In 2001 Topher had a cameo role in Ocean's Eleven, whose director, Steven Soderbergh, also directed Traffic. Topher played himself, but an exagerrated version along with some other Hollywood teen stars such as Holly Marie Combs (Charmed), Shane West (Once and Again), Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek) and Barry Watson (7th Heaven). He showed more of his sarcastic tongue-in-cheek side in the film and got to work with the likes of George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Even though it was small, the role got him attention from some critics.
