- The ’90s series “Charmed” followed a group of witch sisters.
- Famed actresses like Kaley Cuoco and Jenny McCarthy appeared on the series.
- “The Walking Dead”’s Norman Reedus also made an ominous guest spot on the show.
“Charmed” is a witch-centric television series that solidified itself in the late ’90s and early 2000s, alongside other supernatural shows like “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”
“Charmed” has hosted a slew of emerging and established actors over the years.
In honor of the show’s reboot, here’s a list of celebrities that you probably forgot appeared on “Charmed.”
Finola Hughes made sporadic appearances as the witches’ deceased mother.
A huge plotline in “Charmed” was the fact that the three sisters come from a long line of witches. This is where “General Hospital” star Finola Hughes comes in as the Charmed Ones’ mother, Patty, who was murdered by a demon 20 years before the series opener.
Since she played a ghost, Hughes was able to make sporadic appearances throughout the season, including the season finale.
James Read played the sisters' perpetually absent father, Victor.
Opposite Hughes was James Read as Piper, Phoebe, and Prue's absent father, Victor Bennett, who divorced Patty due to the complications of a magical life.
Outside of "Charmed," Reed might be widely recognized as Elle Woods' father in the Legally Blonde movies. He's also made his mark in soap operas like "Days Of Our Lives" and "General Hospital."
John Cho wooed Holly Marie Combs as a spirit stuck in limbo.
In one of the very first episodes of the series, a young John Cho played murdered innocent Mark Chao. He one of the sisters' first innocents they were bound to protect, and he also served as one of the shows first love interests. He had a special connection to middle sister Piper Halliwell, played by Holly Marie Combs.
He went on the star in "Harold & Kumar," "Star Trek," and the short-lived show "Selfie."
Misha Collins kicked off his career with "Charmed" before rising to fame on "Supernatural."
He may have made a name for himself as angel Castiel on "Supernatural," but it isn't the first time Misha Collins has interacted with magical creatures.
In just his third acting credit in 1999, Collins played Eric Bragg, a young man trying to save his father from mind-numbing demons, with the help of the Charmed Ones.
Ron Perlman ran his own Underworld academy for an episode.
Not only did he play demon anti-hero Hellboy, but in an episode of "Charmed" he played the leader of a demonic academy, Mr. Kellman, who turns humans into demons.
Julian McMahon played an evil character for a few seasons.
Julian McMahon was perhaps the show's most prominent demonic presence, with his role as half-demon, half-human character Cole Turner (also known as Belthazor) stretched over three seasons.
The "Nip/Tuck" star wrestled between good and evil as Phoebe Halliwell's most dramatic love interest.
Coolio came back from the dead when he played a Lazarus demon.
In the midst of all the Phoebe Halliwell and Cole Turner drama, Coolio decided to step in and shake things up.
In season four, he played a virtually indestructible Lazarus demon set free by the Seer in an attempt to ruin Cole and Phoebe's wedding. The sisters end up vanquishing him in a cemetery, putting an end to the rapper's very short rule over their lives.
Before he was Dwight on "The Office," Rainn Wilson was a demon.
Rainn Wilson's appearance as demon alchemist Kierkan in season three was very brief - his scene only lasted a few lines before he was brutally murdered by his rogue demon slave. But, that doesn't make it any less memorable.
Amy Adams had a string of bad luck in the early stages of her career as Maggie Murphy.
Before she was bringing the drama in blockbusters like "Nocturnal Animals" and "Arrival," Amy Adams played a down-on-her-luck innocent named Maggie Murphy, who was being stalked by a demon tasked with causing hopelessness in his victims.
Similar to other guest stars on this list, it was one of her first appearances before her rise to fame in the late 2000s.
Zachary Quinto took on a demonic role.

His character, FBI Agent Jackman was working with dark forces rather than fighting them.
French Stewart played a mischievous genie whose constant tricks caused more harm than good.
Much like the personas he's taken on throughout his career in hits like "Inspector Gadget" and "3rd Rock from the Sun," French Stewart's character as the Genie in season two was full of quirky humor and mischief as he granted the sisters three wishes that, of course, went awry.
Jaime Pressly was a mermaid in season five.
You may recognize her as Joy Turner on "My Name Is Earl," and most recently as Jill Kendall in "Mom," but she definitely had a moment in season five of "Charmed."
She played Mylie, a cursed mermaid who accepts the help of the Charmed Ones to defeat the sea wench who threatens to condemn Mylie if she doesn't find true love.
Before he was McSteamy on "Grey's Anatomy," Eric Dane was on "Charmed."

Actress Jenny McCarthy tried to pull off a major switch in season six when she played Mitzky Stillman, the oldest of three low-level demon sisters who plot to steal the identities of the Charmed Ones and rise to power themselves.

Kerr Smith played an agent.
Kerr Smith first made his mark as a teen heartthrob in the throwback series "Dawson's Creek," but he graduated to a federal agent with a vendetta in season seven of the show.
