Our Favorite Stars From The American Pie Films and Where They Are Today

Quirky and often inappropriate comedies are a tradition in Hollywood, but in the late '90s, they became an escape, and many of these films were released and produced. Of course, the popularity of this type of movie may never have reached the plateau it has if not for American Pie and its subsequent films. These movies launched a ton of young actors into stardom, and we thought it would be cool to look at where our favorite stars from the American Pie films are now.
