Answer: Gene Hackman

Gene Hackman does indeed play the patriarch, named Royal Tenenbaum. In "The Royal Tenenbaums", he portrays a real jerk. To name just a few of his misdeeds, he steals money from his son, he never invites his adopted daughter to visit his mother (his excuse: "Well, she wasn't your real grandmother, I didn't know how much interest you'd have.") and makes no effort to keep in touch with his children after his wife kicks him out.

Barry Pepper has also been in "The Green Mile" and "Saving Private Ryan", both with Tom Hanks. Seth Green has also been in the Austin Powers movies as Scott Evil, and can be heard as the voice of Chris Griffin in "Family Guy."

Vince Vaugh and Jon Favreau have collaborated many times, most notably in "Swingers" and "Made".

This is not the first time Malkovich has played a bad guy with underworld connections, he was also in "Rounders" as Teddy KGB.

Answer: Seth Green and Jack Black

In "Airborne", Seth Green, as Wiley, is a complete dork. The cool kids ignore him, he gets bullied constantly, and is a bit of a klutz. Jack Black, as Augie, has a bit role. He makes the most of it and manages to make himself very believable as a jock.
Seth Green has also done many voices on his show "Robot Chicken" and had the sidekick role in "Idle Hands". Jack Black has also been in "Tropic Thunder" and "Orange County".
Jason Patric and Keifer Sutherland star together in "The Lost Boys".

Answer: Lisa Bonet and Jack Black

Lisa Bonet plays Marie De Salle, a free spirited musician. She has no qualms about sleeping with Cusack's character, even though they've just met, and isn't looking for a relationship with him. Jack Black plays Barry, Cusack's employee. He's a music snob and jerky in a clueless sort of way, which makes him funny. In short, it's a typical Jack Black role.
Lisa Bonet may best be remembered for her role as a Huxtable in "The Cosby Show". Jack Black can also be heard as the title character in "Kung Fu Panda" and as a supporting character in "Shark Tale".
Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan costar together in "The Doors" as Jim Morrison and Pamela Courson. They are also both in "Top Gun".

Answer: Jamie Kennedy and Scott Caan

In "Boiler Room", Jamie Kennedy's character, Adam, is more of a plot device, than an actual character. He's the one who introduces Seth (Giovanni Ribisi) into his world, his bosses and colleagues. Scott Caan, as Richie O'Flaherty, plays a stock character. He's a hotheaded jerk who likes to pick fights.

Scott Caan and Paul Walker have been onscreen together in "Varsity Blues" and "Into the Blue".

Jamie Kennedy is in all the first three "Scream" movies and in "Malibu's Most Wanted". Scott Caan has been in "Varisty Blues" and the first three "Ocean's Eleven" movies.

Scott Caan shares some screen time with Ben Affleck in this movie, and with Affleck's younger brother Casey in "Ocean's Eleven" and its sequels.

Nicky Katt and Vin Diesel are both in "Boiler Room". Nicky plays Giovanni's jerky boss, while Vin takes the role of mentor/friend.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have appeared together in "School Ties", "Glory Daze", "Good Will Hunting", "Chasing Amy", "Dogma", "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back", "The Third Wheel" and "Jersey Girl".

Answer: Loren Dean and Jason Lee

Loren Dean, as Mumford (we never learn his real name) is a bit of a lost soul. His posing as a psychiatrist isn't the first con he's pulled, but he seems to really enjoy helping people. Jason Lee, as Skip Skipperton, plays a dotcom millionaire. He's the inventor of a modem that's become the standard, making him a very rich man, but not helping his social life at all. He doesn't know how to relate to people, and Mumford helps him with that.

Jason Lee used to be a professional skateboarder before he became an actor, and his skills come in handy in this role, as he does all his own skateboarding.
Loren Dean has also been in "Gattaca" and "Space Cowboys". Jason Lee has been in "Mallrats" and "Chasing Amy".


Emile Hirsch and Johnny Knoxville appear together in the skateboard history biopic "Lords of Dogtown".
Anton Yelchin and Robert Downey Jr. are both in the kid-as-therapist comedy "Charlie Bartlett".
Devon Sawa and Seth Green are both in "Idle Hands".

Answer: Will Smith and Jason Lee

Will Smith plays himself in "Jersey Girl". He commiserates on parenting with Affleck's character, helping him to realize what's really important in his life. Jason Lee's role in this movie is one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it types. He's onscreen for less than two minutes, but it does let Affleck's character realize what kind of a battle he'll face if he really wants to get back into the PR business.

Will Smith has been in "Independence Day" and the "Men In Black" movies. Jason Lee can also be heard as the title hero in "Underdog" and as the villain in "The Incredibles".

John Travolta and Gene Hackman are both in the Hollywood spoofing "Get Shorty".
Vince Vaughn and Dwayne Johnson are both in the "Get Shorty" sequel "Be Cool".
Kevin Spacey and Frank Whaley star in the Hollywood satire "Swimming with Sharks".

According to "An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder", before "Jersey Girl" started shooting, Ben Affleck assured Kevin Smith that since he had starred with Bruce Willis in "Armageddon", getting him to cameo as the famous person Affleck's character insults would be no problem. Unfortunately, Affleck couldn't come through and Will Smith stepped into the role.

Answer: Enemy of the State

"Enemy of the State" is an action thriller starring all of the above. In it, a lawyer, played by Will Smith, is unwittingly given the video tape of a murder of a politician by an old school acquaintance of his, played by Jason Lee. Lisa Bonet plays one of Smith's informers, and his former lover, much to the consternation of his wife, played by Regina King. Jon Voight, with the help of Loren Dean, Gabriel Byrne, Jack Black, Jamie Kennedy, Seth Green, Scott Caan and Barry Pepper, sets out to retrieve the tape. Luckily, Gene Hackman helps Will Smith, after Lisa Bonet is murdered by Voight's men.

Tom Sizemore also has a role in the movie as a gangster. He would later work with Barry Pepper in "Saving Private Ryan".
