Sean William Scott starring in American Reunion!

The new trailer for American Reunion is out now (warning: some adult material and themes) and Seann William Scott resumes his role as the lovable Stifler! This film catches up with the American Pie gang ten years later for their high school reunion.

Seann William Scott competed at IMTA in 1995. Casting Director Patrick Baca encouraged Seann to compete at IMTA to showcase his talent. Seann signed with a manager at the Convention and flew immediately to New York to audition for the soap opera All My Children. Although he wasn’t cast on the soap, the break-through role of Stifler in the hilarious American Pie movies catapulted Seann's career into the hemisphere. He co-starred with fellow IMTA Alum Ashton Kutcher in the cult classic Dude, Where is my Car?, voices the character Crash in Disney's popular animated Ice Age movies, and starred in the #1 hit film The Dukes of Hazzard with fellow IMTA alum Jessica Biel. His string of hits also includes Role Models, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Old School, Cop Out, and Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach.

"One of my favorite IMTA discoveries…Seann William Scott is doing wonderfully. He is a huge movie star now."
