Matthew Lillard as Stevo from "SLC Punk!" in the "Fat Kid Rules the World" deleted scene

Ever wonder what happened to Stevo, played by Matthew Lillard, from the 1998 film SLC Punk!? Well, in the 2012 film Fat Kid Rules the World, directed by Lillard, his character is revisited, this time as a grown-up high school guidance counselor who offers “advice” to the titular character, the “fat kid” Troy.

Ultimately, Lillard cut the scene from the film, explaining, “the idea of an homage to SLC Punk! and seeing Stevo all grown up was great, but it didn’t work. I sucked, and it slowed the movie down when the thing I like about the movie is that it’s quick and sharp.”

Fortunately, Stevo will be revisited and his fate explained in the forthcoming sequel SLC Punk! 2: Punk’s Dead, due out in 2014. The entire cast, sans Jason Segel, will be returning to reprise their roles. And you can watch the deleted scene from Fat Kid below.
