Connecticut-born kid Christy Carlson Romano, was 16 years old when she landed the role of the school-driven middle sister, Ren Stevens -- who is the brains of the family and has to keep her two wacky brothers in check -- in the classic Disney family program, "Even Stevens."

Christy Carlson Romano was cast alongside Nick Spano as the sporty older brother, Donnie Stevens, Steven Anthony Lawrence as the annoying neighbor, Beans ... and of course, Shia LaBeouf as the youngest of the Stevens clan, Louis.

New York-native Zane Buzby made her big-screen debut when she landed the role of the pill-popping hippie, Jade East -- who gets picked up while hitchhiking and ultimately helps Cheech and Chong get to the battle of the bands -- in the iconic 1978 stoner masterpiece, Cheech & Chong's "Up in Smoke."

Aside from Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong's classic characters ... Zane Buzby was on her hitchhiking journey with her buxom blonde BFF, Debbie, who was played by Wally Ann Wharton.

Los Angeles-Local Alexander Martin was in his mid-20s when he gained fame after locking down the role as the naive foreign exchange student -- who repeats crazy lines like "I am a sex machine" -- in the classic 1998 high school party film, "Can't Hardly Wait."

The "Drops Of Jupiter" album and single were such a smash it won the band a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song and almost a decade later the band released "Hey, Soul Sister" which landed them a second golden gramophone.

Monahan still continues to make music while raising kids and hosting a podcast.

While many of the bandmates cycled in and out of the pop group over the years ... the one other constant in Len was Marc Costanzo's sister and better-half, Sharron Costanzo, on bass and vocals.

Since their spike in popularity Len and the Costanzo siblings have delivered a few follow-up albums but have largely remained a one-hit wonder.
