I still remember him mainly from Boy Meets World as the bully. It was freaky seeing him as a racist in AHX

As for onces I never noticed, last week I watched Weird Science and had never noticed that the mean rich kid was Robert Downey Jr. (on the right)

No shit man! That's a pretty solid show, good job.

Do you have any lines or were you an extra?

I play Dihann Carroll's (June is the name of the character I think) first husband in flashbacks. It was more of a photo shoot than anything. They rented out the famous Lenox Lounge in Harlem and we shot a bunch of different stills in there- having drinks, poker, playing the piano in a bunch of sweet suits and tuxes. Then we got a '64 Cadillac and played around with that :pimp:

It was a lot fun, especially when the crackheads kept cutting into the frame and the ADs and PAs had to chase them away :oldlol: but I've only gotten like 2 hrs of sleep the last few days.

Rob McElhenney who plays Mac on Always Sunny played an student who sits right next to Katie Holmes in the ending of the Wonder Boys.

since I can't find a picture here is a bit from one of his interviews

EI: Were there any early roles that you can chuckle about now?
RM: Yeah, big-time. I was cut out of a lot of movies. My first job was The Devil’s Own. I had a scene with Harrison Ford and a scene with Brad Pitt, and I was like, this is amazing! Then I got cut out of the entire movie. It happened again in Wonder Boys. I played opposite Katie Holmes, and I was her boyfriend. I got cut out of that, too.

EI: Did you actually go to see it in the theater, only to realize you’d been axed?
RM: Yep. And by that point, you’ve told all of your family and friends. My father was not too pleased with my decision to not go to college, so each time I’d do this, it would blow up in my face.

EI: Still keep in touch with any of the A-listers you worked with? Did you send Katie Holmes a gift basket that said, “Congrats on the baby — from ‘Student #1’ in Wonder Boys”?
RM: [laughs] No, they didn’t talk to me at all. Except when they were getting paid to.
