2Getherness
Which real guy groovers are the harmonizing hotties of MTV's 2Gether most like? Check out the uncanny croon connections.
Actor/Legendary Line: Evan Farmer/"I heart you"
Character clue: You won't hear any wisecracks coming out of Jerry's mouth; he's the dude who's always faced with moral dramas. As Evan notes, "Jerry constantly struggles with issues--like should he leave his girlfriend for the band?"
Boy-band Twin: With their muscled, lean bods and winning smiles, Jerry and N'sync's JC Chasez are practically clones. Plus, both have that down-to-earth, nice-guy vibe.
Singing cram session: "I did the Backstreet Boys' voices on Celebrity Deathmatch," he reveals. And, back in 1997, he was in the Russian guy group Na-Na. "I had to lip-sync Russian songs!" he recalls. "It was chaos."
Role Models: "My fav boy-band song is N Sync's "Bye Bye Bye." It's not your typical love song---it's up-tempo and angry.
Actor/Legendary Line: Alex Solowitz/"Mickey P. don't dress like no star-spangled Elvis."
Character clue: "Mickey tries too hard to be the bad boy," observes Alex. "He's going through a total identity crisis. He's scared of girls for some reason. But he's an all around nice guy, once you get to know him."
Boy-band Twin: With his funky style (tattoos, big jewelry), wild ways, and uncensored speech, Mickey screams A.J. McLean from Backstreet Boys. Both live by their own rules.
Singing Cram Session: "I watched MTV--that's as far as my research went." Alex says of playing Mickey. "The dancing was a stretch. I'm not the best." He admits to being inspired by Seth Green's homeboy antics in "Can't Hardly Wait."
Role Models: "I've met HOwie and A.J. from Backstreet Boys, and they're great. I've never met any of the N Sync guys, I'm sure they are cool, too. But 98 degrees are my favorites. I think they're the best singers.
Actor/Legendary Line: Michael Cuccione/"So many girls, so little time."
Character Clue: "Q.T. is a girl-crazy 15-year-old who just happens to have a terminal illness," explains Michael.
Boy-band Twin: He's the adorable baby of the group who makes girls swoon, just like Justin Timberlake of N'Sync. Intentionally or not, these baby-faced babes often steal the spotlight.
Singing Cram Session: This singer-songwriter already had the pop thing down pat before the movie: He actually penned 2Gether's song "Visualize." And he's been a dancer since he was a kid, when he got hung up on hip-hop.
Role Models: "I respect all the boy bands. As many of them as there are, they've all maintained their individuality. And they all work really hard. People may think it's all fun and games, but there's alot of sacrifice that goes into performing."
Actor/Legendary Line: Kevin Farley/"I used to be in this heavy metal band, Pegasus, but we couldn't afford instruments, so we had to sing a cappella."
Character Clue: "He's got really dumb ideas but a good heart," Kevin says of goofy but kind Doug. "He always has a plan." In fact, Doug-who doesn't sing-only gets in the band by claiming that his bro, Chad, can't be in it without him.
Boy-band Twin: Like NIck Lachey of 98 degrees, Doug is a caring older brother who acts as the band watchdog. But unlike Nick, "I'm a fat, balding fella," says Kevin. "I don't look the part!"
Singing Cram Session: "I went to the Virgin Megastore and bout 98 degrees and BSB videos," Kevin says. Still, 2Gether presents challenges. "The first time we sang "U + Me = Us (calculus)" I had a hard time keeping a straight face."
Role Models: "For my audition, I sang "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys. It worked!!"
Actor/Legendary Line: Noah Bastion/"I plan to make a butt-load of money with this."
Character Clue: "He's very shy, naive, and not very intelligent," Noah says of chad. "But he's warm--he loves everything and everybody."
Boy-band Twin: With his aw-shucks sweetness and blond locks, Chad definitely resembles Lance Bass of "N sync. Only difference: Lance is a brainy babe, while Chad's anything but.
Singing Cram Session: Since he's such a huge boy-band fan, Noah didn't need to brush up on his skills--he practically had all of N Sync's and BSB's songs and moves memorized already!
Role Models: "I really dig boyband. I loved BSB's Millennium, and now I like N Sync." He also hopes to follow in N Sync's footsteps by joining up with Britney Spears. "I'm madly in love with her," he gushes. "She's just so beautiful and nice."
