List of American Pie characters
Noah Levenstein, also known as "Jim's dad", is the only character to appear in all eight films to date. At the 2000 American Comedy Award, Levy was nominated for Funniest Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture although he didn't win. At the 2000 Blockbuster Entertainment Award he was nominated for Favorite Supporting Actor - Comedy which he won. At the 2002 Canadian Comedy Awards he was nominated for Pretty Funny Male Performance for his role in "American Pie 2" and won the award.
Mena Suvari
Suvari subsequently reunited with Jason Biggs in the romantic comedy "Loser" (2002), playing the love interest of a small-town, intelligent man. A lukewarm critical and commercial reception greeted the film, but "The New York Times" found Suvari to be "well matched with the handsome, unassuming Mr. Biggs. They're attractive without being offensively cute, and their characters manage to be genuinely nice without seeming bland or phony". She starred in the satirical comedy "American Virgin", as the daughter of an adult film director who agrees to lose her virginity onscreen to spite her father. The original working title of the film was "Live Virgin", but was changed to capitalize on Suvari's previous successes in "American Pie" and "American Beauty". Suvari continued to act steadily, taking on roles in three 2001 feature films —"The Musketeer", "American Pie 2" and "Sugar & Spice". In the adventure action film "The Musketeer", she played a chambermaid and the love interest of the titular character, while "American Pie" saw her reprise her role from the first film. Like the original, the sequel was a commercial success, grossing US$285 million globally. In the teen crime comedy "Sugar & Spice", Suvari portrayed one member of a group of cheerleaders who conspire and commit armed robbery. Although the film received negative reviews and only made US$16.9 million worldwide, it has since become a cult favorite on home video.
