In the midst of his early 2000s heyday, Freddie Prinze Jr. joined Summer Catch as Ryan Dunne, a baseball player with big-league dreams. The She’s All That alum followed the gig with a turn as Fred in Scooby-Doo (2002) and its 2004 sequel. Prinze Jr. then landed his own short-lived TV show in 2005 with Freddie, earned voice credits for Shark Bait (2006), Happily N’Ever After (2006), and Delgo (2008), and did an extended stint on 24 in 2010. In recent years, the actor released a cookbook and lent his voice to episodes of Robot Chicken and Star Wars Rebels.
