does anyone know what some of the cast did other than tv/movie credits. like what real world jobs did they get? who went off the deep end? or anything you know about them since. i read that tony o'dell is gay, anyone know the truth behind that? i also read that leslie bega was married to the drummer for inxs and heres a quote that will make every guy love her a little bit more. “I’ve spoiled men rotten with everything you can possibly fathom, fulfilled every possible desire and fantasy they can ever dream of.”and she likes to work in her garden naked!
oh yeah and i read that janice does casting for a production company now. any tidbits you guys know be sure to post!!!

Uh...Joher Coleman (the former Jory Husain) signed an online petition for Howard Dean's campaign (see the post called "Jory into politics?!"), but anyone can do that. As for working-wise, not-acting...I dunno.

I read that Dan Frischman (Arvid) wrote a play that was being performed out in L.A.

Yeah, Leslie got "wild" way after "HOTC." Funny because from all the older articles I've read, it said that she was quiet and shy. Recent articles say that she's still quiet, but I don't think she's shy anymore. I read an online article for "Maxim" (or one of those) on her, and it said for her audition for "The Sopranos"...well, since this is a clean message board (AND I WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY), all I can say is she taped herself when she was all alone. Let's leave it at that. If she's gonna be like that, my thing is this. I hope she's like that because she wants to be...not because she thinks it'll boost her career (like Tiffani Thiessen and Elizabeth Berkley from "Saved By the Bell" strippin' down and whatnot). Too many former teen actresses feel that getting "wild" is the way to get rid of that squeaky-clean child image. Proving one's self as a mature adult is the way to go about it.

Okay, non-acting...duh. I should know this.

Brian Robbins produces. (See "Smallville" and "Varsity Blues.")
Tannis Vallely is a casting agent.
Marcia Christie Blake (Lori) is a screenwriter.
Lara Piper (Viki) sculpts.
Rain Pryor...still acts (she does some projects with her father), but is also a drug rehab counselor since she got clean.

I remember reading that Arvid and Dennis worked together on a Nickoloden Channel on a tv show called "Kenen and Kel":)

Dan Schneider was Co-Executive Producer and sometimes staff writer on Kenan & Kel and Dan Frischman was Chris Potter on the show

Are they both very good friends in real life?

Ok I know this is supposed to be non tv/movie but I just found that Dan Frischman is going to be in Masked and Anonymous with Bob Dylan. I dont know how big of a part it is and the movies is only playing in certain places.

I saw Dan at a concert I attended in New York City about 2 months ago.... "Air Supply"....... he was in the front row, I did not meet him though.

Jory did voice overs for McDonald's commercials.

Yes, Dan and Dan are still very good friends in real life. Did anyone see the Bloopers and Practical Jokes episode, from 1990, where Dan F. pulled a prank on Dan S.? It was pretty funny.

Please say it isn't so that Tony O'dell (Alan) is gay.....where did you hear that. You know I did do a search on him a long time ago and I read that he attended some gay porn party or something of the sort. I was surprised about that, but I forgot about until now. I also heard the same thing about Michael Delorenzo (alex). It's like none of our business anyway, but I still love them both!

I searched the internet and Tony's name came up on a few gay websites. But who cares? He was still a great Alan Pinkard!!

yeah, i had read he was gay when i searched him online. you're right, its not a big deal, he still was a great actor on head of the class.
