He then starred in 1999's She's All That and 2002's Scooby-Doo. In 2005, the actor had his own show, Freddie, based on his own life.

The pair also starred together in Scooby-Doo, before tying the knot in September 2002. Together, they share two kids: daughter Charlotte Grace, born on Sept. 19, 2009, and son Rocky James, born on Sept. 20, 2012.

While discussing the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot with Entertainment Tonight, Prinze Jr. shared where he believes his character is all these years later — and what he thinks happened between him and Julie.

"They went through a pretty traumatic experience, if they were able to survive that and stay together, they'd be a better couple than me and my wife in real life," he said. "Maybe they toughed it out, it's Hollywood, they like happy endings."

As for his character's personal growth, he said, "What they went through is pretty traumatic, so as long as he carries that weight, then I think he's in the right place."
