The Supporting Cast: Oscar Winners and Emmy Royalty

What makes the She's All That cast so remarkable is the sheer amount of talent that filled the supporting roles. Many of these actors went on to become major stars, winning Hollywood's highest honors and anchoring some of the most successful television shows of the 21st century. The density of star power in this 1999 film is truly astounding.

Kieran Culkin (Simon Boggs)

Kieran Culkin, who played Laney’s younger brother, Simon Boggs, had a quiet but steady career for years before achieving stratospheric success. His portrayal of the cynical, sharp-witted Roman Roy in the critically acclaimed HBO series Succession (2018–2023) earned him a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. His performance cemented him as one of the most respected actors of his generation, a far cry from the high school halls of Fairport High.

Anna Paquin (Mackenzie Siler)

Anna Paquin, who played Zack's younger sister, Mackenzie Siler, was already an Academy Award winner (for The Piano) before she even appeared in the film. Her career continued its upward trajectory, most famously as the mutant Rogue in the blockbuster X-Men film franchise. However, her most defining role was Sookie Stackhouse in the massive HBO vampire drama True Blood (2008–2014), for which she won a Golden Globe. Paquin consistently takes on diverse and complex roles in both film and television.

Gabrielle Union (Katrina)

Gabrielle Union, who had a small but memorable role as one of Taylor Vaughan's friends, Katrina, quickly became a Hollywood powerhouse. The year after She's All That, she starred in the iconic cheerleading comedy Bring It On (2000), which became a cultural phenomenon. Union has maintained a prolific career, starring in films like Bad Boys II and the TV series Being Mary Jane. Her most recent projects include starring and executive producing the drama series Pretty Little Wife and the star-studded movie Riff Raff.

The talent pool extended even deeper into the supporting roles, featuring actors who would become household names in other major TV and film franchises. The film's ensemble truly was a who's who of future stars.

Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (Taylor Vaughan)

O'Keefe played the popular, self-absorbed Taylor Vaughan, whose betrayal sets the entire plot in motion. After She's All That, she had long-running roles on major television shows, including Cassidy Bridges on Nash Bridges and Gretchen Morgan on the hit series Prison Break. She also appeared in the supernatural drama The Vampire Diaries as Jo Laughlin.

Elden Henson (Jesse Jackson)

Elden Henson, who played Laney’s friend Jesse Jackson, has had a versatile career spanning decades. He is perhaps best known to a new generation of fans for his roles as Foggy Nelson in the Marvel/Netflix series Daredevil and as Fulton Reed in the beloved The Mighty Ducks film series, which he reprised for the Disney+ series The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers.

Dulé Hill (Preston)

Dulé Hill, who played Preston, one of Zack’s friends, has enjoyed a long and successful career in television. He is most famous for his roles as Charlie Young in the critically acclaimed political drama The West Wing and as Burton "Gus" Guster in the comedy-mystery series Psych, which has also spawned several successful TV movies.

Kevin Pollak (Wayne Boggs)

Veteran actor Kevin Pollak played Laney’s father, Wayne Boggs. Pollak is a renowned comedian and character actor known for films like A Few Good Men and The Usual Suspects. He has remained consistently busy in Hollywood, appearing in numerous films and TV series, including a recurring role on the Amazon series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

The Legacy of the Ultimate 90s Teen Movie

The enduring popularity of She's All That speaks to its perfect encapsulation of the late 90s aesthetic and its successful modern retelling of the classic Pygmalion story. The movie's influence is still felt today, most directly through the 2021 gender-swapped remake, He's All That, which starred Addison Rae and featured cameos from both Rachael Leigh Cook and Matthew Lillard.

The major news of Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook reuniting for the 2025 holiday movie The Christmas is a testament to the chemistry and nostalgia associated with the original film. It gives fans a chance to see the beloved on-screen couple together again, over 25 years after their high school romance captivated a generation. The cast's continuous success—from a Primetime Emmy win for Kieran Culkin to the enduring legacy of Paul Walker—ensures that the story of Fairport High will continue to be discussed for years to come.
