Eddie Kaye Thomas' acting career began long before that, though, winning his first stage role at age seven. Thomas has appeared onstage in productions of Four Baboons Adoring the Sun in 1992 and The Diary of Anne Frank (with Natalie Portman) in 1997. He graduated from New York's Professional Children's High School as a veteran of the Broadway stage.

Thomas made his onscreen debut in an episode of Law & Order in 1996 (he has appeared on the show three times) and landed a role in an independent movie called Illtown. Later, he would be featured in the film The Rage: Carrie 2 along with James Toback's controversial motion picture Black and White in which Thomas co-starred with Robert Downey, Jr. and Jared Leto.

Since American Pie, Eddie has starred in the series Off Centre (cancelled in 2002) with John Cho; played the title role in Canadian shock-comic Tom Green's Freddy Got Fingered; and continues stage work. He has appeared in the CSI:Crime Scene Investigation episode "No More Bets." He is currently (as of April 2006) appearing off-Broadway.

He starred once more with John Cho as Jewish character Rosenberg in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004) opposite David Krumholtz.

Thomas is one of only about ten actors to appear in all of the first three American Pie films. The only actor to appear in all four is Eugene Levy.
