The guy from Can’t Hardly Wait was the perfect combination of nerd, sweetheart, and, oh yeah: HOT.
Ethan Embry (he went by Ethan Randall for a while) got his start in acting at a very early age.
Here he is around age 9 or 10 in a Fox Kids' commercial to promote self-image or something? He plays a boy who watches the girl of his dreams move in next door and he imagines all the ways to get her attention, until he does by just being himself. Good advice.
In 1991, he had a small role as Albert Brooks' childhood friend in Defending Your Life.
I don't know why people seem not to care about this movie. It is one of the best movies ever. And now better that I know Ethan Embry was in it.
Yes, the resemblance to Harry Potter is indeed striking here, but it's in fact Ethan in a pinup promoting the movie Dutch.
But is it magic? Oh yes.

Also in 1991, Ethan was in a Christmas movie with Thora Birch. You can begin to see the swagger developing...
