After a few more substantial supporting roles, Amy Adams took on a glorified cameo as cheerleader Doreen in the 2002 coming-of-age sports drama The Slaughter Rule.

Plus: our Ryan Gosling origin stories, the distinct vibe of early aughts Sundance, and whether or not Amy would put a deer out of its misery.
