10 Things I Hate About You cast: where are they now?

Julia Stiles (Kat Stratford)

Julia Stiles killed it as the abrasive Katarina "Kat" Stratford in 10 Things I Hate About You, revealing that behind her fury beat a big heart that was scared of being broken. Stiles starred in two more Shakespeare-themed films following 10 Things I Hate About You: O (an adaptation of Othello) and Hamlet. She was also a staple in the Jason Bourne film franchise and had a pivotal supporting role in Hustlers. On TV she's appeared in shows like Dexter and The Mindy Project.

Heath Ledger (Patrick Verona)

Heath Ledger went on to earn the most critical acclaim of his 10 Things I Hate About You alumni, starring in The Patriot, Knight's Tale and Lords of Dogtown. Ledger, who shared daughter Matilda with ex Michelle Williams, earned an Oscar nomination for Brokeback Mountain.

Tragically, Ledger passed away in 2008. He won a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his iconic turn as The Joker in The Dark Knight.

David Krumholtz (Michael Eckman)

David Krumholtz has kept himself quite busy since 10 Things I Hate About You. In addition to a slew of guest parts, he's also had steady roles in The Lyon's Den, Numb3rs, The Playboy Club, The Newsroom, Partners, Men at Work, Mom, Living Biblically, The Good Wife and The Deuce. He was also part of the ensemble cast for Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.

Larisa Oleynik (Bianca Stratford)

Before 10 Things I Hate About You, we knew this blonde beauty as Alex Mack. Immediately after 10 Things I Hate About You, Larisa Oleynik joined her onscreen love interest Joseph Gordon-Levitt when she got a recurring role on 3rd Rock From the Sun. Her acting was largely relegated to guest roles and voiceover work until 2010, when she nabbed recurring roles in Mad Men, Hawaii Five-O and Pretty Little Liars. Her most recent projects include TV series Erin & Aaron as well as the film We Broke Up.

Now a mom of two, in 2015, she told BuzzFeed News that she was working toward a degree in business. She still acts, but with a caveat: The role has to pay more than the $15 per hour she'll need for her babysitter.

Andrew Keegan (Joey Donner)

Heartthrob Andrew Keegan played jock and bully Joey Donner in 10 Things I Hate About You, often desperately trying to impress Bianca into hooking up with him—just like he's previously done with her shrewish older sister.

Kyle Cease (Bogey Lowenstein)

Kyle Cease has focused more on standup comedy than acting since 10 Things I Hate About You, with two Comedy Central specials. He made appearances in Not Another Teen Movie and reality series Who Wants To Date A Comedian?

But he actually got serious, too. He became a "transformational speaker" hosting his Evolving Out Loud events and a New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author for his book The Illusion of Money.

Gabrielle Union (Chastity)

After making her film debut in 10 Thing I Hate About You, absurdly ageless stunner Gabrielle Union went on to star in another teen classic, Bring It On, as well as TV series including City Of Angels, Night Stalker, Being Mary Jane and L.A.'s Finest, plus movies like Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, Think Like A Man, Think Like A Man Too, Birth Of A Nation and Almost Christmas.

She's currently starring in Palm Royale on Apple TV+.

Daryl Mitchell (Mr. Morgan)

Mitchell played Kat's tell-it-like-it-is English teacher, Mr. Morgan ("I know how difficult it must be for you to overcome all those years of upper middle-class suburban oppression"). Two years after the movie released, in November 2001, the actor was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident. He's continued to have a robust acting career, most notably a seven-season run on NCIS: New Orleans and a four-season arc on Fear the Walking Dead.
