Hill began his career performing one-scene plays that he wrote and performed at the gritty Black & White bar in New York City. After landing a role in David O'Russell's I HEART HUCKABEES with Dustin Hoffman and Lilly Tomlin Hill was next seen in Judd Apatow's 2005 summer hit comedy THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN with Steve Carell.
