Answer: The wrestling ring owner

When he asks for more money, the owner calls him Webhead. He only got $100, when the ad said $3000. This is after the fight.

Answer: Tobey Maguire

Many people tried for the role, including Heath Ledger ("The Patriot"), Freddie Prinze, Jr. ("Scooby-Doo"), Nicholas Brendon (Xander from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"). Tobey won the role because he actually auditioned for it first.

Answer: Blue

In the movie M.J. says that he has blue eyes but she never noticed it before because of his glasses.

Answer: Kirsten Dunst

She did a great job, but personally I felt Alicia Witt ("Urban Legend") would have made a better Mary Jane. Kirsten Dunst is too pop culture for me to buy her, especially as a redhead, and I think Alicia Witt is a wonderful, underappreciated actress. She was considered briefly for this role.

Answer: Tobey Maguire

Tobey hits just the right note as Spidey. He looks young enough to have been at high school and is not overly muscular so it is believable that he is so supple.
