Jon Heder in ‘Napoleon Dynamite’

Fox Searchlight Pictures

What’s more awkward than keeping tots in your fanny pack or trying to show off your sweet nunchuck skills? How about playing a 16-year-old when you’re actually 26? That’s the situation unknown actor Jon Heder found himself in when he joined the cast of “Napoleon Dynamite,” but luckily for him it turned out to be comedy gold and helped him land more awkward roles in the bigger-budget movies “The Benchwarmers” and “Blades of Glory.”
