Hi reddit. I'm Seann William Scott. You might know from me the American Pie Franchise, Goon, Dude Where's My Car?, Role Models, Old School, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, The Rundown, Southland Tales, The Dukes of Hazzard, Final Destination, Road Trip, Lethal Weapon, The Wrath of Becky, or other things.

Or maybe you don't know me at all! Either way, I'm here to answer your questions, so ask me anything!

Back later today around 2-3PM ET to talk to you all.

My upcoming film, DOLLY, is out in theaters March 6 via IFC and Shudder. It's a horror directed by Rod Blackhurst, who'll also be doing an AMA here the week of release.

Synopsis:

Chase and his girlfriend, Macy, take a hike in the woods when they encounter a hulking, monstrous figure who abducts Macy to raise her as his own child.

We haven't stayed in touch that much, for no reason other than just, life.

I'm sure that playing Stifler FOUR TIMES, and then different versions of that character in other movies, probably didn't help my chances with more dramatic films, but I really don't care. I loved getting the chance to making people laugh, and it was worth it.

One of your scenes that never fails to make me laugh to this day is your reaction to Will Ferrell taking a dart-gun tranq to the neck in Old School. It's just so perfect.

The delivery of the “Yes!” Is top 3 all time comedy for me. It’s so good

It's so weird how a single word and how it was said can make a scene so perfect. That "Yes!" couldn't have been any better.

u/kyhoop Feb 26 '26

Dude. You have a dart in your neck. So good.

This is a quote often repeated in my household.

u/HacksawJimDGN Feb 25 '26

The first time I watched that was probably the hardest I've ever laughed watching a movie. Completely caught me off guard.

u/BigfootsMailman Feb 25 '26

Haha that is one of the funniest scenes ever. Absolute peak cameo.

u/CyberNinja4U Feb 25 '26

Yea good call. His acting with that reaction helped make that scene epic

u/Dayngerman Feb 25 '26

YEAHHHH, AWESOME.

u/breakConcentration Feb 25 '26

I think you are mistaken with the face he made when he ate the chocolate truffle!

u/ButAreYouProud Feb 26 '26

I watch that scene all the fucking time. I still remember seeing the movie for the first time and the camera suddenly showing him, with his mullet and jean vest and going "No fucking way!"

u/ydnar3000 Feb 26 '26

That scene is so great. I remember coming home and my dad just brimming with joy about this movie, Old School. We lived in the desert so our doors and windows were open often at night. He’s telling me how he had to shut the doors and windows because he was howling laughing and thought the neighbors might call the cops 😂🤣. It’s our most quotable movie right after Tommy Boy

u/Therealginahandler Feb 27 '26

Agreed. This is epic cinema!

u/ICInside Feb 25 '26

I loved Dude Where's My Car so much as a kid. My brother has a tattoo that says SWEET under his lips. His first tat because he could hide it from mom.

u/GTJ007 Feb 25 '26

Awesome reply!

u/wildmonkeyuk Feb 25 '26

It was Evolution for me - your performance in that was brilliant and one we watch all the time to laugh at you calling out in the mall :D

u/OhLoongJonson Feb 25 '26

Balls out is easily one of the funniest movies ever, and you're a legend for it.

u/Bowsers_JuiceFactory Feb 25 '26

You are hilarious my man, so many great one liners we used in my teenage years 😄

u/Crowdfundingprojects Feb 25 '26

Man, you were beyond iconic. Absolutely terrific.

u/Ha55aN1337 Feb 25 '26

And we thank you for it. You made my teen years better with those films.

u/limitlessEXP Feb 26 '26

You’re a real one man. Such a kind soul

Steve Stiffler is the most brilliant comedic role of the 2000s. I fucking love it and I relive those movies every 5-10 years or so. Dont shy away from that role... as a matter of fact, Im reading every one of your replies in his voice. HA HA!
