Then And Now: Meet The Cast of ‘Dazed and Confused’ in 2021

Wiley Wiggins as Mitch Kramer

Wiley Wiggins thrived as the innocent and naive Mitch Kramer, a freshman just along for the ride. Wiggins would grow up in director Linklater’s native town of Austin, where the film was shot, so we assume that would have something to do with the casting choice.

Wiggins would make his acting debut in Dazed and Confused before enjoying an enduring stint in Hollywood, appearing in 13 films until his most recent credit in 2018’s Social Animals. Nowadays, Wiggins is mostly tied to his work as a programmer for the video game competition that coincides with the Fantastic Fest Film Festival.
