Seann William Scott earned a meager $8,000 for his role as Steve Stifler in American Pie (1999), a surprise comedy hit that grossed over $235 million worldwide. As a newcomer in Hollywood, Scott’s pay reflected his lack of experience, but his portrayal of the crass yet lovable Stifler became a fan favorite. The film’s success led to sequels where Scott renegotiated significantly higher salaries, eventually becoming one of the franchise’s highest-paid actors.
