Wesley Snipes - After a steady string of hits throughout the 90s, including the critically acclaimed Mo' Better Blues, Snipes scored his biggest box office success with 1998's Blade. Unfortunately, in recent years he's made more headlines for his tax troubles (he was imprisoned for tax evasion earlier this year) than his career accomplishments.

Woody Harrelson - Like his character Billy Hoyle, Harrelson's film career has defied expectations. The actor has enjoyed nearly three decades of success on both television and the big screen, with too many notable roles to count. He even nabbed two Oscar nominations, for The People vs. Larry Flynt and The Messenger. (Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)

Rosie Perez - Gloria Clemente's only goal was to compete on Jeopardy!, but Perez won the career jackpot after standout roles in Do the Right Thing and WMCJ. She earned an Oscar nod for Fearless and has ventured into directing and producing. Perez is also a vocal advocate and mentor in the Latino community. (Photo: Rob Kim/FilmMagic)

Tyra Ferrell - The year before the world saw her as Snipes' wife Rhonda in WMCJ, Ferrell was named one of the "Promising New Actors of 1991" by Screen World. While her career never quite matched up to some of her co-stars, she did maintain a recurring role on NBC hit ER.(Photo: Todd Williamson/FilmMagic)

Cylk Cozart - While this real-life baller (he was grooming for the NBA before a foot injury turned him to acting) didn't score many slam dunks in his career, he has been a steadily working actor since appearing in WMCJ. His notable credits include Play It to the Bone (directed by WMCJ scribe Ron Shelton) and Eagle Eye. (Photo: Kristian Dowling/Getty Images)

Kadeem Hardison - He was already a household name as Dwayne Wayne on A Different World when he made WMCJ, but Hardison seems to have peaked in college. The actor has managed to maintain steady work acting in films and television, and even directed his first feature film, The Dark Party, this year.

Ron Shelton (Director) - Already an Oscar nominee when he made White Men Can't Jump, Hollywood wunderkind Shelton had continued success with sports-themed films. He wrote scripts for Blue Chips, The Great White Hype and Play It to the Bone, and directed the golf comedy Tin Cup. After a seven year hiatus, Shelton will be back behind the camera soon for Sweet Spot, a baseball film starring Salma Hayek and Kurt Russell that is currently in development.
