Mean Girls

Trivia: Tina Fey, the woman who plays Ms. Norbury, was also the screenplay writer for the movie.

Trivia: Tim Meadows, who plays Mr. Duvall, broke his wrist a week before filming started and had to wear a cast. They explained this away in the movie by saying that Mr. Duvall had carpal tunnel syndrome.

Trivia: An interesting fact that I was able to confirm was purposeful by watching the commentary on the DVD- Tren Pak, the popular Asian girl who makes out with Coach Carr, is the on-screen sister of T. Pak, an Asian nerd on the Mathletes (same Asian nerd who says Regina's hair is insured for $10,000.).

Trivia: Lindsay Lohan was originally cast as Regina George. She thought the role would be different than her previous "damaged teenager" characters. However, according to the casting director, Paramount wanted a "bankable" actress for the starring role. Lohan was switched with Rachel McAdams, who had been considered for the role of Cady.

Trivia: A well-known actor, whose name has not been revealed by the director, was first chosen to play Aaron Samuels. He was fired after he came to the table reading with a messy, unshaven appearance, mumbled a lot, and refused to take his hat off. The actor is sometimes rumoured to be James Franco, but Daniel Franzese (who played Damien) has denied this.
