The daughter of Sissy Spacek and Jack Fisk, Schuyler Fisk picked up her first major role (and her first credit on a film involving neither of her parents) at the age of 13 when she starred in The Baby-Sitters Club as Kristy, the club founder and president. In the 2000s, the actor-singer-songwriter moved towards focusing on her music rather than film roles, and she released her debut album, The Good Stuff, in 2009. In 2010, she joined forces with OneRepublic's Tim Myers and formed the duo FM Radio. Her recent onscreen credits include Gus Van Sant's Restless (2011), the Nicholas Sparks adaptation The Best of Me (2014), a 2016 episode of Fear the Walking Dead, the 2018 Lifetime movie Every Other Holiday, and a recurring role as the younger version of her mother's character, Ruth, on Castle Rock.

Rachael Leigh Cook made her acting debut when she played Mary Anne, she of the perfect handwriting, in The Baby-Sitters Club in 1995. She followed it up with another major family release, playing Becky Thatcher in Tom and Huck later that same year. It wasn't until 1999 that she had her breakout moment when she starred in the high school-set Pygmalion story She's All That, opposite '90s dreamboat Freddie Prinze, Jr. After playing the title role in 2001's Josie and the Pussycats, Cook gravitated towards indie projects and voice acting. She has done voice work on the Adult Swim series Robot Chicken since 2006, and has voiced parts in the Kingdom Hearts and Star Wars: The Old Republic video game series. Recently, she has appeared an a variety of Hallmark movies as well as two episodes of Criminal Minds.

German actor Christian Oliver was actually 23 when he played Stacy's 17-year-old love interest Luca, who receives a terrible shock when he learns that the baby-sitter of his dreams is only 13.
