Who is Eddie Kaye Thomas?

Born with an unknown legal name under the sign of Scorpio on 31 October 1980, in Staten Island, New York USA, Eddie Kaye ‘Leaf’ Thomas is a 41-year-old Caucasian actor of Eastern European Jewish descent. He’s generally known around the world for realizing multiple high profile roles, most prominently that of Finch in the ultra-famous “American Pie” film series. He’s also had a multitude of other successes over the course of his frequently lucrative acting career since 1992.

Early life: Made for the stage

Kaye was raised apparently an only child in his birthplace, by Jewish parents, specifically in New Dorp neighborhood, right across from a train station. The name he goes by today was adopted at the start of his acting career, leaving his birth name unknown. Eddie grew up with a strong interest in acting, participating in school plays as early as age seven. He matriculated from New York’s Professional Children’s School, a preparatory dramatic arts college, in 1998, at which point his acting career was already well underway, thus he never attended college.

Career: The best of both worlds

By the time Eddie’s career officially started, he had already made an enviable number of appearances across various theaters. He played a role in Brooklyn Shakespeare Company’s “Richard III” before he was 10 years old, and debuted on Broadway in “Four Baboons Adoring The Sun” in John Guare’s Lincoln Center Production as an understudy at age 12 in 1992, which marks his career beginning. Thomas’ onscreen breakthrough came when he was 14, thanks to the role of Dave in an episode of the romantic TV series entitled “One Life to Live” in 1994, as well as Matt Dorney in “Are You Afraid of the Dark?”

He landed his first film role in 1996, as Young Flaco in “Illtown”, aside from also showing up in an episode of “Law & Order”, then in 1997, he appeared alongside legendary Natalie Portman in a stage adaptation of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” After another three TV roles in 1998 and one more a year later, he landed his most significant role thus far – Paul Finch in the four-film installments of world-renowned “American Pie”, the first of which premiered in 1999. That year he also played four other roles, one of which marked his second appearance in “Law & Order.”

The new age

Thomas entered the year 2000 with 13 on-screen and numerous theater appearances under his belt, landing the role of Russell in seven episodes of “Brutally Normal” right then, as well as the recurring role of Gary in the prodigy series “The X-Files”, in which he appeared again, and two other roles. In 2001 he appeared as Finch again in “American Pie 2”, meanwhile also cast in the significant part of Mike Platt, in 28 episodes of “Off Centre”, through 2002. Kaye continued his Finch portrayal in “American Wedding” in 2003, and the following year he realized one of his most famous portrayals – Rosenberg in “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.”

A year later, he snagged his longest running role to date, becoming the voice of Barry Robinson in “American Dad!”, which is still ongoing in mid-2022. In 2006, he began starring as Jeff Woodcock in 39 episodes of Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa’s “’Til Death”, until 2008, then in 2010 and ’11, he played David ‘Kappo’ Kaplan in 16 episodes of “How to Make It in America”,. A year later, he made his final appearance as Finch in the “American Pie” film series, starring in “American Reunion.”

The last 10 years

With no credits in 2013 aside from episodes of “American Dad!”, Kaye had a strong 2014, landing the starring role of Toby Curtis in all 93 episodes of the well-known “Scorpion” through 2018, concurrently with five other parts. He continued a regular screen presence after another role in 2018, appearing in one title in 2019, two in 2020 and another in 2021. Aside from “American Dad!”, which is still in production, he’s set to play Rodgers in “Junction” in 2023 – his 66^th acting credit to date.

Eddie’s award

Thomas owes his only award to the “American Pie” film series, having won the Best Ensemble Cast award at Young Hollywood Awards in 2000 alongside the main cast of the films. This is his only nomination as well.

Love life: Is he in a relationship?

The only known partner of Eddie Kaye Thomas is fellow award-winning actress Ari Graynor, whom he met in 2008 during the filming of Peter Sollett’s comedy musical drama “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”, in which Kaye appeared as Jesus, while Ari had the role of Caroline. They dated less than a year, and apparently split up amicably.

The inseparable duo

Actor John Cho has shared a significant portion of his career with Eddie, starring alongside him in numerous titles, such as the four “American Pie” films, the “Harold & Kumar” trilogy, as well as a cameo in “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”, and finally a mutual presence in the sitcom “Off Centre” from 2001.

Eddie on “American Pie”

Thomas was interviewed for denofgeek.com in 2012, alongside his colleague Chris Klein (Oz) about “American Reunion.” Regarding why the film series is so popular, he said his ‘best guess is that the first movie did such a good job of identifying this very vulnerable thing in all of us where we’re going to graduate high school and we’re terrified that we won’t be normal; we’re not going to have sex like everyone else and we’re going to be left behind.’ Kaye was originally not on board with the idea of a fourth film, not wanting ‘to tarnish something good.’ However, once he’d read the script, he ‘realized that a good movie is a good movie, whether it’s “American Pie” or anything else.’

What is Eddie Kay Thomas’ net worth?

Eddie’s net worth is estimated by most sources at over $7 million, amassed throughout over 30 years of acting, earning $600,000 solely from “American Reunion.”

He’s also dabbled in real estate, having purchased a three-bedroom home in Venice, California for $2.6 million in 2015, placing it on the market for $2.75 million in July 2020; the home sold a month later for $2.55 million. He also paid $700,000 for a Hollywood Hills house, and later sold it for $900,000. He’s thought to still have the New York City apartment that he purchased in 2007 for $615,000.

We’ve been going to the beach pretty consistently for 10 years too… But yeah, we’re just homies, and we love each other, and it was fun.’ Jaden briefly dated Kylie Jenner in 2013.

Part of Sarah’s fame came from her romantic relationship with Jaden Pinkett Smith.

He later deleted the pictures, but the media had already caught hold of them; Sarah has never addressed the rumors concerning their relationship.

Sarah and Jaden’s ex-girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, reportedly had some beef. Kylie posted a photo of herself with the caption, ‘KyliefuckingJenner,’ which seemed to be a play on Sarah’s Instagram account handle.

In June 2015 – when she was 19 years old – Sarah was accused of stealing a Hermes bag worth $15,995 from a Penny Pinchers store in Bedford, New York. She was arrested and charged with a third-degree count of grand larceny, which she denied. Sarah produced evidence including pictures, cellphone records, and plane tickets to support her alibi that she was in Miami at the time of the crime. Nevertheless, she spent 56 days in jail; following investigations, Sarah was released on the condition that she paid an $8,000 fine.

Soon after her release, Sarah posted a photo to her Instagram page of herself wearing a t-shirt with her mugshot printed on it. The post garnered a lot of likes and even became viral. In February 2016 she told Harper’s Bazaar, ‘I feel no one believes me but my dad. I just feel like it’s a crazy situation. So many people are like, ‘You stole a bag, you’re such a horrible person that you did this.’ I’ve gotten so much hate from this. I’ve been through so much for something I didn’t do.’ On 10 February 2016, the Bedford jurisdiction dismissed Sarah of all charges.

In November 2017 she was seen having dinner at Estiatorio in Manhattan with Leonardo DiCaprio. Paparazzi captured them walking together and laughing, but sources told Page Six that they are ‘just friends’ and were dining with a large group of friends. Sarah wore her hair in braided pigtails and Leonardo was wearing a baseball cap. When the group left the dinner, Leonardo was alone, so they likely weren’t dating.

Sarah was seen snorting a white substance with a rolled-up banknote, and subsequently accused of using drugs. The photo of her supposed use was taken down, and she never addressed the rumors.

As of late 2022, Sarah resides in Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and appears to be single.

Who is Peter Weller?

American actor, film director and art historian Dr. Peter Francis Weller, was born in Stevens Point, Wisconsin USA, on 24 June 1947 under the zodiac sign of Cancer. He’s appeared in close to 90 movies and TV series, and is perhaps still best known for his playing of the main character Alex Murphy aka RoboCop in the critically acclaimed 1987 action science fiction film “RoboCop”, directed by Paul Verhoeven, and which also starred Dan O’Herlihy and Nancy Allen. It follows the life of a cyborg police officer, and the movie won 11 of its 26 award nominations, which include two Oscar nominations for Best Sound and Sound Effects Editing.

Peter’s still today quite active in the film industry, and is currently shooting for the upcoming episode “The Viewing” of the mystery horror series “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities”.

Education and early life

American attorney and federal judge Frederick Bradford Weller and his American homemaker wife Dorothy Jean (nee Davidson) raised their son Peter in Stevens Points, alongside his sister Ann Weldon; because of Frederick’s job, the family lived in Germany for a couple of years, prior to settling in Texas.

Peter’s passion for acting was born while he was attending Alamo Heights High School; he portrayed lead characters in most of the school plays, and by the time he matriculated in 1965, Peter knew that he would eventually be pursuing a career in the film industry.

He went on to study at North Texas State University, and was interested in several activities during his four years there, including playing the trumpet, acting and sports. Peter was presented with his Bachelor of Arts degree in theatre in 1969, and he then studied acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

More than three decades later, in 2004, Peter graduated from Syracuse University with a Master’s degree in Roman and renaissance art, and earned his Ph. D. from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2014.

Roles in movies

Peter’s debut film role was his portrayal of Lieutenant Fellows in the 1973 adventure drama “The Man Without a Country. He appeared in only two other movies in the ‘70s: the 1975 drama “The Silence” and the 1979 western comedy “Butch and Sundance: The Early Days”.

He starred as Buckaroo Banzai in the critically acclaimed 1984 adventure science fiction comedy “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension”, directed by W. D. Richter, and which also starred John Lithgow and Ellen Barkin. The film follows rock ‘n’ roll musician and brain surgeon Buckaroo Banzai, as he and his friends are trying to stop aliens from conquering Earth; it was nominated for five awards.

In 1991, Peter played Jack Sloan in the romantic comedy “Road to Ruin”, and a couple of his following roles were in the 1991 drama “Naked Lunch”, the 1994 comedy drama “The New Age”, and the 1997 action thriller “Top of the World”.

What marked the 2000s for him was perhaps his playing of Rabbi in the 2005 drama “Man of God”, written and directed by Jefery Levy, and which starred Graham Beckel, Jason Behr and James C. Burns; it follows a Rabbi who’s questioning his faith.

In 2013, Peter portrayed Marcus in the hit action science fiction adventure “Star Trek Into Darkness”, directed by J. J. Abrams, and which starred Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto. It follows Captain Kirk as he’s trying to salvage a weapon of mass destruction from a world in war, and the film won seven of its 67 award nominations, including an Oscar nomination for Best Achievement in Visual Effects.

Peter’s three most recent film roles have been in the 2013 animated action crime “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns” (voice role), the 2014 action crime thriller “Skin Trade” and the 2017 animated adventure fantasy “Yamasong: March of the Hollows” (voice role).

Peter’s debut TV series role was his playing of Donald Stryker in the 1977 episode “Nazi” of the crime drama “Lou Grant”, then in 1981, he played Captain Peter Niles, one of the lead characters in the romantic mini-series “Mourning Becomes Electra”.

He spent the following two decades focused solely on appearing in movies, so his next TV series role was his portrayal of Chuck Taggart in the critically acclaimed action adventure drama “Odyssey 5”, created by Manny Coto, and in which he starred alongside Sebastian Roche and Christopher Gorham. It follows five astronauts who’ve been sent back in time to prevent the destruction of Earth – the series aired from 2002 to 2004 and was nominated for two awards.
