The Wood (1999) - This boys-to-men film focused on three friends reminiscing about the misadventures of their youth hours before one of them (Taye Diggs) is about to get married.

Taye Diggs - Taye Diggs starred as novelist Harper Stewart, whose latest book would reveal a secret that threatens to end a wedding. From 2007-2013, Diggs starred on the hit Shonda Rhimes series Private Practice, and in 2013 gave us a rom-com double-whammy with Baggage Claim and The Best Man Holiday. This year, Diggs rocked Broadway as the lead in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, his most bold and celebrated role to date.   (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)
Omar Epps - Before starring in The Wood, Omar Epps was already a  well-noted young actor, leading such hit films as Juice, Higher Learning and The Mod Squad. Following the film, Epps played Dr. Eric Foreman on the TV medical drama House. After that ended in 2012, he starred in the 2014 series Resurrection, but has not been seen on the big or small screen since.(Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images)Richard T. Jones - In the role of Slim, actor Richard T. Jones was convincing as a guy who scoffed at marriage. The cold-hearted conviction served him well for his most memorable roles in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? (2007) and Why Did I Get Married Too? (2010). Jones also ventured to TV playing Governor Sam Denning on Hawaii Five-0 and then on to NCIS: New Orleans in 2015. He also starred in the 2015 film Hot Pursuit and Concussion, which is currently in post-production.(Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)
