Jun 6 2007 - 3:28pm Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a
Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!
"My So-Called Life" may have enjoyed just a short life span on ABC, but during that time I felt like someone finally understood me and that someone was Angela Chase.

I LERV My So-Called Life. I was REAL sad when it got canceled. Such a great cast.
1That was the best show ever!
2Angela Chase --> Eva Amurri
3Rickie --> Mark Indelicato
Rayanne Graff --> JoJo
Brian Krakow --> Jonathan Lipnicki
Jordan Catalano --> Zac Efron
Sharon Cherski --> Jordin Sparks
Angela Chase----> Camilla Belle
4Rickie----->Mark Indelicato
Rayanne Graff----->Amber Tamblyn
Brian Krakow---->Paul Dano
Jordan Catalano----> Milo Ventimiglia
Sharon Cherski- Emma Roberts
Angela Chase - Alexa Vega
5Rickie - Luis Armand Garcia (George Lopex Show)
Rayanne Graff - Bijou Phillips
Brian Krakow - John Heder
Jordan Catalano - Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights)
Sharon Cherski - Mandy Moore
sorry....George Lopez Show not Lopex
6Angela Chase - Kate Mara
7Rickie - Chris Brown
Rayanne Graff - Blake Lively
Brian Krakow - Justin Long
Jordan Catalano - Channing Tatum
Sharon Cherski - Elisha Cuthbert
I refuse. It was perfect!
8Yeah, this is just wrong to recast. I just can't. It was perfection.
9Angela Chase - Natalie Portman
10Rickie - Diego Luna
Rayanne Graff - Lindsay Lohan
Brian Krakow - Jon Heder
Jordan Catalano - Hayden Christensen
Sharon Cherski - Mandy Moore
I tried. I just can't! Besides, most of the original cast were pretty young. I know Claire Danes was only 15. I'm not really current with young actors...
11Such a classic. I miss Jordan Catalano.
12This will be hard.
I can't even conceive different actors playing those roles!
13I miss the show so much. I watched the re-runs over and over again at 5 am on the N, but it's been removed from their programming. Anyone know if it airs anywhere else? I will always love Jordan Catalano though! So sexy...
Angela Chase --Zooey Deschanel Rickie --Cillian Murphy Rayanne Graff --Chloe Sevigny Brian Krakow --Joseph Gordon-Levitt Jordan Catalano --James Franco Sharon Cherski --Michelle Trachtenberg
14sorry for the spacing on that. Let's try this again:
Angela Chase - Zooey Deschanel
Rickie - Cillian Murphy
Rayanne Graff - Chloe Sevigny
Brian Krakow - Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Jordan Catalano - James Franco
Sharon Cherski - Michelle Tractenberg
Tough to recast. This show will always have a special place in my heart. Filmed at my high school as was Party of Five. Ah, memories!
15All the people suggested are almost 30 years old!! There supposed to be 15-16! That always disturbed me... If there ever going to make a remake (which I hope they don't, cuz the original is amazing), they should get new faces.
16I agree, can't be recast. It was a perfect,short little gem.
17Angela- Hannah Lochner (since Clare was basically an unknown, I picked this girl who was in the remake of dawn of the dead, she looks like Clare to me, wide eyed moppet)
Rickie- Michael Cera (george Michael from Arrested development)
Rayanne- Mae Whitman (she was the little girl in hope floats, but all grown up now!)
Brian- Erik Per Sullivan (dewey on Malcolm in the middle, geeky but lovable)
Jordan- Thomas Dekker (zach from heroes)
Sharon- Ashley Tisdale (high school musical)
I tried to be age appropriate, since these are high schoolers…..
18Angela Chase (Anna Paquin)
19Rickie (Mark Indelicato)
Rayanne Graff (Chyler Leigh)
Brian Krakow (Shia LeBouf)
Jordan Catalano (Ashton Kutcher - you need a guy with hair!)
Sharon Cherski (Hilary Duff)
Angela Chase -Emma Roberts
20Rickie - Justin Chattwin
Rayanne Graff -Hayden P (from Heroes)
Brian Krakow- Shia LeBouef
Jordan Catalano - Zac Efrom (from High School Music)
Sharon Cherski- Britney Snow
Angela Chase - Michelle Trachtenberg
21Rickie - Robin de Jesus (from Camp)
Rayanne Graff - Evan Rachel Wood
Brian Krakow - Michael Cera
Jordan Catalano - Justin Chatwin
Sharon Cherski - Alexis Bledel
Oooh, this is difficult because the original actors are still vaguely young themselves, plus it's hard to find someone as beautiful as Jared was. Ummm...
22Angela Chase - Jena Malone
Rickie Vasquez - Josh Peck (Drake & Josh)
Rayanne Graff - Amber Tamblyn
Brian Krakow - Joseph Gordon Levitt
Jordan Catalano - Penn Bagley (John Tucker Must Die)
Sharon Cherski - Arielle Kebbel
The revival of my so called life could use some "gender-bendering" the main character,
23Justin Berfield - taking the part of Angelo Chase
Frankie Muniz - Richie
Rumer Willis - Rayanne Graff
Rory Culkin - Brian (rather BRAIN) Krakow
Hayden Panettiere- Jordan Catalano
Keiko Agena - Sharon Cherski
Up for it!!??
Though hard, recasting is fun just for kicks.
Angela Chase - Danielle Panabaker (Sky High)
Rickie - Victor Rasuk (I'm Reed Fish)
Rayanne Graff - Amber Tamblyn (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants)
Brian Krakow - Adam Lamberg (Lizzie McGuire)
Jordan Catalano - Chace Crawford (The Covenant/Gossip Girl-new show, promo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdeoMULDkIo)
