James "Jim" Levenstein
James Emmanuel "Jim" Levenstein is the main protagonist of the four primary films in the American Pie series. He is an awkward everyman who wants to lose his virginity. He first appears in American Pie, where he is trying to lose his virginity before the end of high school and begins to pursue Czech exchange student Nadia. Stifler persuades him to set up a webcam in his room so that they can all watch it together. The plan backfires, though, when Nadia discovers Jim's pornography collection and sits half-naked on his bed to read it. Jim is forced to return to his room, where he joins Nadia, unaware that he accidentally sent the weblink to the entire school directory. As Nadia is preparing to have sex with him, he prematurely ejaculates twice, humiliating himself live in front of the entire school. Shortly afterwards Nadia leaves school and goes back home, now leaving Jim completely dateless for prom and ruining his chances of securing a date. Out of panic, Jim asks band geek Michelle Flaherty to the senior prom as she is apparently the only girl at his school who did not see what happened. He succeeds in getting Michelle into bed where she behaves aggressively before leaving him to wake up alone. The film ends with Jim and his friends eating breakfast before toasting to the next step.Jim reappears in American Pie 2 where he and his friends rent a house at Lake Michigan in the summer break at the end of their freshman year. After keeping in contact with Nadia, who is traveling across the US, Nadia agrees to join Jim at his beach party. When Jim decides to turn on a porn movie that Stifler rented, he accidentally uses superglue instead of lubricant to masturbate, permanently gluing his entire hand to his penis and boxer shorts. Shocked and frightened, he takes out the porn cassette but ends up bonding the cassette to his other hand. Unable to open any doors, he climbs out of a window and stumbles onto the rooftop where he is caught by police officers. He is supported at the hospital by his father Noah, where he learns the news that he won't be able to have sex for at least a whole week, the same amount of time before the party is due to occur. When Nadia turns up earlier than expected, Michelle acts as his fake girlfriend so that he won't have to have sex with Nadia until his penis has healed. At the party Jim has an epiphany and realizes that it isn't Nadia he loves but Michelle. Nadia is upset that Jim chose a geek over her, but is happy for Jim and allows him to go and find Michelle, performing at band camp. He gatecrashes the performance with a trombone, just like he did before, but with much more style and confidence, and romantically makes out with Michelle in front of the cheering crowd.
In American Wedding, Jim has somewhat less screen time in comparison to the first two films and Reunion. In the opening scene, he proposes to Michelle after a few problems in attempting. She enthusiastically agrees. Jim is worried about dancing at the wedding, but salvation comes in the form of Steve Stifler, who promises to teach Jim in return of a wedding invite. Jim reluctantly agrees much to the rest of the guests disappointment. Stifler also takes charge of the bachelor party but unfortunately collides the dates with the day Jim was supposedly setting up a dinner to impress Michelle's parents. Although it appears all is ruined, Stifler and Finch cover for Jim and thankfully get the Flaherty's blessing. Scared on the days building toward the wedding, Jim shaves his pubic hair in an attempt to impress Michelle even further. However, disaster strikes as his pubes inadvertently fall into the air conditioning covering their wedding cake. A new one is made and Jim encounters another embarrassing heart-heart with his father. On the day of the wedding, Jim announces his appreciation and love for his friends Paul Finch, Kevin Myers and Steve Stifler and then happily marries Michelle.
In Band Camp, Noah Levenstein informs Stifler's younger brother Matt of Michelle's pregnancy revealing that the character is to become a father.

Also, Jim must avoid the advances of Kara, an 18-year-old girl he once babysat when she was young, who wants to lose her virginity to him. Seeing how her situation mirrors his own when he was her age in the original film, Jim teaches her that it is best if she waits for someone special.
Michelle Flaherty
Michelle Annabeth Flaherty first appears in American Pie as a supporting character. Jim asks her to the prom as she pretends to be the only person in the school who has not seen the video of Jim prematurely ejaculating. After the prom, Jim loses his virginity to Michelle, who proves to be surprisingly aggressive in bed, and she later leaves him to wake up alone. He quickly gets over being upset as he is excited about being "used".Michelle reappears in American Pie 2 in a much larger role. Here, her friendship with Jim grows over the summer and eventually she begins to fall in love with him. She explains that she didn't ditch Jim the morning after prom intentionally. It was done out of fear of rejection as she thought the date was over and was worried that Jim would have done the same to her. She later pretends to be Jim's girlfriend so he won't have to have sex with Nadia until his sore penis has healed. She stages a break up in front of Nadia who later goes to the party with Jim. However, Michelle is upset about Jim's interest in Nadia as opposed to her. Jim later realizes his love for Michelle, and decides to just be friends with Nadia. He goes to find Michelle at band camp, and gatecrashes the performance with a trombone and confidently kisses Michelle in front of a supportive crowd, therefore beginning a relationship with her.
In American Wedding, Michelle and Jim have continued dating and she accepts Jim's proposal of marriage at the beginning of the film. Michelle settles on a dress but it is only made by one particular dressmaker so Jim and his friends set out to find him for her. Michelle and Jim's plans are almost ruined when Stifler turns up to the engagement party although they had planned to not invite him. After several misadventures, including one with the flowers being killed which Stifler later fixes, Michelle and Jim marry.
Band Camp revealed that after the events of American Wedding, Michelle became an annual MACRO at Tall Oaks Band Camp. However, she could not attend in the 2005 semester as she was heavily pregnant with Jim's baby. She requested that Noah, Jim's father, take her place, a request he received with much pride. In Naked Mile, Noah informs Erik Stifler that she had in fact given birth to a baby, to which he announced was a happy occasion.
In American Reunion, it is revealed that Michelle and Jim do not have sex anymore, due to their parental responsibilities. Jim is watching porn on his computer when he is interrupted by Evan, and he accidentally throws a tube sock on him. He goes to the bathroom, where he discovers Michelle pleasuring herself in the bathtub with a shower head. The two speak about the incident on the way back to their hometown for their class reunion, and Michelle reveals she knows about Jim watching porn. They both agree to have plenty of sex over the weekend. The next morning, Jim is hungover and wakes up on the kitchen floor. Michelle and her old band camp friend, Selena, come in the kitchen to clean up the mess that Jim and his friends left the previous night, and Jim realizes he is not wearing anything below the torso. When Michelle asks Jim to hand her the paper towels, he must cover his genital area with pots and pans, but accidentally covers up with a clear pot lid, which embarrasses Michelle.
At the beach, Michelle is annoyed that Jim is obviously ogling Oz's model girlfriend, Mia. She tells Selena that she is worried that her and Jim's sex life isn't going well ever since she became a mother, but Selena convinces her to get past that obstacle. Jim tells Michelle that the guys wanted to go the falls, and Michelle volunteers to take care of Evan, promising him a night of sex when he comes home. However, Jim's escapades during the night result in him falling asleep almost immediately after he comes home, much to Michelle's dismay. Jim tells Michelle that he will make up for it by having sex with her at Stifler's house party. Sometime after they arrive, Michelle brings Jim into a spare bedroom and reveals she brought BDSM clothing for them to change into. When Michelle leaves, Jim awaits her return, but is greeted by Kara, who tries to rape him. When Jim is chased out of the house and attacked by Kara's boyfriend and his friends, Michelle walks out and whips one of them. Jim then attempts to explain the situation, angering both Kara and Michelle in the process; Michelle tells Jim she will stay at her grandmother's house. At the class reunion, Michelle shows up without telling Jim, and they both lightheartedly act like strangers before they go into the high school's band room and have sex on a desk. They are interrupted briefly by Nadia, Jim's past muse. The sex helps reconcile Jim and Michelle's relationship.
