Mike White (Then)

As the writer and producer of “School of Rock,” Mike White also played the role of Ned Schneebly. Best friends and roommates with Dewey, Ned often shrugs off his lazy behavior. He’s also very submissive and allows his girlfriend to be the authoritative one in the relationship. White’s writing credits include episodes of “Dawson’s Creek,” “Freaks and Geeks,” and “Pasadena.”
