Tobey Maguire Ages Like a Fine Wine
There are four main reasons why we don’t see Tobey Maguire anymore since his major stint as Spider-Man. Firstly, the studio had to replace him because he was getting too old for the role – he was pushing 35. Secondly, in 2011 Tobey was linked to a poker club, of which an organizer told the press that he “was the worst tipper, the best player, and the absolute worst loser.” Talk about bad publicity.
Thirdly, Tobey was getting older and wanted to play more mature roles, but couldn’t shake off his naturally boyish looks. Still, he couldn’t carry on playing a 20-year-old anymore. And lastly, he has since become a father to two kids with his recently-divorced ex-wife Jennifer Meyer. Let’s just say he’s got his hands pretty full.
Seann William Scott Is Heard but Not Seen
Seann William Scott grew in popularity after starring as Steve Stifler in the American Pie franchise. But when he was one of the leading actors in other movies like Dude, Where’s My Car? and Dukes of Hazzard, they failed to do well with both critics and audiences. On top of that, he’s been totally typecast. Talking about his role as Stifler, Seann said: “I don’t want to be known as that character forever.”
He continued: “Now I’m probably realizing that I will be known as that character forever.” That being said, he scored a recurring role in the Ice Age franchise voicing the character Crash. And he’s been supporting himself with this, along with other voiceover work, ever since.
