The 10 Things I Hate About You television series, a beloved adaptation of the classic 1999 movie and Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, may have only lasted one season on ABC Family (now Freeform), but its cast has gone on to achieve incredible, and in some cases, surprising levels of stardom. The show, which premiered in 2009, introduced a fresh ensemble of young actors who would later become household names in major franchises, from Emmy-winning HBO dramas to the iconic world of Star Trek. As of late 2024 and early 2025, the careers of these former Padua High students are more active and successful than ever, making this short-lived sitcom a fascinating launchpad for some of the biggest names in modern television. This deep dive focuses exclusively on the main cast of the TV show, providing the latest updates and tracing their journey from the halls of Padua High School to their current, headline-making projects.

Meet the Stratford Sisters and Their Suitors: The Core Cast Biography

The 10 Things I Hate About You TV series reimagined the core characters for a new generation, focusing on the dynamic between the fiercely independent Katerina "Kat" Stratford and her social-climbing younger sister, Bianca Stratford.
  • Lindsey Shaw (Katerina "Kat" Stratford): Born May 10, 1989, in Lincoln, Nebraska. Shaw was already known for her role as Jennifer "Moze" Mosely on the Nickelodeon series Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide before landing the lead role of the rebellious, feminist Kat.
  • Meaghan Martin (Bianca Stratford): Born February 17, 1992, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Martin gained fame as the villain Tess Tyler in the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock and its sequel, positioning her perfectly as the popular, image-conscious Bianca.
  • Ethan Peck (Patrick Verona): Born March 2, 1986, in Los Angeles, California. The grandson of legendary actor Gregory Peck, Ethan took on the role of the mysterious, brooding "bad boy" Patrick, originally played by Heath Ledger in the film.
  • Nicholas Braun (Cameron James): Born May 1, 1988, in Long Island, New York. Braun played the sweet, unassuming Cameron, who is infatuated with Bianca. This role was a key early step in his career before his massive breakthrough.
  • Dana Davis (Chastity Church): Born October 4, 1978, in Davenport, Iowa. Davis played Bianca's best friend and rival, Chastity, the popular girl at Padua High.
  • Kyle Kaplan (Michael Bernstein): Born July 16, 1990, in Los Angeles, California. Kaplan played Michael, Cameron's quirky and loyal best friend.
  • Larry Miller (Walter Stratford): Born October 15, 1953, in Valley Stream, New York. Miller was the only actor to reprise his role from the 1999 film, playing the overprotective father, Walter Stratford, a constant source of comedic tension.

The Unexpected Ascent: Nicholas Braun's Journey to 'Succession' Stardom

Perhaps the most astonishing career trajectory from the 10 Things I Hate About You TV cast belongs to Nicholas Braun. After playing the earnest and slightly awkward Cameron James, Braun’s career steadily climbed before exploding with his role as Cousin Greg in the critically acclaimed HBO series, *Succession*. Braun’s portrayal of Gregory "Cousin Greg" Hirsch, the gangly, morally compromised, yet oddly endearing outsider in the Roy family's media empire, earned him three consecutive Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. His massive success in *Succession* has completely redefined his public image, transforming him from a teen comedy actor into one of the most recognizable faces in prestige television. His fame continues to generate headlines well into 2024 and 2025. In late 2024, Braun was in the news regarding a misdemeanor DUI charge in New Hampshire, which was later dropped, keeping him in the public eye even after *Succession*'s finale. This level of media scrutiny is a testament to his current A-list status, a far cry from the halls of Padua High. His next major project is highly anticipated, solidifying his position as the biggest breakout star of the entire 10 Things I Hate About You TV series cast.

From Bad Boy to Spock: Ethan Peck's Star Trek Legacy

The second major success story is Ethan Peck, who inherited the role of Patrick Verona. While Peck had a steady career after the show, including roles in films like *In Time* (2011) and the TV series *Madam Secretary*, his career reached warp speed when he joined the Star Trek universe. Peck was cast as the iconic Vulcan science officer Spock, a role previously held by Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto. He first appeared as Spock in *Star Trek: Discovery* and then took on a lead role in the prequel series, *Star Trek: Strange New Worlds*. This role is a monumental achievement, placing him at the center of one of the most enduring and beloved science fiction franchises in history. His work as Spock has been universally praised for bringing a fresh yet respectful depth to the character, solidifying his status as a major player in the science fiction genre. Looking ahead to 2025, Peck is also slated to appear in the Western thriller film *The Unholy Trinity*, demonstrating his continued versatility beyond the Starfleet uniform. The contrast between the mysterious high schooler Patrick and the logical, beloved Mr. Spock is one of the most compelling post-show transformations.

What Happened to the Stratford Sisters and the Rest of the Cast?

While Nicholas Braun and Ethan Peck have achieved global fame, the rest of the main cast has maintained active, diverse, and respectable careers, often returning to their roots in television and voice acting.

Lindsey Shaw (Kat Stratford)

The original Kat Stratford, Lindsey Shaw, has continued a consistent career in television. Following *10 Things I Hate About You*, she secured a recurring role that became a fan favorite: Paige McCullers on the hit mystery series *Pretty Little Liars*. Her work on Pretty Little Liars, which ran from 2011 to 2017, cemented her place in the young adult television landscape. Shaw has also appeared in other TV movies and independent projects, maintaining a strong connection with her fanbase through social media and platforms like Cameo.

Meaghan Martin (Bianca Stratford)

Meaghan Martin has also enjoyed a varied career across film, television, and theatre. Known for her work in the *Camp Rock* franchise, Martin has consistently taken on roles that showcase her range. She has notably ventured into video game voice acting, lending her voice to characters in popular titles like the horror game *Until Dawn*. Martin has also focused on independent film projects, demonstrating a commitment to diverse storytelling outside of major studio productions. Her career reflects a dedicated, multi-faceted approach to acting, spanning from Disney to psychological thrillers.

Dana Davis, Kyle Kaplan, and Larry Miller

  • Dana Davis (Chastity Church): Davis has a long list of TV credits both before and after the ABC Family sitcom. She is a prolific voice actress, known for her role as the voice of the superhero Karen Beecher / Bumblebee in the animated series *Justice League Action*. Her career remains robust in the world of animation and television guest roles.
  • Kyle Kaplan (Michael Bernstein): Kaplan has largely stepped back from the spotlight in recent years. After his role as the nerdy, loyal Michael, he has focused more on behind-the-scenes work, including production and writing, rather than on-camera acting.
  • Larry Miller (Walter Stratford): The veteran comedian and actor, Larry Miller, who played the iconic overprotective dad in both the movie and the series, continues to work in comedy and acting. He is a well-known stand-up comedian and podcast host, frequently appearing in films and TV shows, cementing his legacy as a character actor with a truly unique comedic voice.
The *10 Things I Hate About You* TV show, though short-lived, proved to be a powerful springboard. Its cast members have not only found success but have done so in completely different and unexpected corners of the entertainment industry, from the prestige drama of *Succession* to the vast universe of *Star Trek*, ensuring the legacy of Padua High lives on in Hollywood's biggest hits.
