The American Pie flicks are certainly among the funniest comedies to have come out in the early 2000s. These films catapulted a slew of young performers to popularity, and we thought it would be fun to see where our favorite American Pie actors are now.
Alyson Hannigan – Michelle Flaherty
Michelle Flaherty probably launched Alyson Hannigan into big-screen prominence after playing the important role of the band geek. She returned to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, although she also appeared as a guest star on several other shows. She would then appear on How I Met Your Mother for nine seasons.

He has also worked in television and has done some voice work. He recently had a Fox sitcom called Outmatched.

Eugene Levy already had a solid career, but the American Pie films and his performance as Jim’s father catapulted him to new heights.

He has also done some voice work and appeared in the critically praised show Schitt’s Creek.

Jennifer Coolidge – Stifler’s Mom

She has also been in various television series and has a number of projects in the works.
