Following the rave reviews of his breakout performance in the 1999 box office hit She's All That, Prinze began to carve out a place for himself as one of his generation's hottest new leading men. After opening #1 at the box office, the film grossed over $103 million domestic and internationally.

Prinze lent his voice to the animated comedy feature Happily N'Ever After for Vanguard Films' John H. Williams (Shrek) alongside Sigourney Weaver and Sarah Michelle Gellar, inspired by classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales and based on Greenlight's European animated television series SimsalaGrimm.

Prinze left his hometown of Albuquerque after finishing high school and moved to Los Angeles to focus on his acting career. After making his feature film debut opposite Michelle Pfeiffer, Peter Gallagher and Claire Danes in To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday, Prinze went on to star with Parker Posey in the independent cult-hit film, The House of Yes.

The box office smash I Know What You Did Last Summer followed with an ensemble including Ryan Phillippe, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Prinze reprised his role in the sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. Recent film credits include Miramax's Down to You with Julia Stiles and Boys and Girls with Jason Biggs and Claire Forlani, Head over Heels with Monica Potter, Summer Catch with Matthew Lillard and Scooby-Doo.
