That scene in Dazed and Confused where Matthew McConauhgey's overgrown high-school student Wooderson asks incoming frosh Mitch (played by Wily Wiggins) if he's holding is indelibly marked in stoners' minds, so much so that the Texas actor was recently voted the Next Top CelebStoner (poll #7).

In the scene, Mitch is going out for a night on the town with a bunch of seniors. He enters Wooderson's car. Wooderson turns to his right and looks at Wiggins, then utters the infamous line:

"Say man, you got a joint?"

Dumbfounded, Wiggins scratches his head and mumbles:

"Ah, no, not on me, man."

Wooderson, somewhat disappointed, turns again and says in his coolest Texas drawl:

"It’d be a lot cooler if you did." 

Dazed and Confused (1993) was McConaughey's screen debut. Since then, he's appeared in nearly 30 movies, including We Are Marshall, Sahara, A Time to Kill and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days with Kate Hudson. He's routinely selected as one of the "World's Sexiest Men" by magazines like People.

In 1999, McConaughey was arrested in Austin for possessing marijuana and paraphernaila, and for playing loud music with fellow Dazed and Confused alum Cole Hauser. Observed banging the bongos naked, this made for amusing tabloid headlines. The pot and bong charges were dropped, and he paid a $50 fine for the noise violation.

In the poll, with 31% of the vote, McConaughey defeated Sarah Silverman (20%), Montel Williams (16%), B-Real (15%), Drew Barrymore (12%) and Kate Hudson (6%). He's the 15th Top CelebStoner (seven have been elected).
