One thing’s for sure about Cottage Grove native Seann William Scott: He must not need much sleep.

The actor, who shot to fame with the "American Pie" films and whose voice is featured in the nation’s No. 1 movie, "Ice Age: The Meltdown," has three more movies scheduled for release this year, including director Richard Kelly’s follow-up to cult hit "Donnie Darko," "Southland Tales." According to show biz bible Variety, Scott’s most recent project is a "Bad News Bears" variation, "Gary the Tennis Coach," in which he’ll play the title role of a janitor who turns a ragtag team of tennis players into champions.

He’s not the only Minnesota native with a lot on his Hollywood plate. St. Paul’s Josh Hartnett, opening this week in "Lucky Number Slevin," plays a man with autism in "Mozart and the Whale," which has appeared at a couple film festivals but has no release date, and is a detective in Brian De Palma’s "The Black Dahlia," coming this fall. He has also signed to play junkie trumpet player Chet Baker in a drama about his life, and he’ll be a reporter who happens upon a homeless man (Samuel L. Jackson), who may be a former boxing champion, in "Resurrecting the Champ."

And Rachael Leigh Cooke fans, who haven’t been able to see her on the big screen for some time, will get their chance early next year, when "Nancy Drew" is released. The Minneapolis native plays a supporting role. In the meantime, it’s worth renting "11:14," a twisty drama with Cooke that co-stars Hilary Swank and Patrick Swayze that was never released in theaters here.
