Seth Green: Breckin Meyer's 'Can't Hardly Wait' Role Was Mine

Seth Green recently shared on the Teen Beat podcast how his memorable role as Kenny Fisher in the 1998 film 'Can't Hardly Wait' came about. He explained that his friend Breckin Meyer was originally slated for the part but left to pursue a role in the film '54,' which Green suggested was ultimately compromised by studio edits. Green described the role of Kenny as a significant opportunity, one he pursued with intense energy and passion.

Green further elaborated that he drew inspiration from his own experiences growing up in Philadelphia to shape Kenny's character. He aimed to capture the authentic bravado of aspirational youth, noting that the character's outward confidence was a cover for deep-seated fear. This approach, combined with his dedicated performance, contributed to the film's success and Green's burgeoning career, which included work on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and subsequent films.
