Linda Cardellini plays Lindsay Weir, the central protagonist of the Freaks and Geekscast. Lindsay is introduced as a precocious, hard-working student before falling in with the “freaks” in an attempt to redefine herself after her grandmother's death. Gradually, Lindsay became less focused on her studies and more interested in rebellion. She was ini...
John Francis Daley plays Lindsay’s younger brother, Sam Weir in the Freaks and Geekscast. A high school freshman, Sam is shorter than a lot of other kids his age, which makes him shy and introverted. He’s not very popular at school, but he’s best of friends with his fellow “geeks.” Daley later returned to television to play FBI criminal profiler Dr...
Nick Andopolis, the kindest and most sensitive of the freaks in the Freaks and Geekscast, is played by Jason Segel. Nick is a former basketball player who followed his passion for music after getting kicked off the team for marijuana possession. He and Lindsay dated, but she found him to be too clingy and overbearing. Segel went on to star in How I...

Playing the unintelligent Daniel Desario on Freaks & Geeksis James Franco. He is the leader of the freaks who hides the fact that he’s 18 years old and has been held back two grades at school. Daniel is cool and charismatic, but he’s also known for being selfish and unreliable. Franco graduated from TV actor to movie star with his role as Peter Par...
Seth Rogen plays Ken Miller, the most sardonic of the freaks in the Freaks and Geeks cast. Ken is stubborn and abrasive but has a sensitive side underneath. This is at odds with the chill, laidback on-screen persona that would go on to define Rogen’s movie career. Rogen reunited with Apatow to appear in such hit comedies as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, ...
Martin Starr plays the geekiest of the geeks in the Freaks and Geekscast, Bill Haverchuck. Whereas Sam is shorter than most of the other kids, Bill is taller than everyone. Bill is hilarious in a dry and understated way but doesn’t have the confidence to take advantage of it. Starr has brought that deadpan hilarity to his later roles as Roman DeBee...
Samm Levine plays Neal Schweiber in the Freaks and Geekscast, who is by far the most confident and outgoing of the geeks. Neal is a self-proclaimed ladies’ man and comedic genius with a futile crush on Lindsay. He’s in denial about the fact that he’s just as geeky as Sam and Bill and considers himself to be the cool one. Levine is known for playing...
