Michael Cera stars as "Nick" Credit: Columbia Pictures

You know the type; soft-spoken, really cute but not aware of it, sorta nerdy and a heart of gold? Young actor Michael Cera is our latest cinema poster child for this particular brand of heartthrob. After his Juno role, Michael is again playing an unlikely leading man in the fun new romantic comedy Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist about a guy and gal thrust together for one hilarious, sleepless night of adventure in a world of mix tapes, late-night living and live, loud music. Sounds like a solid party to us!

Nick (Cera) frequents New York's indie rock scene nursing a broken heart and a vague ability to play the bass. He meets Norah (Kat Dennings) who is questioning pretty much all of her assumptions about the world including her user boyfriend. Although they have nothing in common except for their taste in music, their chance encounter leads to an all-night quest to find a legendary band's secret show and ends up becoming the first date in a romance that could change both their lives.

TeenHollywood.com sat down with the unassuming, gentlemanly Michael at the recent Toronto International Film Festival and here's what he had to tell us about his new movie, acting in general, his love of music and his upcoming projects: (We chat with Kat in a separate interview)
