- 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.

- Jack Black. Soon after his breakout performance in School of Rock, Black experienced more success in film. From his more comical work in films such as Nacho Libre and Gulliver’s Travels to his more dramatic turns in King Kong and Bernie, Black has taken on roles in a variety of genres.
- Joan Cusack. Following her performance as the by-the-book, high-strung Principal Mullins, Cusack has gone on to appear in several under-the-radar, independent features such as Friends With Money, where she co-starred with Frances McDormand, Jennifer Aniston, and Catherine Keener, and the black comedy Welcome to Me with Kristen Wiig.
- Sarah Silverman. Silverman’s career as a stand-up comedienne quickly catapulted after her performance as the domineering girlfriend of Black’s roommate Ned.
- Mike White. Mike White’s success post-School of Rock has come mostly behind the camera instead of in front. White, who was the screenwriter of Rock, went on to create, write and produce television shows such as Cracking Up and Enlightened.
