Dazed and Confused doesn't really have a main character, but if one were to choose one, it would probably be Randall 'Pink' Floyd (Jason London). Pink (whose nickname we can only assume is a reference to rock band Pink Floyd) is very much presented as the "straight" character, being the voice of reason whenever any of his high school peers act out ...
Even if you've seen Dazed and Confused a hundred times, you might not realize that Simone Kerr (Joey Lauren Adams) is Pink's girlfriend. She only appears in a handful of scenes and has even less dialogue, but really one of the few major details that even suggests Simone is dating Pink is when Pink and Jodi Kramer (Michelle Burke) are making out in ...
Michelle Burroughs (Milla Jovovich) is another small character who utters barely a word of dialogue. However, Michelle is still a more than memorable presence even when, most of the time, she's doing nothing more than smoking pot and playing guitar. Jovovich would later be launched into action stardom as the face of Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Ev...
Kevin Pickford (Shawn Andrews) was primed to be the most popular high schooler in town on the last day of school, as he was supposed to be hosting the big end-of-year party. Everything seemed perfect and ready to go as his parents were about to leave the house unintended for a vacation, but things take a hard turn when a beer keg delivery shows up ...
Perhaps the most recognizable character in Dazed and Confused is Ron Slater (Rory Cochrane). Almost every poster and trailer includes Ron and his signature hat and long hair, being the archetypal stoner guy in a movie filled to the brim with stoner characters. Most of Ron's screen time is taken up by him smoking pot with his friends and rambling ab...
While everyone else is partying without a care in the world, Mike Newhouse (Adam Goldberg) tries his damnedest to be a bit more mature and responsible. In many ways, he and his friends Tony Olson (Anthony Rapp) and Cynthia Dunn (Marissa Ribisi) go against the grain in thinking that their peers' hazing habits and tormenting other students are childi...
Mike's best friend Tony is probably the nicest person in the film. It's abundantly clear that he wants nothing to do with the ridiculous and ultimately arbitrary societal rules that the other kids constantly impose on each other, instead just wanting to hang out with his friends and relax. Tony is much more interested in Sabrina Davis (Christin Hin...
Don Dawson (Sasha Jenson) is an interesting beast. We first see him hanging out with the more protagonist group with Pink and Ron, but we also see him hanging around with Fred O'Bannion and his gang of bullies. All in all, Don is a go-with-the-flow kind of guy, even if that flow takes him on a path that involves hitting first-year students with pad...
Cynthia Dunn is the third member of the trio consisting of Mike and Tony as a part of the "teenagers are immature losers" crew. She certainly isn't given nearly as much to do as Mike and Tony do, but there are hints that she may have a bit of a crush on David Wooderson (Matthew McConaughey). Marissa Ribisi would stick with nineties comedies with Pl...
One of the many generic popular girls at the school, Shavonne Wright (Deena Martin) is one of several older students who try to dominate the newer batch of first-years. Deena Martin has only appeared in a handful of feature films, but fans of Swingers will likely recognize her as the person that Mikey (Jon Favreau) calls in that infamously awkward ...
