The Cast of 'Bring It On:' Then Vs. Now
Here's where your favorite Clovers and Toros are, 20 years after the cheerleading classic's debut.


Before Netflix's Cheer, there was Bring It On. The 2000 film sparked a flurry of remakes and has long been revered as a seminal classic in the teen flick genre. In honor of the film's 20th anniversary, we tracked down our favorite members of the Toros and Clovers to see what they're up to in 2020. Roll call!


Now: Kirsten Dunst
Dunst hasn't strayed far from the screen since she played Torrance. The actress has since appeared in box office hits, including the Spider-Man trilogy, Marie Antoinette, and Hidden Figures, and had a leading role on the hit TV series, Fargo. In 2017, she got engaged to her Fargo costar, Jesse Plemons, and a year later they welcomed their first child together.

Then: Gabrielle Union
Gabrielle Union first made a name for herself in the late '90s on shows like Sister, Sister, 7th Heaven, and Saved by the Bell. By the time she appeared in Bring It On as Isis, the captain of the Clovers squad, she had already been a teen movie regular, appearing in She's All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Love & Basketball.

Now: Gabrielle Union
Union has continued to act in shows like Being Mary Jane, as well as movies like Bad Boys II. Most recently, she was a judge on America's Got Talent, but left in 2019 after filing a lawsuit against executive producer and fellow judge, Simon Cowell, for alleged discriminatory actions. The actress married professional basketball player Dwyane Wade in 2014, and they welcomed their first child, Kaavia James, in 2018.


Now: Eliza Dushku
Post-Bring It On, Dushku continued to appear in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and joined the spinoff show, Angel. Since then, she's been in shows like Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. and Dollhouse. Most recently, she had a recurring role on the CBS show Bull—during which she reportedly faced misconduct on set. (The network later settled with her for $9.5 million.) She's been married to businessman Peter Palandjian since 2018, and they have one child together.




Now: Clare Kramer
After her Bring It On success, Kramer followed her co-star Eliza Dushku to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and later appeared in the film, The Rules of Attraction. While she's continued to act, most recently she's begun to work as a producer for television. She currently hosts the podcast Take Five With Clare Kramer.



Then: Shamari Fears
Shamari Fears played Lava in Bring It On, but in real life she was a member of the singing group Blaque, along with two other actresses who played East Compton Clovers squad members. "They reached out to us and they wanted Blaque to do it," Fears previously told Bravo about the casting process. "Which was a blessing, we didn't have to audition, we went away to cheerleading camp for two weeks, we learned how to do the stunts and go up in the air."









Now: Lindsay Sloane
After the cheerleading film, Sloane appeared in the TV show Grosse Point. She continues to appear in TV and film in supporting roles on projects like, Over Her Dead Body, She's Out of My League, The Other Guys, and Horrible Bosses. In 2015, she was cast in the CBS show The Odd Couple.


Now: Nathan West
West went on to have a successful career throughout the aughts. He landed a reoccurring role on 7th Heaven and was cast in the film Miracle. These days, the actor keeps a low profile; his last acting credit was for the 2010 film, Alleged. One thing that remains the same for West? He's now married to actress Chyler Leigh. The couple tied the knot in 2002.


2012: Natina Reed
Reed passed away in 2012 after she was hit by a car near her home in Georgia. The former lead singer of Blaque had been engaged to rapper Kurupt, although they were not together at the time of her death. They had a son together in 2002.




Now: Huntley Ritter
Although Ritter appeared in a number of films after Bring It On—including The Wedding Planner, We Are Marshall, and September Dawn—Ritter has since stepped back from acting. His most recent acting credit was the 2007 film, The Third Down. According to Forbes, Ritter is now the founder and CEO of tech start-up, USeek.
