So then 1999 comes around and everything changes for you.

Obviously, the script has become a phenomenon.

But when you first read American Pie, were you like, holy, this is wild.

What was your impression?

We do, too.

We knew you would have told us if you did.

I doctored the test once.

How long does it take, American Pie comes out, or not even maybe before, even before it comes out, how long does it take to feel the difference in your everyday life?

I think one commonality between all of us who got famous in the 90s or the 2000s is that at some point we all found ourselves in completely insane situations as new celebrities, whether it's Shaquille O'Neal deciding to hold me over his head or Ryder being on the Oprah Winfrey show talking about fan mail or Will writing Tower of Terror with Bill Nye the Science Guy.

They all sound like mad libs.

Is there any insane situation that you can specifically remember yourself being in after American Pie came out that you'd like to share with us?

Oh, above Dublin's.

Who wasn't there?

So after the success of American Pie, do you feel pigeonholed at all?

I mean, here you are, a daytime Emmy nominated actor, a seasoned Broadway actor and a Pulitzer Prize finalist play.

And now you're the king of sex comedy.

Is there anything that you really wanted, like a role you really, really wanted and you just feel like you missed out on because they couldn't see past it?

We spoke to another one of our shared co-stars, Meena Suvari, on our podcast, and we chatted about a new American Pie movie, American Funeral.

What do you know about it?

What can you tell us?
