Starting from the late '90s and into the '00s, the supernatural drama "Charmed" enchanted audiences for eight magical seasons. What started out as an attempt by the fledgling network The WB to lure bigger female teen audiences to their airwaves (the fact that it debuted after "Dawson's Creek" (https://variety.com/1998/tv/news/creek-tweak-in-wb-s-sked-1117470995/) certainly didn't hurt), "Charmed" turned into a pop culture phenomenon in its own right. The series follows the Halliwell sisters, also known as "The Charmed Ones," as they use their powerful witching skills for good. Thwarting demons, warlocks, and other evil beings, Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), Phoebe (Alyssa Milano), and Paige (Rose McGowan) balance their supernatural abilities with the comparatively mundane complications of being human. The popularity of the show has definitely remained consistent, and possibly even grown since the final episode of "Charmed" (https://www.looper.com/455753/the-real-reason-charmed-was-canceled/) aired in 2006. With an expanded universe that includes novels, comic books, and even a tepidly received "Charmed" reboot (https://www.vulture.com/2018/10/charmed-the-cw-reboot-review.html), the franchise continues to cast a spell over fans.
While you might have been familiar with stars like Doherty and Milano at its onset, other actors have a distinct "where have I seen this person before" face. Indeed, many cast members of "Charmed" worked extensively in entertainment before and after their time as witch-protecting "Whitelighters" and sinister demons. Movies, primetime procedural dramas, and especially soap operas — the alumni of "Charmed" have done it all. Let's take a closer look at the cast of "Charmed" and discover their work outside of the beloved series.
