The former friends met in 1999 on the set of the series Freaks and Geeks when Seth was 17 and James was 21. They went on to collaborate on multiple projects together, including Pineapple Express, This Is the End, The Interview, and The Disaster Artist.
In 2014, James told the New York Times that his friendship with Seth was so powerful that he had written poems about it.
The actors began to drift apart as James faced increasing accusations of s**ual harassment. In 2014, the Deuce actor, then 35, admitted to messaging and attempting to meet up with a 17-year-old girl.
Four years later, five students from James’ acting school, Studio 4, came forward to the LA Times, accusing the star of inappropriate or exploitative behavior. In 2019, another student alleged that James engaged in "widespread inappropriate and s**ually charged behavior toward female students."
Seth told the Sunday Times in 2021 that the allegations had "changed many things in our relationship and our dynamic." He also stated he didn’t plan to work with his former friend again.
