- 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.
