Snagging A Piece Of The 'Pie'

JASON BIGGS, 'Jim'
BEFORE: I used to sleep on a futon--which I actually never pulled out into the bed position. And I ate a lot of fast food. I went from home-cooked meals in New Jersey to eating McDonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
AFTER: Every time I get in somewhere, it's because I humped a pie. But I'm proud of that scene. I'm proud of that movie. I'm proud that I'm the pie guy. I just hope someday I'll also be known as "the so-and-so guy who also did other movies and stuff."

SHANNON ELIZABETH, 'Nadia'
BEFORE: I used to work at Dillard's department store, doing mannequin modeling. You stand there staring into space for 30 minutes. It's not fun.
AFTER: Sometimes guys will come up to me and my boyfriend and want a picture with me. They don't acknowledge him, don't say hi to him. They just hand him a camera. One time he said, "I should take the picture but cut you out of the frame. So when they develop it, it's just a picture of them."

SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT, 'Stifler'
BEFORE: Me and a buddy had an apartment in Studio City. One day I woke up and there was all this chaos outside. Apparently, living right across from our kitchen was the FBI's most-wanted bank robber. Every day, I'd see the guy, say hello, all that. Well, he tried to escape and they shot him. Killed him. And I was like, "Where the hell am I living?"
AFTER: I got a house in the hills six months ago. I'm actually watering my backyard right now. I still don't have furniture yet.

TARA REID, 'Vicky'
BEFORE: I'd been in six movies, but I could still walk around and not get recognized.
AFTER: A lot of girls came up to me and told me about losing their virginity. Sometimes they'd, like, want advice. They'd say, "I've been with this guy for two years, but I want it to be perfect like it was for you." And I'd be like, "Um, do they think I'm really Vicky?"

THOMAS IAN NICHOLAS, 'Kevin'
BEFORE: I was driving my brother's 1972 Volkswagen Bug. I put up with it for six months--the whole summer in L.A., with no air conditioning--then bought a truck.
AFTER: I was in Amarillo, Texas, of all places, and a bartender invented a drink for me. He called it Kevin's Pale Ale, remembering--and I'll try to keep this rated PG--the scene with me and Stifler and the beer. He took a beer and poured a shot of Bailey's into it, so that it resembled the one that I had, um, mixed in the movie. I signed the glass.
