According to his interview withDamanin 2016, this had shocked him.
Despite his apparent disdain for public attention, the 44-year-old remained relatively busy throughout the years.
But what has he been busy with, exactly?

311 music video for ‘Flowing’ dropped," they wrote.
Eddie Kaye Thomas (fresh off ‘American Pie’) was cast for this one."
Given their fictional counterparts, one would assume that Thomas would start up a romantic relationship with his co-star.
Coolidge, however, suggested that wasn’t the case.
For Thomas, it seemed that he was comfortable keeping his relationship with his ex-co-star completely platonic.
“I wasn’t the love of his life,” Coolidge quipped.
“He had girlfriends.
My bedroom was across the hallway from his.”

Like, what are you complaining about?'"
The show’s popularity was felt, not only thanks to its star-studded cast but for its unique writing.
“It’s been amazing.

The “American Pie” cast felt this sibling-like energy in 1999 when they reunited for its 20th anniversary.
During a collective interview withEntertainment Tonight, Thomas expressed gratitude for being part of such a great franchise.

This was until 2023 when Thomas played Adam on “The Marvelous Mrs.
Starting at just 7 years old, the New York native showed signs of taking his blooming career further.
When “American Pie” came out, he was off to the races with his acting career.
Shockingly enough, however, Thomas continued to pick up theater roles in off-Broadway productions.
It’s just a joyful way to spend the day.
It brings out our inner child in a playful way, which is great.”
“In the theater, you get an opportunity to fail and loop back and try.
“But theater is a place for actors to really get to flex their muscles.”
