The film boasted a very impressive cast from veteran iconic actors to the best up and comers as well as James Van Der Beek in the midst of his Dawson’s Creek fame. Although it didn’t rank high with critics, fans flocked to see the movie which ended up pulling in $52 million at the domestic box office. After 17 years and the tragic loss of star Paul Walker, check out how much the cast is worth now!

11. Joe Pichler

Estimated Net Worth: $500 Thousand. In Varsity Blues, Joe Pichler portrayed Kyle Moxon, the younger brother of Jonathan “Mox” Moxon (James Van Der Beek) who cares more about religion than football to the despair of their football obsessed dad. Prior to the film, Pichler appeared in shows such as In the House, The New Adventures of Superman and Touched by an Angel. His career didn’t really take off and he appeared in a few more TV movies as well as commercials and voice-overs.

No. Did I throw away  my career to be skinny? Yes. I wouldn’t do [the surgery] again. I would much rather have died happy, rich, and kept my status and gone out on top.” Unfortunately, on June 17, 2016 Lester passed away of liver and kidney failure.
