2. Corey (Liv Tyler)

Important quote fromEmpire Records: "And I did love you, and I still ... only I didn't realize that it really was love because it was more than love and it wasn't just some stupid feeling in my stomach like everything else and I'll never love anybody as much as you and I hate you! I hate you!"

What she's up to now: Oh you know, just being Arwen, a spokeswoman for Givenchy, a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for the United States, writing a book on etiquette with her grandmother Dorothea Johnson, and starring in a bunch of other films. She also has a son, Milo William Langdon.

3. Lucas (Rory Cochrane)

Important quote fromEmpire Records: Ugh, so many, but especially "What's with today today?"

What he's up to now: After a slow few years post-Empire, our man Lucas has had a pretty awesome career, appearing inCSI: Miami from 2002–2007, and then most recently finding success (and a ticket to the Oscars) as one of the hostages inArgo. He's not on Twitter, but here's a sad fan with one tweet who is.

4. Gina (Renée Zellweger)

Important quote fromEmpire Records: "Well, Sinead O'Rebellion. Shock me, shock me, shock me with that deviant behavior."

What she's up to now: Girl has accomplished a lot sinceEmpire Records — she's been nominated for three Oscars and won one (forCold Mountain). She's also dated a bunch of different weirdos, including the White Stripes' Jack White, Jim Carrey, and country singer Kenny Chesney, who she married and then divorced, citing "fraud." Most recently, she dated Bradley Cooper. Zellweger hasn't made a movie since 2010, but the thirdBridget Jones' Diary movie is in pre-production.

5. A.J. (Johnny Whitworth)

Important quote fromEmpire Records: [on quarters glued to the floor] "I don't feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren."

What he's up to now: In keeping with the procedural drama theme ofEmpire Records cast members, Whitworth played Detective Jake Berkeley fromCSI: Miami from 2006–2010. He's also been in several films, including the Bradley Cooper vehicleLimitless, where he played a super-smarmy drug dealer.

6. Debra (Robin Tunney)

Important quote fromEmpire Records: "Well you can't kill me 'cause I'm already dead. And I talked to God, and she says, 'Yo, wassup?' and she wants you to lose the gun."

What she's up to now: Right after makingEmpire Records, Tunney starred inThe Craft — one of the greatest films of all time. She didn't have any other huge roles in the movies, but these days she is killin' it on CBS's cop dramaThe Mentalist, where she is the straight woman to Simon Baker's faux-psychic craziness. What would Deb think?! Tunney is also a really good poker player who came in second (to Jason Alexander) in the eighth season finale ofCelebrity Poker Showdown.

7. Mark (Ethan Embry)

Important quote fromEmpire Records: "Damn the man. Save the Empire."

What he's up to now: AfterEmpire Records, Embry continued to be a total hottie in important films such asWhite Squall,That Thing You Do!, and, of course,Can't Hardly Wait. His recent career has been less heartthrobby, but he continues to work in both television and film. He's been divorced twice and has one child, and he wears the hat pictured above to every notable public appearance he makes, it seems. He is awesome at Twitter.

8. Joe Reaves (Anthony LaPaglia)

Important quote fromEmpire Records: "Let me explain it to you. Mitchell's the man. I'm the idiot. You're the screw-up. And we're all losers. Welcome to music town."

What he's up to now: His movie career was kind of meh, but LaPaglia found success when he starred as Jack Malone on the popular CBS police dramaWithout A Trace from 2002–2009. There is a very well-maintained fan site for him here, but he does not seem to have his own online presence.

9. Rex Manning (Maxwell Caulfield)

Important quote fromEmpire Records: "Say no more / Mon amour / I'll bring my lovin' right to your front door / Here I come / Baby je t'adore / Lips are for kissing baby / So say no more!"

Important quote fromEmpire Records: "They're my special recipe...and you know what that means... Lots of sugar."
