The 1997 film "I Know What You Did Last Summer" directed by Jim Gillespie was the first serious actor's work, despite the fact that it was filmed in a fairly easy manner and was classified as a slasher, that is, horror films.

In the following year, a follow-up film appeared on the screens. "I still know what you did last summer." This picture was filmed by another director, Danny Cannon, but with the old cast. Since both films immediately became very popular, Freddie Prince Jr. gained fame in youth circles and in his further career tried to participate in film projects on a youth theme.

"It's all hers"

A year later, Fred starred in his next film, titled "It's All Her," staged by Robert Iskow. The picture repeats the classic theme of Cinderella and simultaneously echoes the "Pigmalion" of Bernard Shaw. After this film, in which Freddie played the main role, he became a famous actor not only in the US, but throughout the world.

After the success of the film "It's all hers," Freddie Prince Jr. began to star in only the leading roles. And since the role of the actor was quite wide, there was a long line of films on various topics with his participation: "Summer Games" directed by McLarly Tollin, "Just You and Me" directed by Chris Isakson, "Upside Down" by Mark S. Waters, " Boys and Girls "directed by Robert Iskov," Squadron Commander "(directed by Chris Roberts). Films with Freddie Prince Jr. quickly became popular and brought good box office.

To the place of training of baseball players began to come Tekli Parrish, who was sent to rest by rich parents.

The girl is not against acquaintance with the beautiful young man, and Ryan Dunn takes the initiative. Acquaintance develops into mutual love, and this does not please Tekli's parents at all. However, thanks to the obstacles that had to be overcome by lovers, their feelings were only getting stronger. Eventually, everything settled, and Ryan continued to meet with Tekli.

Gradually, the relationship between Jennifer and Ryan goes into a different phase.

Christopher Blair

"Squadron Commander" is a fantasy film in which pilots of space vehicles compete with aliens of Kilrathi. The conflict is protracted in the course of which the Kilrathi win one victory after another. They attacked the ground base "Pegasus" and captured a computer with a database of spatial movements of the planet Earth in remote parts of the solar system. Having received such important information, the Kilrathi begin to prepare for the attack of the Earth.

These plans are successfully confronted by pilot Christopher Blair (Freddy Prince Jr.), recently graduated from flying school. The Blair fighter is conducting a reconnaissance flight and passes the direction of the Kilrathi warship to Earth. He is ready to continue fighting, but he ends fuel, and Blair begins to drift in outer space.

"Scooby Doo"

In 2000, on the initiative of People magazine, actor Freddie Prince Jr. was included in the list of 50 most beautiful people in the world. And two years later he played Fred Jones in the film "Scooby Doo" directed by Raji Gosnell. The picture is based on comic-mystical events taking place in Spring Break. The main female role was played by the wife of actor Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Blockbuster "Scooby Doo" was a resounding success, box office was a record. Producers, without delay, launched a sequel to the movie called "Scooby Doo 2: Monsters on Freedom." The budget of the new picture was not as high as it was, 13 soundtracks were used in the film, which is very expensive, taking into account the consolidated results of the artist's fees of performers, soloists, accompanists and composers.

The Art of Scoring

The sequel to "Scooby Doo 2" was released in the spring of 2004, but the success of the first film did not exceed, although the place in the ratings ranked confidently. Then the animated film "The New Adventures of Cinderella" was created on the basis of computer technologies, and Freddie Prince Jr., whose filmography at that time already contained more than 30 paintings, could, for a variety, take up the voice acting of the cartoon film, which he did in the company of Sarah Gellar .

Being a truly creative person, Fred tried to try himself in other aspects of cinema, namely, in producing and writing scripts. One of his examples is the series "Mutants X". However, the combination of several, albeit related, professions in filmmaking requires self-sacrifice and the rejection of personal life. Therefore, Freddie Prince Jr. remains primarily a highly qualified actor.
