Is there a more early 2000s actor than Seann William Scott?

I'm serious here, he's in so much late 90s/early 2000s core. It's AMAZING!
Road Trip
American Pie
Dude, Where's my Car?
Bulletproof Monk
The Rundown
American Pie 2
Final Destination 1

It's amazing, every time I see a photo of the dude my mind goes back to the early 2000s.
 
Josh Hartnett is up there too

The Faculty

Black Hawk Down

Pearl Harbor

40 Days and 40 Nights

Quintessential early 2000s pretty boy look

Damn, Josh Hartnett was the first that came to mind. Sherdog already all over it.

His co-star from American Pie is another name, but not on par with the other mentions we've already seen in this thread like Josh, and is easily the worst actor of the bunch: Chris Klein (Election, American Pie series, Here on Earth, Rollerball, We Were Soldiers, The United States of Leland).

If the question focused this on the late 90's as the center, with the early 00's as the secondary, then it would be tough to beat frequent collaborators Matthew Lillard and Freddie Prinze Jr.

Ironically, Lillard starred with Jesse Bradford in the cult classic Hackers. Bradford's another mentionable for the 2000's crowd even if two of his best known works, Hackers and Romeo & Juliet, sort of break the temporal association by dipping all the way back to 1995 & 1996, respectively (Bring It On, Swimfan, Flags of our Fathers, Clockstoppers, recurring character on The West Wing).

BTW, goddamn, Dish Dogs has to be one of the most underrated IMDb scores I've ever seen. Only a 4.6 on IMDb? That's criminal.

James Van Der Beek has to be up there. He's one of the actors I most closely associate with that period, and only that period, even though he has done stuff before and after.

God, I wish Seann can have a resurgence in his career
