He’s also part of TV series 'Murdoch Mysteries' and TV movie 'Charming Christmas'. He stuck with acting and has lent his voice to TV shows like 'Total Drama All-Stars' and 'Braceface'. Classy.ĭaniel DeSanto played Jason and he has since spruced up quite nicely. Last but certainly not least, I’m sure we all remember Jason, Gretchen Wieners’s on-again off-again boyfriend who asked Cady if she ‘wanted to have her muffin buttered’ on one of her first days of school. Here she is now and she’s actually, like really pretty. More recently, however, she's been involved with theatre. The actress Clare Preuss also starred in The Prince & Me but has shied away from the acting world for a number of years. He did pursue acting for a time (he even auditioned for the lead role of Life of Pi but lost out to Suraj Sharma) but now focusses on his art, which encompasses chalk, pen and paper, and calligraphy.įans of Mean Girls should also remember Caroline Krafft, the token female mathlete from Marymount Prep who was up against Cady Heron in the State Championship sudden-death round (the limit does not exist!). The actor who played him, Rajiv Surendra, has since gone on to become a talented artist and calligrapher. He sang the second most inappropriate song at the Christmas concert (hard to top that rendition of Jingle Bell Rock) and infamously told Cady ‘Don't let the haters stop you from doing your thang.’ Mathlete and aspiring rapper Kevin G was pretty great. While everyone knows the leading cast members of 'Mean Girls' like Lindsay Lohan, Tina Fey, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Amy Poehler all went on to have lucrative careers (here’s a lowdown of where they are now), many members of its supporting cast have disintegrated into obscurity. This is a particularly special year for the teen comedy as it turns 15 years old.

She wins the competition for her team and wears her jacket proudly to the Spring Fling.Ĭady’s experience as a mathlete might not be what Mean Girls is most famous for (which for some reason is this):īut it has shown to girls over the past ten years (yes, you’re that old), that girls (no matter how pretty they are) can do STEM too. They are taught that science and math are boy subjects and can be discouraged from pursuing STEM.Īfter failing a Calculus test, Cady Heron has to earn extra credit by becoming a mathlete.
While this exact scenario may not happen in real life, it’s true that many girls start showing less interest in STEM during high school. Sometimes a movie comes along, so amazing, so funny, that it gets its own day.Ĭady Heron comes into a new high school ahead of her grade in math, and while she’s originally proud of this, she starts pretending to be bad at calculus so that her crush, Aaron Samuels, will tutor her. The majority of nerdy geeks we see on screen are white men, but sometimes there are exceptions. Does the scientist look something like this? This lack of representation extends to pop culture and our culture’s image of who a scientist is. You may have heard that while women make up half of the national workforce, they only make up 25% of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) workforce.
