He was Felicity's easygoing true love Ben, but now Scott Speedman, 29, is all edge, chasing werewolves and vampires in Underworld and toting a gun as a government agent in XXX: State of the Union. But really, he still sees himself as that regular, flannel-clad guy: "I want to buy a cabin and a rowboat and learn how to fish," he told Entertainment Weekly about his five-year plan.

He played the entrepreneurial Sean on Felicity, and now Greg Grunberg, 38, has reinvented himself as CIA agent Eric Weiss on Felicity creator J.J. Abrams' spy series Alias. He's taken a can-do attitude in real life, too, rallying behind the Pediatric Epilepsy Project after son Jake, 8, was diagnosed with the disease. Recently Grunberg got his Alias costars and other famous friends to make one-of-a-kind guitars to be auctioned off to benefit the foundation.

Wife Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) calls him the "most secure person I've ever met" – but before Ian Gomez, 40, got his new TV series Jake in Progress with John Stamos, he played Felicity's neurotic gay boss Javier. Series creator Abrams noted his talent from the start: "It was a no-brainer," he told Entertainment Weekly. "Ian's able to make Javier a character, not a caricature."
