', Then: Rory Cochrane's portrayal of Slater in 'Dazed and Confused' taught a whole new generation of stoners how to properly use the farewell statement "check ya later." Seven years later he was a cast member in another Linklater project, the trippy animated  film 'Waking Life.' Now: Wiggins, now 35, has appeared in a handful of movies since his days as Mitch. Before Dazed and Confused, she scandalized audiences in Return to the Blue Lagoon, and she stole the spotlight as Leeloo, the super-powered being in Luc Besson's The Fifth Element. Her real-life counterpart, Christin Hinojosa, has a similarly impressive attitude, only instead of hanging out with the cool kids, she spends her time helping those who are far less fortunate. But who's the actor playing the hair-flipping pitcher? Lately he turned director, helming and starring in the critically-acclaimed 2010 crime drama 'The Town' and the upcoming drama 'Argo. One of the biggest stars to come out of Dazed and Confused, Milla Jovovich was only onscreen for a handful of moments, but she left a lasting impression as Michelle, the guitar-strumming stoner. Whether he's trying to escape from a gang of paddle-wielding seniors or get it on with an older girl, Mitch is the kid we're all cheering on.

Goldberg has certainly worked consistently in the industry. Played by Adam Goldberg, Mike is the most uptight member of the intellectual trio (rounded out by Mike and Cynthia), and while he might eventually wind up in law school someday, Goldberg went on to have one of the most successful careers of anyone involved with Dazed and Confused.

He also has a role in the upcoming Ben Affleck political thriller 'Argo.'. She also happens to have an actor brother in the industry, Giovanni Ribisi. Recently he turned up on 'Dallas' and as a voice on 'Lego Hero Factory.'.

After a couple of hours of drinking and chatting, McConaughey was invited to audition, and the rest, as they say, is history. In 2006, the actor showed up as a junkie in the director's rotoscoped adaptation of A Scanner Darkly, sharing the screen with Keanu Reeves, Woody Harrelson, and Robert Downey, Jr. We’ve also seen him in many TV shows such as Entourage, The Practice, Will & Grace, Joey, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, NYC 22, The Unusuals, Fargo, and The Jim Gaffigan Show.

He lives, to this day, in Austin, where the film was shot. Richard Linklater was the director of this coming-of-age story that was actually set in the '70s. Wiggins was hitting the Hollywood scene as a talented up-and-coming actor. Otherwise, we’re not sure how he’s paying his bills.
He played Randall “Pink” Floyd, the rising football star who refused to sign a pledge that would force him to not do drugs over the summer. He does have a habit of playing the creepy guy really well. When most people think about Dazed and Confused, they remember characters like Slater or Wooderson, but really, freshman Mitch Kramer is the guy we're rooting for. We all just wanted to make sure we were at the popular table and at the best parties. Meet the 'Bachelor' Contestants for Season 24!

More recently, he's popped up in a smattering of high-profile movies like Public Enemies, Oculus, and Black Mass. ', Now: Along with McConaughey, Affleck has long since crossed the threshold into mega-star. They actually got married for a very brief moment until Milla’s parents found out and had it annulled because she was only 16 at the time. However, Hinojosa quickly grew "bored" with acting. She's been in a few TV series, though, such as Diagnosis: Murder, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, The Last Don, The Last Don II, and Little Men. Do you feel old yet? With that statuette in hand, the actor went on to star in Michael Bay blockbusters Armageddon and Pearl Harbor before hitting a rough patch of movies like Daredevil, Gigli, and Surviving Christmas. Then: 'Dazed and Confused' gave a young actress named Parker Posey her debut in a feature film as seriously vicious haze-crazed cheerleader Darla Marks.
Then: Wiley Wiggins was only 16 years old when he played the young Mitch Kramer in 'Dazed and Confused.' Then: Marissa Ribisi, sister of actor Giovanni Ribisi, made her film debut in 'Dazed and Confused' as Cynthia Dunn, Mike and Tony's friend with the memorable red afro. He certainly hasn’t had the fame that Affleck has had. The producers must've loved her look because she was on both the covers of the DVD and the VHS; plus, she was on all the promotional posters despite the fact that her role wasn’t very big. In fact, he currently has 113 credits to his name, so you've got to give him props for keeping busy. Click through the gallery to see what the cast of the film looks like now!
