'Dazed and Confused': Where is the Cast Now?

Dazed and Confused was released in 1993. It's the perfect coming-of-age comedy film written and directed by Richard Linklater that has remained a cult classic even decades after its original release. The Dazed and Confused cast is full of actors who would become big stars, including big names like Ben Affleck, Cole Hauser, and Matthew McConaughey. The movie follows different Austin, Texas, high school students during their last day of school in 1976 as next year's group of seniors are preparing for the annual hazing of incoming freshmen. It's funny, relatable, and notoriously considered one of the most accurate portrayals of high school kids actually represented on film.

McConaughey notably landed his role by accident after running into the casting director at an Austin bar, and as we know, went on to become a Texas icon and major Hollywood leading man. He even made a few lifelong friendships in the process, especially with Yellowstone star Cole Hauser and Rory Cochrane. The actor even notably acted as a local tour guide for all of the, at the time, unknown actors Linklater cast in his high school saga. Many of the Dazed and Confused filming locations around Austin are still around to visit if you'd like to take a trip back to 1993 and walk in their shoes.
