1. "Superbad"
   "Napoleon Dynamite"
2. "Election"

   "One Month"
2. "One Year"

1. "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
   "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"

   Ian Ziering

Jason Priestly is always remembered as Brandon Walsh. He didn't do a lot of acting after "Beverley Hills, 90210" ended in 2000, but he was considered a heartthrob of the '90s as his show attracted teen girls from across the country.

1. "Varsity Blues"
   "We Are Marshall"
2. "Remember the Titans"
