Trivia

Jodie Foster’s production company, Egg Pictures, is named after Green’s character in The Hotel New Hampshire (1984), in which she also starred.

Has an older sister, Kaela Green.

He had a part filmed for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992); the part was left on the cutting room floor, but a still from the scene appeared on the read or the commercial release videocassette box. Seth eventually got to be in Buffy, though, on the TV series.

At 13-years-old he played Alyson Hannigan’s boyfriend ’Fred’ in My Stepmother Is an Alien (1988). Ten years later, at the age of 23, he played her boyfriend again when he landed the role of ’Oz’ on the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997).

Seth is thanked in the sleeve notes of Blink 182’s "Enema of the State". Blink also thanks Idle Hands (1999) and Can’t Hardly Wait (1998) — both movies featuring a Blink 182 song and coincidentally both have Seth Green in them.

Shares a birthday with Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil, his The Trumpet of the Swan (2001) co-star Mary Steenburgen, James Dean and Ethan Phillips.

Was once room-mates with crooner Brian Evans in California. In Macleans Magazine (Canada), Evans called the experience "Unfortunate for Seth" and "I wasn’t stable enough to live alone, never mind have a room-mate."

Named #7 of the Top Ten Sexiest Men of the Buffy / Angel universe in a fan poll by the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanzine (2004).

Not many people know that he was responsible for one of the most overused catchphrases of the 90s. In 1992 he appeared in commercial for Rally’s as an obnoxious drive-thru cashier who kept repeating the line "Cha-CHING!!" over and over again and the line entered the popular culture.

Based the gravelly voice of Chris Griffin in "Family Guy" (1999) on the Buffalo Bill character from The Silence of the Lambs (1991).

He played Lyle in The Italian Job (2003). His Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) co-star Michael Caine appeared in the original The Italian Job (1969).
