Seann William Scott is one of those actors who was totally unknown before stepping into an instantly iconic role. Playing Stifler in "American Pie" and its various sequels, Scott found a way to make a borderline sociopathic character more than a little bit lovable, and he earned himself a lasting career in the process. Though he has never achieved the knockout success of the "Pie" movies, it's not for lack of trying. Like many comedic actors, Scott found himself pigeonholed in roles similar to the immortal Stifler. Even so, Scott doesn't seem to be unhappy with the situation, and he's been showing some signs of moving beyond his perpetually juvenile character's limitations. This is why Seann William Scott was never the same after "American Pie."
