It’s honestly crazy how many of them went on to even bigger careers somehow after Pete & Pete. Chris Elliott’s Get A Life had just ended the same year Pete & Pete started but would only become a cult classic later. Garofalo would make a break in her career with The Truth About Cats and Dogs in 1996, the year it ended, and Pete & Pete was one of her earliest roles. Hell, even Toby Huss’ career took off.
Honestly I think the only one who kind of kept the same level of fame is probably Iggy Pop.
Except for Allison Fanelli who played Ellen, she quit acting and became a math teacher if I recall correctly, which is also cool as fuck.
Riegel, that was one of his first roles. Dude’s since built a laundry list, wow.
