Eddie Kaye Thomas

Eddie Kaye Thomas (born on October 31, 1980 in New York City) is an American film (and stage) actor who rose to prominence in 1999 as Paul Finch in American Pie, which spawned two sequels and two direct-to-video spin-offs. Thomas currently stars in the sitcom 'Til Death.

Biography

Thomas' acting career began when he won his first stage role at age seven. Thomas has appeared onstage in productions of Four Baboons Adoring the Sun in 1992 and The Diary of Anne Frank in 1997. He graduated from New York's Professional Children's High School as a veteran of the Broadway stage.

Thomas made his onscreen debut in an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? in 1994, in an episode titled The Tale of the Curious Camera about a possessed camera that destroys everything it shoots. Next came Law & Order in 1996 (he has appeared on the show three times) and landed a role in an independent movie called Illtown. Later, he would be featured in the film The Rage: Carrie 2 along with James Toback's controversial motion picture Black and White in which Thomas co-starred with Robert Downey, Jr. and Jared Leto.

Since American Pie, Eddie has starred in the series Off Centre (cancelled in 2002) with John Cho; played the title role in Canadian shock-comic Tom Green's Freddy Got Fingered; and continues stage work. He has appeared in the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "No More Bets". He is currently (as of April 2006) appearing off-Broadway.

He appeared once more with John Cho as Jewish character Rosenberg in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004) opposite David Krumholtz.
