He went on to star in the series' movie and also Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle; The Greatest Game Ever Played; I, Robot and Constantine, but his true breakthrough was starring as Stanley Yelnats in the critically successful 2003 movie Holes, which was based on the popular young adult novel.

"I'm not Ben Affleck. I'm not. I'm just not. I'm not the handsome f*****' guy who can just stand there and doesn't really have to do much to be cool. That's it, film me and I'm good to go." — aintitcool.com, Sept. 4, 2006
