Cast of Characters

Here is a partial list of the cast of Clone High. Clone High writer Adam Pava wrote that every background character appearing in Clone High is actually a historical figure, not just a randomly designed place holder. Therefore any list of the cast of Clone High must be considered tentative at best.
