In many ways, John Cusack hasn't ever fully escaped the role of Lloyd Dobbler, becoming something of a titan to oddballs everywhere. His left-of-center quirkiness was endearing in Say Anything, and propelled him through the '80s teen scene and into the '90s with classic comedies like Grosse Point Blank and HighFidelity, as well as popular movies li...
Ione Skye was paired up with several '80s hunks, includingKeanu Reeves in River's Edge prior to being cast as the leading lady in Cameron Crowe's Say Anything. She went into the '90s snagging parts in Wayne's World and One Night Stand. Skye is as multi-talented as her over-achieving character Diane, juggling appearances on Arrested Development and ...
As Mr. Court, the father of Diane, John Mahoney cut an intimidating figure. But because he was played by Mahoney, he radiated human decency, which was paramount given his character development in Say Anything. He was prominently featured throughout the '80s and '90s in Suspect, Reality Bites, and The American President, as well as working with the ...
As Lloyd Dobbler's best friend in Say Anything, Lili Taylor didn't know much about true love, only unrequited love. So while she may not have had any good advice for him, her folk-singer-turned-bard for Lloyd's girl troubles role left an impression. She also made waves in such '80s indie film darlings as Mystic Pizza and I Shot Andy Warhol. Beyond ...
When Lloyd can't get any girl advice from his best friend, he has to rely on his sister, who was played by John Cusack's real sister Joan Cusack.

She's appeared in a whopping total of 10 films with her brother, in...
Jeremy Piven appears in Say Anything as one of Lloyd Dobbler's erstwhile friends, and the camaraderie between them is so believable because the pair have been friends since high school. Cusack (along with his sister Joan) graduated from the Piven Theater Workshop, an acting company founded by Piven's parents. RELATED: 10 Actors Who Were Born to Pla...
Bebe Neuwrith's part may not have been a large one in Say Anything, but she portrayed one of the only other adults to stand out in the film among the insightful teens besides John Mahoney. It was one of the dancer's earliest film roles, though she'd already been very active on television. From 1985 until the series ended, she appeared as Dr. Lilith...
Though Eric Stoltz didn't play a big part in Say Anything, the film marked the fulfillment of a promise made to the actor by director Cameron Crowe. They'd become friends during Stoltz's first film, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which Crowe also wrote, and he promised Stoltz a part in all his future films.

While many young actors may not have relished their big screen debut in the role of the bad ex-boyfriend, Loren Dean used it as a jumping off point in his film career. He'd go on to star opposite such big hitters as Nicole Kidman, Bruce Willis, and Dustin Hoffman in Billy Bathgate just two years later. In Starstruck, he played a cocaine-addicted ro...
