The Real Reason Why Hollywood Won't Cast Breckin Meyer Anymore

May 2024 · 1 minute read

Much like Orange Julius, Weezer, and the Delia*s catalog, Breckin Meyer is very much a '90s brand. And while he did continue to pop up onscreen after the turn of the twenty-first century, his memorable turns in movies like Clueless, Can't Hardly Wait, and The Craft made him forever synonymous with a certain archetype of vintage teen-hood — a legacy that's been tough to shake. Not only are these now-decades-old films still the ones he's best known for, but Meyer's persona and aesthetic was so utterly at home in the '90s that he's practically an icon of the era... which is great news if anyone ever wants to put together a reunion tour of these now-cult classics, but not so helpful when it comes to landing roles in contemporary Hollywood.
