“Road Trip” is a classic comedy film that was released in 2000 and remains a beloved favorite among fans of the genre. The movie follows four college friends who embark on an epic road trip from New York to Austin, Texas, in order to retrieve a video tape mistakenly sent to one of their girlfriend’s homes. But who are the actors behind this hilarious adventure? In this article, we will explore each member of the main cast and their roles.
First up is Josh Parker played by Breckin Meyer. Josh is our protagonist, a pre-law student at Ithaca College who kicks off the plot of “Road Trip.” He accidentally sends a video tape of him having sex with another girl instead of his girlfriend Tiffany (played by Rachel Blanchard). When he realizes his mistake, he convinces his three best friends to join him as they try and intercept the package before it reaches its destination. Breckin Meyer brings sincere emotional honesty to Josh’s journey throughout the film; as his lies compound and consequences loom closer, he becomes increasingly desperate but determined not to let anyone down.
Tom Green plays Barry Manilow Jr., Mike’s friend from high school who tags along on their road trip when Mike’s original plan falls apart due to unforeseen circumstances. Tom Green has made something of a career out taking boundary-pushing humor just over-the-top enough for viewers’ tastes – all without ever betraying what feels like genuine heart beneath it all – which makes him well-suited for playing ridiculous man-child Barry.
Seann William Scott portrays E.L., or “E.L.I.E.N.” Henderson,”the fourth member of our central quartet whom they meet up with after arriving in Austion. Seann William Scott tackles E.L.’s character with charm and charisma that immediately endears him into our hearts despite all signs pointing towards being annoying nerd,.

Then we have Mitch played by actor and comedian Paulo Costanzo, who at first glance appears to be a bit of an outsider in his own friend group. Understated yet memorable as Mitch, he serves as the perfect straight man of ‘Road Trip,’ often playing off Seann William Scott as they bounce from one zany experience to another.
Actor DJ Qualls plays Kyle Edwards, an eccentric student whose antics lead the guys into all sorts of wild situations – including a run-in with a python named Hank that very nearly makes Kyle live up to his nickname “The Kidney Stone.” His portrayal adds extra layers fun unpredictability because viewers never know what absurdity he’s going to bring.
Finally, no discussion “Road Trip” would be complete without acknowledging Amy Smart’s role as Beth Wagner; appearing midway through the movie she initially is Josh’s love interests until it later revealed that Tiffany was actually waiting for him in Austin – making sure Josh start desperately lying throughout most of their interactions. Smart brings effortless charisma and poise to her role while still managing to shade moments where she questions whether or not she can trust Josh- all which make this quick turn more effective than if this character were treated like nothing but a disposable plot device.
