Every morning she had a duck party, she would wake up very early and tune her guitar and warm up her voice, and it taught me that you could take performance seriously. I think a lot of actors have trouble taking things seriously, ... but it's really like anything else in the world ... So it gave me the confidence to take it seriously and not make me feel silly for indulging in a role." — Eisenberg, on the influence his mother's previous job as a children's clown had on his acting [ 4 ] Jesse Adam Eisenberg [ 5 ] was born in Astoria, Queens (NYC) and grew up in East Brunswick, New Jersey . [ 6 ] His mother, Amy ( nĂ©e  Fishman ), who now teaches cross-cultural sensitivity in hospitals, previously worked as a clown named Bonabini at children's parties and as a director/choreographer for a high school for 20 years. [ 4 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] She was also a Socialist Zionist and member of the Hashomer Hatzair youth organization. [ 9 ] His father, Barry Eisenberg, drove a taxicab, then worked at a hospital, and later became a college professor, teaching sociology. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] [ 12 ] He has two sisters: Hallie Eisenberg , a former child actress who was once famous as the " Pepsi Girl " in a series of commercials; and Kerri Eisenberg, now Kerry Lea, [ 13 ] who also worked as an actress, [ 14 ] ran a vegetarianism - and animal rights -based children's theatre troupe, [ 15 ] and is now an independent artist in New York.

[ 21 ] He then transferred to the Professional Performing Arts School in New York for his senior year. When he was a senior, he received his breakthrough role in the independent comedy-drama film Roger Dodger . [ 10 ] His work in the film prevented him from enrolling at New York University . [ 22 ] [ 23 ] Instead, he studied anthropology and contemporary architecture at The New School in Greenwich Village, [ 24 ] where he majored in liberal arts , with a focus on democracy and cultural pluralism . [ 23 ] Eisenberg struggled to fit in at school due to an anxiety disorder , and began acting in plays at an early age.

[ 26 ] He had his first professional role in Arje Shaw 's off-Broadway play The Gathering at age 16. [ 27 ] He said, "When playing a role, I would feel more comfortable, as you're given a prescribed way of behaving." [ 28 ] Eisenberg started writing screenplays at 16, some of which were optioned by major studios, but he claimed that he was dissatisfied with the lack of control he had over his creations once they were sold. [ 26 ] He once got into trouble with Woody Allen 's lawyers when, as a teenager, he penned a play about how Allen came to change his name and managed to get the script to Allen's "people." Instead of a seal of approval, he received cease and desist letters from Allen's attorney. [ 29 ] [ 30 ] Eisenberg later starred in two films directed by Allen, To Rome with Love [ 31 ] and CafĂ© Society . [ 32 ] [ 33 ] [ 34 ] 1999–2008: Early work [ edit ] Eisenberg made his television debut in the series Get Real , from 1999 to 2000.

[ 44 ] Eisenberg said that meeting the man he portrayed on-screen was "an overwhelming experience," and was happy that "we were both able to have fun at the situation."

He was on set for one day of filming in 2007, earned about $3,000 , [ 55 ] and logged only a few minutes of total screen time. [ 56 ] Because of his minimal involvement in the production, he was surprised to see that his face was prominently featured on the cover of the DVD , implying that he starred in the film. His lawsuit asserts various California law causes of action , including claims for unfair business practices and publicity rights . [ 57 ] Eisenberg at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con In 2013, Eisenberg reunited with Woody Harrelson for the magician heist thriller Now You See Me , playing a world-famous close-up magician and street performer recruited into a secret group of elite magicians to pull off bank heists with magic tricks, redistributing the money from a wealthy businessman ( Michael Caine ) to victims of his corrupt capitalist schemes.
