'Napoleon Dynamite': Where are they now?

Catch up with the cast that's doing whatever they feel like doing

It seems like a lifetime has passed since we first saw "Napoleon Dynamite." Blame that on those misleadingly dated wardrobes, because it's actually barely been five years.

In that time though, the cast and creators have gone on to a variety of projects, and you may not even be recognizing them without their unflattering eyewear, boondoggle key chains and homemade campaign t-shirts.

With “Napoleon” writer/director Jared Hess's “Gentlemen Broncos” set to open in limited release Oct. 30, it seems like a good time to take a survey of what everyone's been up to since “Dynamite” and what's next on their respective plates.
