What The Cast Of 10 Things I Hate About You Looks Like Today

It takes a strong actor to make his mark in a teen movie like 10 Things I Hate About You. Adults are usually relegated to the angry parent roles, but in Walter Stratford, so memorably played by veteran actor Larry Miller, a well of hilarious over-reactions was discovered. Kat and Bianca's father has some of the funniest moments in the movie, from thinking seven reps on an ab machine is "good" to espousing the truth about a pregnant teen who would've had more thoughtful things to say if she wasn't "so doped up."

Miller later starred on the short-lived (and best left forgotten) TV spin-off the same name, but that didn't stop him popping up elsewhere including in Shane Black's cult favourite Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, as stylist extraordinaire Paolo in The Princess Diaries 1 and 2, meddling Tommy in 8 Simple Rules, and a dopey CIA agent in Get Smart. It's unsurprising he's found voice-over work too, providing his pipes for Bee Movie and The Penguins Of Madagascar series. Lately, though, he's heading back to school as the Dean in movie Rock Steady Row (in post at the time of writing) and the principal in TV mini-series High School Cupid, a Cupid Inc. Story. Fitting, considering how hard he was on his girls in 10 Things. Hell is just a sauna, after all.
