Random Cast Of 'Mean Girls': Where Are They Now? (15 items)

• 

  (#2) Tina Fey

  • 48

  More than just the writer of Mean Girls, Tina Fey also stars as Sharon Norbury, the school's calculus teacher. In the film, Fey delivers fewer of the sharp lines she became known for on Saturday Night Live, but she acts as the moral center and straight man, letting everyone else blow up the movie with their manic energy.

  Since Mean Girl's release in 2004, Fey's kept busy. In 2006 she created and starred in 30 Rock, she co-hosted the Golden Globes with Amy Poehler, and she created Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - and somewhere along the way she also wrote her autobiography Bossypants. 

  In 2018, Fey brought Mean Girls to Broadway and garnered 12 Tony nominations in the process.

  (#3) Rachel McAdams

  • 40

  Regina George constitutes the absolute worst of high school politics. As the leader of the Plastics, she makes life a living hell for everyone at North Shore High School, especially after her Burn Book becomes public knowledge.

  In real life, Rachel McAdams is the complete opposite of her nightmare Mean Girls character. In 2015, she donated $75,000 to the Nanny Angel Network for Canada's CIBC Miracle Day. Aside from her charitable demeanor, she's appeared in movies like The Time Traveler's Wife, both Sherlock Holmes movies, Doctor Strange, and Spotlight, for which she received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

  (#6) Lizzy Caplan

  • 33

  Oh Janis Ian, the only goth at North Shore High School, you're so cool. Janis becomes one of Cady's first friends, and she acts as the audience's primer for the cliques of the school. Also you've got the coldest heart on the planet if you don't tear up when Cady breaks her Spring Fling tiara into multiple pieces and hands one of them to Janis.

  Since Mean Girls, Lizzy Caplan's appeared in everything from cult classics like Party Down to Masters of Sex and magic heist movie Now You See Me 2. Amusingly, she appears in The Disaster Artist as herself. In 2018 she stopped by the Broadway adaptation of Mean Girls and gave the new Janis her approval with some pics.

  (#9) Rajiv Surendra

  • 30

  As the mathelete Kevin Gnapoor, Rajiv Surendra definitely plays a character on the bottom of the food chain, but he's definitely too cool to care - which is why he ends up with Janis by the end of the movie.

  Post-movie, Surendra is a respected chalk artist and author of the book The Elephants in My Backyard. When auditions for the titular character in Life of Pi were underway, Surendra tried out, feeling his own upbringing strongly resembled that of Pi. In 2016 he told Architectural Digest, "Since I was a little kid, if I was interested in something I just found a way of doing it, whether it was making pottery in my basement or keeping chickens in my backyard."

  (#7) Daniel Franzese

  • 40

  As Damien in Mean Girls, Daniel Franzese spends most of his time hanging with Lizzy Caplan's Janis. He sings, he dances, he chucks a shoe at the school talent show. A fan of Danny DeVito's work, he provides the fateful candy canes that crack Gretchen Weiners.

  Since appearing in the film, Franzese pops up all over film and television, guesting on properties like HBO's Looking and ABC's Conviction. In 2018, he told People that playing Damien helped him come out.

  (#5) Amanda Seyfried

  • 33

  As Karen Smith, the most out-of-it member of the Plastics, Amanda Seyfried utters immortal lines like, "If you're from Africa, why are you white?" and, "My breasts can always tell when it's going to rain."

  Since trying fit her whole fist in her mouth, Seyfried has been all over the place. She appeared as Lilly Kane in season one of Veronica Mars, and she starred in Jennifer's Body as well both Mama Mia films. Aside from those films, she's appeared in at least one film a year.

  In 2018, Seyfried told The Morning Call, "Playing Karen was easy. I actually started with the idea of Marilyn Monroe. I tried using that softer voice. And I also thought of the character Thomas Haden Church played on Wings. And I channeled myself the way I was in high school because I’d sometimes play dumb to stay out of different dramas. It was easier for me that way."
