American Pie defined a generation as the hilarious teen sex comedy to watch for anyone who grew up in the 90s and early 00s.

Starring an ensemble cast, it followed the story of five male best friends in high school who make a pact to lose their virginity before they graduate. Naturally, hilarity ensues as they each try to accomplish this, and the film spawned three sequels.

Her last known appearance was on reality competition series Celebrity Big Brother 8 in the U.K. She has some upcoming projects including a comedy spoof called The Hungover Games. In American Pie, she played Vicky Lathum, Kevin’s girlfriend who was a virgin and became his target once the boys devised their pact to lose their virginity before graduation.

She’ll be seen next in Shia LaBeouf’s autobiographical film Honey Boy. While she went through health and addiction troubles in the early 00s, it’s clear Lyonne is on a great path now.

Mena Suvari - $7 million

An actor, fashion designer, and model, Suvari is arguably better known for her role in the 1999 film American Beauty than she is from her role in the American Pie films as Heather Gardner. She continued to act on the big screen after this movie, appearing in films like Slums of Beverly Hills, Rumor Has It, and Sugar & Spice.

She also had a recurring role in HBO drama Six Feet Under and was in the second season of Chicago Fire in 2013.

She also makes coin through modeling for Lancome cosmetics and Lancome Paris Adaptive.

Eddie Kaye Thomas - $7 million

Known from the film as Paul Finch, nicknamed “s*** break” because he refused to use the public restrooms at school, Thomas rose to fame from this role. He also appeared in the Harold & Kumar movies. But he gained more recent exposure on the CBS series Scorpion where he played a brilliant yet arrogant psychiatrist, Dr. Tobias “Toby” M. Curtis.

He has also padded his wallet through appearing in commercials for brands like Blockbuster Video, Snickers, and Nike, and voicing the character of Barry Robinson on American Dad! since 2005.

Jennifer Coolidge - $8 million

Playing “Stiffler’s mom” Jeanine in the movies, who had romantic rendezvous’ with Finch, Coolidge has gained most of her recognition with the new generation from this role. She has also appeared in the Legally Blonde films as well as on CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls.

Her other notable roles include the evil stepmother in A Cinderella Story and Betty in The Secret Life of the American Teenager. She has also done voice work, including voicing the character of Mary Meh in The Emoji Movie, and appeared in Ariana Grande’s music video for "Thank U, Next."

Shannon Elizabeth - $9 million

This former fashion model is known for a number of comedic movies, including Scary Movie and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. She has also appeared in horror films like Cursed, Jack Frost, and Thirteen Ghosts.

She has shifted her focus away from acting, running a non-profit animal rescue organization in South Africa. She did, however, appear on Celebrity Big Brother in 2018 and is set to reprise her role in a Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. She also previously earned money through her poker career.

Jason Biggs - $13 million

Eugene Levy - $18 million

A comedic genius, Levy has been known for decades for his time on Canadian sketch comedy show SCTV. He went on to have a successful career on TV and in movies, appearing in films like Splash, National Lampoon’s Vacation, and Multiplicity.

Most recently, he headed up the cast on the popular series Schitt’s Creek, which he and his son created together (his son stars in it as well). A sixth and final season of the series will debut in January 2020.

Seann William Scott - $25 million

One of the most popular characters from the movie, Scott played Steve Stifler, the obnoxious party guy who was always trying to make fun of the group while clearly wanting to be friends with them.

It’s not surprising that Scott went on to snag more roles, including Dude, Where’s My Car? in which he starred opposite Ashton Kutcher, Road Trip, and The Dukes of Hazzard. He has also been the voice of Crash in all four Ice Age movies.

Most recently, he portrayed Wesley Cole in the Lethal Weapon TV series. Cumulatively, films in which he has starred have earned $4.91 billion at the global box office, making him a pretty bankable star.

Alyson Hannigan - $30 million

Hannigan was already pretty famous when she made flute playing popular thanks to her innocent/not-so-innocent girl character Michelle Flaherty in the films. She was known previously for her role in the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

But, of late, Hannigan’s most well-known role is that of Lily Aldrin on the long-running sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Since that show ended, she has kept busy with other acting gigs, including hosting the TV series Penn & Teller: Fool Us and playing Kim’s mother in the Disney Channel movie Kim Possible. She has additional projects in the works so expect to see more from her soon.
