American actor Christopher Marquette was in his early 20s when he played Mike Brander -- the annoying younger brother in love with a Hollywood pop singer -- in the 2005 Christmas rom-com "Just Friends".

Christopher shared the big screen with Ryan Reynolds as the former high school geek turned hot Hollywood music agent and Mike's older bro, Chris, Anna Faris as the ditsy, promiscuous pop singer, Samantha James and Amy Smart as Chris's high school crush turned school teacher, Jamie Palamino.

Marquette was also in "The Girl Next Door" and "Alpha Dog."

It's unclear if he's telegraphing a message to his detractors, in the wake of Kendrick's "Not Like Us" that caused a tidal wave of criticism claiming Drake was a sellout. The $$$ ref is undeniable -- Drake has killed it in that department.
