Maybe It Was 'The Chad'

In the original Charlie's Angels, Tom Green, Drew Barrymore's then boyfriend and now ex-husband, played the neurotic (and nefarious) Chad who thought it was his fault that Barrymore's character was always leaving him. Even though he was always reassured that it wasn't "the Chad," perhaps there was an ounce of truth in his neurosis.

Since Green is out of Barrymore's life, he's also out of her sequel Charlie's Angels 2: Halo. Justin Theroux has been tapped to play the Chad-like character of Barrymore's ex-boyfriend. Of course, if fickle Hollywood finds Green and Barrymore back together when they shoot the inevitable third Charlie's Angels movie, perhaps they could call it "Episode VI: Return Of The Chad."
