8 Seann William Scott in American Pie

Another unexpected hit that would define the genre was American Pie, a low-budget comedy for teens that became a worldwide phenomenon and spawned an entire series. The show made many of its cast members Hollywood stars, including Tara Reid, Chris Klein, and Jason Biggs. Seann Williams Scott’s role as Stifler, a super-gross star, is, without doubt, the most memorable aspect of American Pie.

Scott, like many of his co-stars, was nearly unknown when American Pie came out. Scott had no prior experience beyond a Sunny Delight commercial and an Aerosmith video. American Pie’s success quickly earned him huge salaries in films such as Dude, Where’s My Car? All the American Pie sequels.
