Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, "A Walk to Remember" was released in 2002 and quickly became an early 2000's classic. The film is a tear-jerking tale of Jamie Sullivan, a girl living with leukemia, and Landon Carter, a "bad boy," who fall in love in the beautiful setting of North Carolina.
Seventeen years later, the movie's cast members have gone on to do a variety of films and television series.
