- Jack Black as Dewey Finn. You probably knew him then and you still know him now. Black had endless roles under his belt — from The Neverending Story III to Shallow Hal — when he slipped into the (stolen) substitute teacher uniform of dejected rock star Dewey Finn.
- Joan Cusack as Rosalie Mullins. Like Black, Cusack was quite well known (and had two Oscar nominations to her name) when she landed the role of uptight principal Rosalie Mullins in School of Rock (according to casting director Ilene Starger, she didn't even have to audition).
- Mike White as Ned Schneebly. White both wrote in and co-starred in the film, flexing the skills he'd developed on Dawson's Creek (for which he wrote) and Chuck & Buck (in which he acted).
- Sarah Silverman as Patty Di Marco. According to Starger, Tina Fey auditioned for the role that would go to Silverman, who was "hilarious" when she read for Ned's beleaguered girlfriend, Patty Di Marco.
