At a time when more Hollywood comedians are flaunting their loudness and lewdness, Jason Sudeikis' rise to stardom seems remarkably understated and subdued. <\/p>\n
Sure, there have been public romances with leading actresses (Sudeikis previously dated Mad Men's January Jones and he is now happily ensconced with Olivia Wilde and their 7-month-old son Otis). <\/p>\n
But, unlike many of his peers, Sudeikis hasn't had to apologise for politically incorrect rants that went viral, or launched a war on Twitter. <\/p>\n
He is never asked about any similarities between himself and the screwed-up characters he plays on screen - whether it's a family man going off the rails in Hall Pass or a small-time drug dealer in We're the Millers - for good reason. <\/p>\n
Sudeikis, 39, is now one of the hottest properties in Hollywood, having featured in four films that have grossed more than US$200 million ($258 million) worldwide in the past six years. <\/p>\n
He possesses a boyish, goofy comedic appeal, his relaxed mien enhanced by the fact that he's a late developer by Hollywood standards - he only acted in his first film in 2007. <\/p>\n
Sudeikis' new film, Horrible Bosses 2, is hardly understated or subdued. Horrible Bosses was a 2011 black comedy in which a trio of bitter workers played by Sudeikis, Jason Bateman and Charlie Day murdered their tyrannical managers. <\/p>\n
Most of the starry supporting players return for the sequel - Jennifer Aniston as a sex-crazed dentist, Kevin Spacey as a psychopathic CEO and Jamie Foxx as the ex-con \"murder consultant\". <\/p>\n
Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz is a millionaire investor who steals the workers' money. <\/p>\n
The success of Horrible Bosses took Hollywood off-guard, tapping into audiences' own experiences with micro-managing superiors in the workplace. <\/p>\n
