  (#3) Rachel McAdams

  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.

  (#7) Daniel Franzese

  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.

  (#15) Diego Klattenhoff

  It's the Spring Fling King, Shane Oman, himself. While he doesn't have the most prominent part in the film, he does get to tell Regina that Kalteen Bars actually make people gain weight. He's also seeing Regina behind Aaron's back.

  Diego Klattenhoff has had a slow burn of a career, but in 2013 he appeared in Pacific Rim and started a 90-plus episode arc on The Blacklist. When looking back on the scene where Aaron almost catches Shane making out with Regina, Klattenhoff told the Huffington Post that he "kept falling out" of the "funny underwear" the director stuck him in.

  (#14) Daniel DeSanto

  • 38

  Remember that guy who got hit in the face with a boom box after the Plastics performed "Jingle House Rock"? That's Jason, Gretchen's boyfriend who needs to go shave his back. He also asks Cady if she wants some butter on her muffin.

  After appearing in Mean Girls, Daniel DeSanto went into voice acting. He's been in tons of cartoons, specifically PAW Patrol and Total Drama.

  (#12) Ana Gasteyer

  • 51

  As Betsy Heron, Ana Gasteyer has the thankless job of trying to parent a young woman who tries to fit in with the cool girls at school. A research zoologist who spent the last 12 years in Africa with her family, she's now stuck trying to figure out the societal norms of suburban Illinois.

  Like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Tim Meadows, Gasteyer is a Saturday Night Live alum who knows how to shine in a guest spot. If you watch shows like Suburgatory, Younger, or People of Earth then you've seen her work her comedy chops. When Gasteyer takes a break from television, she's on Broadway in shows like First Wives Club.

  (#6) Lizzy Caplan

  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.
