'Can't Hardly Wait' 15th Anniversary: 12 Stars You Forgot Were In This 1998 Teen Classic

12 Stars Who You Forgot Were In 'Can't Hardly Wait'
|

On June 12, 1998, "Can't Hardly Wait" took teen movies down to Paradise City.

Directed by Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan, the high school comedy is certainly of its era -- not just because of its jokes (lolers here include one-liners about Brad Pitt's relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow and Pearl Jam), but its cast as well. To wit: Jennifer Love Hewitt, at the height of her "Party of Five" powers, is the unattainable attainable dream girl, while Jerry O'Connell and his erstwhile secret identity is the former high school star now in struggling in college (always remember to bring rubber flip-flops for the shower). O'Connell, of course, isn't the only famous face to make a quick appearance in "Can't Hardly Wait" alongside stars Love-Hewitt, Lauren Ambrose, Seth Green and Ethan Embry. To celebrate the film's 15th anniversary, check out 11 other actors who showed up in "Can't Hardly Wait."

1. Jason Segel

2. Jenna Elfman

3. Breckin Meyer

4. Donald Faison

5. Jerry O'Connell

8. Melissa Joan Hart
