Every Confirmed Actor for ‘Scary Movie 6’

The latest movie in this funny horror series features both familiar and new actors. Many of the returning stars were in previous films that playfully poked fun at popular horror movies and trends. The new cast members are known for their comedic timing and memorable characters from sketch and TV shows. Here’s a list of all the confirmed actors and what they’re known for, both from this series and their previous work.

Anna Faris

Look, as a critic, I have to say Anna Faris is Scary Movie. She basically defined the whole vibe of those first four films as Cindy Campbell, leading the charge through all the slasher and ghost-hunting mayhem. She brought this wonderfully clueless, yet determined, energy to the ‘final girl’ role that really set the tone. And let’s not forget, she was a comedy powerhouse throughout the 2000s – consistently funny, reliable timing, the whole package. Her coming back isn’t just a cameo; it instantly connects the new movie to the characters and humor we all remember and love.

Regina Hall

Hall was beloved for playing Brenda Meeks in the first four ‘Scary Movie’ films, delivering hilarious performances and iconic reactions. She’s a versatile actress with experience in both comedic and dramatic roles, appearing in successful TV shows and movies. Her character was central to the ongoing story of the Meeks family and their friends. Bringing her back will delight fans who remember Brenda’s many quotable lines.

Marlon Wayans

Keenan Wayans played the character Shorty Meeks in the first two movies and was also involved in the creative process of those films. Throughout his career, he’s worked as a sketch comedy writer, actor, and producer for both film and television. The character of Shorty Meeks was known for its recurring jokes and fit well within stoner and buddy comedy styles. His presence in the films often includes references that dedicated fans quickly pick up on.

Shawn Wayans

Shawn Wayans originally played Ray Wilkins and also helped write the script with his family. He’s well-known for his comedic sketches and movies that rely on exaggerated humor. In the story, Ray interacted with Cindy and Brenda throughout high school and at parties, which moved the plot forward. Bringing him back brings together many of the original cast members.

Lochlyn Munro

Munro first appeared as Greg Phillippe in the initial movie, playing a key member of the main teen group. Since then, he’s built a strong career with roles in many crime and teen mystery TV shows. His character connected different scary movie spoofs through scenes involving sports and school hallways. Bringing him back helps recapture the feeling of the original high school setting and characters.

Dave Sheridan

Sheridan first appeared in the series as Doofy Gilmore, a comedic take on the classic small-town deputy character. His role ended with a surprising reveal reminiscent of a famous twist in a slasher film. Since then, he’s consistently worked on independent comedies and genre movies. His return to the series connects directly back to the original film’s central mystery.

Jon Abrahams

James Abrahams played Bobby Prinze, Cindy’s boyfriend, in the first movie. His character was key to the mystery and also playfully poked fun at typical teen thriller heroes. Since then, Abrahams has worked on both TV crime shows and independent films. Bringing him back to the series now revisits the original love story.

Cheri Oteri

In the first movie, Oteri played Gail Hailstorm, a reporter who exaggerated stories for dramatic effect, poking fun at sensationalist journalism. Oteri’s background in sketch comedy allowed her to create a memorable character. Gail’s reporting helped connect the action and interviews, driving the plot forward. Bringing that same over-the-top news style back in the sequel gives the story a realistic in-universe media perspective.

Chris Elliott

As a big fan of the series, I always loved the second film’s haunted house, and a huge part of what made it work was Elliott’s portrayal of Hanson, the quirky caretaker. He really grounded a lot of the humor in those mansion scenes, especially the funny bits during meals. He’s known for doing great comedic work on TV, often playing really memorable, offbeat characters. Seeing Hanson again felt like a fantastic way to bring the series back to its roots and that iconic house setting – it just worked.

Kim Wayans

Kim Wayans played Mrs. Meeks in the first few films, helping to build the Meeks family’s story. Having worked in comedy and dramatic television and movies, she brought a sense of normalcy to the often-crazy household, and provided a relatable perspective on the teens’ antics. Bringing her character back reconnects a vital part of the family we’ve seen throughout the series.

Damon Wayans Jr.

Damon Wayans Jr. is new to the series, but he’s a seasoned comedian with experience in TV sitcoms and working in ensemble casts. He’s known for his quick wit and physical humor. His involvement continues the Wayans family’s legacy with these films and opens the door for connections with characters from previous movies.

Gregg Wayans

Gregg Wayans is the latest addition to the well-known Wayans comedy family. He’s an actor and writer with experience in both sketch and traditional sitcoms. He’ll bring a new dimension to scenes focused on school or family life, continuing the series’ history of being led by Wayans family members known for their comedic parodies.

Heidi Gardner

Gardner comes from the world of late-night sketch comedy, where she’s known for creating quirky characters and funny parodies. She’s also worked on both live-action and animated shows, often providing unique character voices. Her experience makes her perfect for playing roles like reporters, anchors, influencers, or anyone in a satirical setting. She’ll be a great addition, bringing quick-change character work and a knack for memorable cameos.

Olivia Rose Keegan

Keegan joins the cast with experience in daytime TV and recent roles in shows with similar themes. She’s played both heroes and villains, often in stories that include music or suspense, which is perfect for the show’s high school and college settings. She also brings a fresh, youthful energy that will appeal to both longtime fans and new viewers.

Sydney Park

Park is a skilled director known for her work on teen mysteries and thrilling zombie survival stories. She’s great at managing large casts and blending suspense with humor. Her experience with scenes like school hallways, parties, and chases makes her a perfect fit for this project, bringing a modern horror feel that complements the overall style of the franchise.
