The film’s young stars reconnected after first meeting on the Jack Black comedy. Two School of Rock child actors have married after first meeting on the set of the comedy film when they were 10. Caitlin Hale and Angelo Massagli, both 33, tied the knot on 4 January at a ceremony attended by their co-stars – with Jack Black sending the couple a “generous” video message.

Massagli and Hale both featured in Richard Linklater’s 2003 film, which starred Black as a struggling musician-turned-substitute teacher who makes a rock band out of his class of children. Hale played Marta, the band’s backup singer, while Massagli’s role was Frankie, the “tough guy” security guard.
Joining Black in the film, which was written by and also starred The White Lotus creator Mike White, were a cast of other young stars, who were high-schoolers and middle-schoolers at the time. After the film aired, both Hale and Massagli left showbiz to pursue other careers; Hale works as an OB-GYN ultrasound technologist and Massagli is now a lawyer for TikTok.
Hale said the cast bonded quickly on and off set, remaining in touch through a group chat after they finished filming. But it wasn’t until Hale and Massagli, coincidentally, were both studying in Florida in 2018 that they reconnected. From what began as a friendly lunch to catch up led to Hale and Massagli growing closer, with the familiarity from their time working on School of Rock proved a strong foundation for their relationship.
