of musical...
