Jamie Kennedy vs. Seth Green
Battle of the Big-Schnozzed Sidekicks

That Jamie Kennedy and Seth Green are two stars battling for dominance over the same slot is clear. They're both short, big-nosed, redheaded Gen-X types; in fact, one could even sum up many a Jamie Kennedy performance by saying that he's like Seth Green on crystal meth. Both actors have been fortunate enough to land "franchise" roles -- Kennedy as Randy in the Scream films, and Green as Scott Evil in Austin Powers and its sequel. There was even a time, back in 1998, when worlds collided, and Green and Kennedy shared the screen in Enemy of the State.

But who will vanquish his career twin in the Battle of the Big-Schnozzed Sidekicks?

Kennedy? But he's consistently played less appealing characters than Green has. Remember Kennedy's hustler in As Good As It Gets? His dorky production assistant in Bowfinger? His idiot soldier in Three Kings? Sure, we all liked him as Randy, but he got killed in the second movie.

Then the advantage must go to Green, right? He does have the longer list of credits, including the Woody Allen movie Radio Days and cult teen hits Can't Hardly Wait and Pump Up the Volume. And then there's Oz. Ahhh, Oz. But once you get past the roles of Oz and Scott Evil, the average entertainment consumer knows him best as one of the moronic sidekicks in Idle Hands. If said consumer has really done her research, she'll know that Green also provides the voice of Chris Griffin in the justly reviled FOX series Family Guy. And that's it.

Frankly, we don't know which horse to back in this race. We certainly have greater affection for the kid who brought the phrase "Get away from me, you lazy-eyed psycho!" into the pop-cultural lexicon, but if he intends to overtake Jamie Kennedy, he needs to fire the agent who advised him to quit Buffy; as it is, their careers are neck-and-neck.

Advantage: Too close to call.
