Other Recurring Characters
Mr. Lancer (Ron Perlman) is one of the teachers and the vice-principal of Casper High. He is a strict teacher who often favors the popular kids. Though he tends to pick on Danny because of his average grades and his lackluster interest in his job, Lancer is a well-meaning man who tries to make sure all his students do their best. He has a humorous habit of shouting out book titles when he is surprised. He also constantly tries to be "cool" by saying some rather tired "hip phrases".
Dashiel "Dash" Baxter (S. Scott Bullock) is the most popular boy in Casper High School. A star football and basketball player, he often gets free leeway from the authorities at school due to his winning streak. However, Dash is an "idiot" who frequently picks on Danny.

Kwan (Dat Phan, later James Sie) is a football player and Dash's best friend. Though he is popular and bullies the lesser known students as much as Dash, Kwan is a bit more reluctant. He possibly only wanted popularity so that he can feel a sense of belonging.
Star (Grey DeLisle and Tara Strong) is another popular girl in Casper High. She serves as Paulina's "satellite", constantly orbiting around her. She is maliciously blunt. She and Valerie are good friends.

Tiffany Snow (Tara Strong) is a reporter who remains cheery despite the often depressing news she delivers.

Famous quotes containing the words recurring and/or characters:
“I am a writer and a feminist, and the two seem to be constantly in conflict.... ever since I became loosely involved with it, it has seemed to me one of the recurring ironies of this movement that there is no way to tell the truth about it without, in some small way, seeming to hurt it.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“The first glance at History convinces us that the actions of men proceed from their needs, their passions, their characters and talents; and impresses us with the belief that such needs, passions and interests are the sole spring of actions.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
