I wish Michael Cera would play a new role in movies...

To be fair even though he always plays the awkward teen, he plays a wide range of awkward teens. The awkward teen he plays in Juno is different from the Awkward teen he plays Scott Pilgrim (Best film ever!). If you get what I mean (He can be dramatic and he can be comedic).

But no, he is stereotyped as the awkward teen, why? Because he is an awkward teen. If he were to play an alcoholic abusive husband or a suave sophisticated spy, then it just wouldn't work. Maybe he'll have a revolution in his acting at some point in the future (Leslie Nielsen style) and he'll begin to fit other roles better. But until then, we can just appreciate him for the actor he is.

It's funny because I just saw that one movie where he's in space and it's based off of the Tempest.  It's crazy how much he's changed.

Forbidden planet, yeah, that's a really good film and I always use it as an example to show how much his acting changed over the years.
