Why You Don't Hear About The Star Of Napoleon Dynamite Anymore

Back in 2004, a little film called Napoleon Dynamite became not just a cult classic, but a cultural touchstone. Where did star Jon Heder vanish to?

Following the success of Napoleon Dynamite, Heder acted in some films you may have seen. In 2005's Just Like Heaven, he played opposite Mark Ruffalo and Reese Witherspoon, as a psychic bookstore clerk. In 2006's The Benchwarmers, he played Clark, one of the nerds who made up a baseball team that represents all the people who normally get bullied because they have no athletic skill. And in 2007's Blades of Glory, he worked alongside Will Ferrell as a washed-up skater kicked out of the 2002 Olympics.

In an interview with The Tufts Daily, Heder said,

"I really enjoy physical comedy, kind of turning your body into a cartoon. I just love bringing characters to life, whether it be through the words or through their movement and being. You can get so much about a character through the way they position themselves or the way they move."

After that, Heder played one of a series of suitors trying to win the attention of Kristen Bell's character in the 2009 film When in Rome.
