Not to mention Bebe Neuwirth, Janeane Garofalo, LL Cool J, Michael Stipe, Chris Elliott, Michelle Trachtenberg (RIP) and... Sam Riegel?? How in the hell...
It's honestly crazy how many of them went on to even bigger careers somehow after Pete & Pete. Chris Elliott's Get A Life had just ended the same year Pete & Pete started but would only become a cult classic later. Garofalo would make a break in her career with The Truth About Cats and Dogs in 1996, the year it ended, and Pete & Pete was one of her earliest roles. Hell, even Toby Huss' career took off.
Honestly I think the only one who kind of kept the same level of fame is probably Iggy Pop.
Except for Allison Fanelli who played Ellen, she quit acting and became a math teacher if I recall correctly, which is also cool as fuck.
I don't understand. My eyes were practically glued to Nickelodeon when this allegedly came out, and I've never heard of it. Hmm I was perhaps obsessed with MTV by that point

Played by Toby Huss, who's gone on to a quite successful career.

Riegel, that was one of his first roles. Dude's since built a laundry list, wow.
