What The Cast Of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide Looks Like Today

One of the least popular kids at James K. Polk Middle School was Coconut Head. The character's given name was never actually revealed, but everyone at school called him Coconut Head because of his bowl cut, which resembled a coconut. Coconut Head, played by Rob Pinkston, was friends with Ned, Cookie, and Moze, and he popped up in a majority of the series' episodes. Pinkston started his career as a child actor, appearing in several projects before joining "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide." Pinkston kept acting after the show, too, and he even dipped his toe into writing, producing, and directing — most notably for "This Just In," a TV series for which he garnered those three credits, as well as acting.

These days, Pinkston doesn't seem to be as focused on acting ("This Just In" is his last professional acting credit, and it ended in 2017). Instead, he is working regularly as a DJ. Pinkston still has love in his heart for the show that made him semi-famous, though. The actor who played Coconut Head visited Devon Werkheiser for an episode of his podcast. Pinkston said of the show, "It's like my favorite thing I've ever done." He added, "We got so lucky ... All those other Nick shows were having some pretty dark stuff happening not only behind the scenes but between the cast and crew ... We never got any of that."
