Throughout the series, he also had a secret, ill-fated crush on his best friend Sam's older sister, Lindsay. Between his unusually tall stature, massive spectacles, and bizarre commentary, Bill was the geekiest of his friends. You may have also recognized him in the latest Marvel "Spider-Man" movies, where he plays a teacher. He hasn't acted in many major projects since. Melnick's most recent role was voicing the character Ruth Cochamet on "Family Guy" from to Daniel was never afraid to take risks or get into trouble.
As long as he had his on-again, off-again girlfriend Kim by his side and his friends, he was content to do anything. Franco also became well known for frequently acting alongside his former "Freaks and Geeks" co-star Seth Rogen. Currently, Franco is being sued by two former students of his now-defunct acting school.
They accuse Franco and his business partners of sexually exploiting female students, according to a lawsuit seen by the New York Times. And, in , five women accused Franco of engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior.
Per the Los Angeles Times, Franco's attorney has disputed all of the women's allegations. Kim never held back her opinions, which made her come off as intimidating to Lindsay and the geeks. She also couldn't get enough of her "stud" of a boyfriend, Daniel. Rosso never hesitated to name-drop a rock band he liked in front of the freaks or show off his guitar skills.
Ken was known for his abrasive one-liners, admiration for "tuba girl" Amy, and fervent hatred of all disco music. After the show ended, Rogen's comedy-acting career skyrocketed as he appeared in many of Judd Apatow's most iconic films, including "Anchorman," "Knocked Up," and "Funny People.
Lately, Rogen keeps busy as the executive producer of Amazon's satirical superhero show, "The Boys. Judd was younger than everyone else—he was really considered to be just a kid. At the same time, he was booking his own stand-up night at some club, working for Comic Relief.
Everybody should be nice to him because he could be running the town someday. That just never happens. Everything had kind of hit the rocks; I was really at my lowest point. I kicked the thing out really fast—I think it had just been gestating for so long in my brain—cleaned it up and gave it to my wife, and she told me to send it to Judd. He called about 12 hours after I sent him the script. It was important to me to show that side.
Get your friends, have your support group. And learn to be able to laugh at it. And all the rules go out the window. I got tired of every teenager being portrayed as horny and completely cool with sex, because that was not my experience.
You could split them into kids who are constantly trying to get older and kids that are desperately trying to hold on to their immaturity. I asked him to write another few episodes to explore the world, and he banged out two more.
We took a lot of moments from them and put them into the pilot. Jake Kasdan, 24, is hired to direct the pilot; he will stick around for the run of the series, directing nearly a third of the episodes and helping edit the rest. Thank God it turned out to be good. So I said we should just try to cast unique characters and re-write the pilot to their personalities.
It had always been about trying to fit the person to read the lines correctly. Judd and Paul created a carnival atmosphere.
Linda Cardellini, then 23, is cast in the lead as year-old Lindsay Weir. It was a more interesting approach than all the other teenagers I was reading, who just hated their parents. But Linda was the exact person I had in my head. And I think that helped me ultimately, because it let me put my guard down.
I was just focused on not throwing up. All we have to do is act! James Franco, 20, is cast as freak Daniel Desario, a slightly goofy bad boy. We should grab him immediately. He was always the one that had a Camus novel, heavily dog-eared, and his car was so full of junk that it looked like he lived out of it. I saw all the kids at summer school, and there was this guy the teacher pointed out to me, this kind of rough-around-the-edges-looking kid.
Judd connected to him immediately and deeply. Jason really captured that desperation I felt when I was younger. Seth Rogen, 16, who will play acerbic freak Ken Miller, is found on a casting trip to Vancouver. The smart, sweet, grounded person we now know him to be seemed impossible back then.
He seemed like a mad, troublemaking Canadian lunatic who was quiet and angry and might kill you. I was incredibly angry and repressed, and I think they saw me as this kind of weird, sarcastic guy and started writing towards that. But then they got to know me and saw me as a nice guy, and that revealed itself as the show progressed. There were some kids that Judd thought were immensely special and was going to beat that into them until they believed it.
Gangly, shuffling, bespectacled, he is the most outwardly strange and inwardly deep of the central geeks. He could make you cry laughing by doing almost nothing. Then it turned out he could do anything. The actor tells EW the one-season show — which is finally streaming on Hulu — was "one of the best experiences" of his life. It's been more than two decades since Freaks and Geeks aired its only season, and the show's cult classic status has grown exponentially in that time.
Created by Paul Feig and executive produced by Judd Apatow , NBC's cancellation of the high school dramedy set in the early '80s is one of the biggest mistakes in the history of TV fight us on this, we dare you.
But another major mistake with this show has thankfully been remedied: Freaks and Geeks is now available to stream on Hulu with its original soundtrack one of the show's greatest assets intact. Now that the series is finally available to stream, it's getting a new, younger influx of viewers for the first time as well. But Freaks and Geeks alum Jason Segel isn't sure that new, younger viewers will appreciate the iconic series in the same way as its original, pre-streaming fanbase.
I don't know what the experience would be like to watch something from 20 years ago. Where we left him: About to watch his parents go through a divorce.
Where he would have gone: Would have been in a swing choir. Where we left him: Being angry with Nick for taking up disco, and getting kicked out of the disco contest. I can completely see us loading him up with a lot of weird shit. I was sad we never got to show his parents, and God only knows whom we would have had him dating.
