Then and Now - The Cast of 'American Pie'
More than a decade after 'American Pie' reclaimed the R-rated teen comedy genre, the entire cast has reunited for a fourth and final installment of the franchise. See how they've changed over the years.

Jason Biggs as Jim
Back in 1999, audiences fell for Jason Biggs' portrayal of loveable loser Jim Levenstein, cringing at his clumsy awkwardness and rooting for the moment he actually got lucky. Both Biggs and his character have grown up quite a bit since American Pie, but while Jim is married with kids, Jason has yet to start a family with his wife of four years, Jenny Mollen.

Seann William Scott as Stifler
Despite branching out in films like Southland Tales and The Promotion, Seann William Scott is at his best as a lewd, ball-busting sidekick he perfected in American Pie. Scott, who has clearly aged since his breakout role, looks to be back to his old tricks in American Reunion. In the trailer alone, Stifler hits on high school girls and uses a ice chest as a toilet. Classic Stifler.

Chris Klein as Oz
As Chris 'Oz' Ostreicher, Chris Klein went from jock to the sensitive, romantic type, and in real life Klein went from hunky actor to viral video sensation thanks to some "leaked" auditions and Street Fighter mashups. Since American Pie, Klein has also had to battle off-screen issues, checking into rehab after being arrested twice in 5 years for driving while intoxicated. Hopefully, American Reunion will be a comeback of sorts.

Thomas Ian Nicholas as Kevin
Thomas Ian Nicholas has maintained a relatively low profile since American Pie. Now in his early 30s, the actor has added facial hair and rock 'n' roll to his resume. Nicholas has released two albums in the last four years, as well as toured all across the country. Recently, in addition to reprising his AP role as Kevin, Nicholas also paid homage to his Rookie of the Year performance by throwing out the first pitch at a 2010 Cubs game.

Eddie Kaye Thomas as Finch
Finch always thought of himself as more mature and sophisticated than his high school peers; now, Eddie Kaye Thomas looks like he's become the things his character always aspired to be. Whether or not he can finally poop in a public place remains to be seen.

Tara Reid as Vicky
Although she played the sweet and innocent Vicky in American Pie, Tara Reid went on to become something of a mess in the years following. From wardrobe malfunctions to drunken ramblings, Reid continued to make headlines. However, Tara, 36, seems to have cleaned up in recent years, looking better than ever at the premiere of American Reunion.

Alyson Hannigan as Michelle
Alyson Hannigan may be one of the most successful American Pie alums thanks to her How I Met Your Mother and Buffy the Vampire Slayer runs, but her most memorable on-screen moment still has to be her "one time at band camp" story. In addition to her lengthy acting resume, Hannigan is one of Hollywood's most adored moms, and, as you can see, she'll soon be adding another little one to the family.

Mena Suvari as Heather
Mena Suvari, who passed on the second and third installments of American Pie, must have been feeling nostalgic when she re-teamed with the old crew for Reunion. After turning her American Pie fame into a critically acclaimed role in American Beauty, Suvari decided to branch out into the world of fashion. Suvari is not only a model for Lancome, she's also a designer herself.

Shannon Elizabeth as Nadia
Shannon Elizabeth made every high school boys' heart race when her unforgettable webcam scene turned her into a reluctant sex symbol. Since, Elizabeth has focused more on her activism than acting. The 38-year-old Elizabeth started Animal Avengers, an animal rescue organization, and is an outspoken advocate for animal rights. She's set to reprise her role as the foreign exchange student Nadia.

Natasha Lyonne as Jessica
Perhaps the most veteran actor in the American Pie crew, Natasha Lyonne was the perfect choice to play Jessica, the (comparatively) wise and down-to-earth advisor of the group. Lyonne's post Pie days were marred by repeated instances of drug and alcohol abuse, but she's on the road to recovery. Maybe American Reunion will be what she needs to get back into the acting game

Eugene Levy as Jim's Dad
Not much has changed for Eugene Levy since he became a familiar face to younger audiences in American Pie. Levy, who is also known for his comedic chops in association with Christopher Guest's films, was the only actor to appear in all the American Pie movies, including the three straight to DVD installments, so it's no surprise he'd be around for the big reunion.

Jennifer Coolidge as Stifler's Mom
Thanks to Jennifer Coolidge, "MILF" is one of the most ubiquitous acronyms in the pop culture lexicon. While American Pie might not have coined the term, it certainly popularized it thanks to Stifler's mom. While she settled for a high school boy in the first film, it looks like Coolidge is after someone her own age in American Reunion.
