Napoleon Dynamite, the beloved cult classic from 2004, stars Jon Heder as the titular character and is directed by Jared Hess. The film follows the adventures of Napoleon, an awkward teenager from rural Idaho who relies on his friends, family, and imaginary ability to conjure up a karate-chopping llama to help him overcome challenges.

Since its debut, Napoleon Dynamite has become a cult classic movie with an iconic main character and a popular cast of supporting actors. Jon Heder was previously an unknown actor when he was cast as Napoleon, and since then has gained mainstream fame from his role in the film. Jon Heder is a comedian and actor who has a long list of characters and voiceovers in addition to Napoleon, including parts in Blades of Glory and the Fox sitcom Golan the Insatiable.

The film also features Aaron Ruell as Kip, John Gries as Grandma, Tina Majorino as Deb, Efren Ramirez as Pedro, Jon Gries as Uncle Rico, and Diedrich Bader as Rex. All of these actors are well-known in the entertainment industry and have a variety of roles in television and film aside from their roles in Napoleon Dynamite.

Napoleon Dynamite may have been Jon Heder’s breakout role, but with the help of its iconic cast, the film has achieved widespread success and has become an absolute classic. While the characters and plot may be imaginary, the actors certainly did an outstanding job of bringing it to life.
