Eugene Levy
Levy's career received a tremendous boost in 1999, when he was cast as the clueless but loving dad in the blockbuster "American Pie". Reprising the role in three film sequels and starring in four straight-to-video sequels made him something of a cult hero. Levy has been quoted as saying the "American Pie" series was a particular turning point in his career, affording him "a new perspective on his career at the time". Since working on the first two "American Pie" movies, Levy has worked with Steve Martin and Queen Latifah in "Bringing Down the House", and most recently appeared with Martin in "Cheaper by the Dozen 2". Levy again appeared as his famous character, Noah Levenstein, in the fourth theatrical film in the "American Pie" series, "American Reunion". He is the only actor to appear in all eight "American Pie" films
