Netflix's Locke & Key just released season 2, with plenty of familiar faces on the show. While most cast members are memorable from their appearances in season 1, many of them had notable roles in other movies and shows.
Considering a good portion of the cast are either young adults or teens, they have changed a lot over the years. Many of them had roles in their younger years that many viewers might not have even realized were them due to aging. Other actors on Locke & Key had roles in which they went through huge makeovers, making them look entirely different.
Jackson Robert Scott - It (2017) - Stream On Max Go
Jackson Robert Scott portrayed Georgie Denbrough, the younger brother who's eaten alive in the sewers in It: Chapter One and It: Chapter Two. His character is most known for wearing a yellow rainjacket and for having one of the most shocking opening scenes in a horror movie, due to him being so young and in such a violent scene.
Aside from his breakthrough role in the It movies, Scott also made appearances in Fear the Walking Dead and Criminal Minds. Although, his role in those two series was much smaller than his most recent work.
Emilia Jones - Doctor Who (2013) - Stream On HBO Max
Emilia Jones played Merry in an episode of the highly praised British series Doctor Who. It would be hard to recognize her because she was much younger and her character was also an alien. Many fans would also be surprised to find out that the actress is from England, but she does one of the most convincing American accents on Locke & Key.
Other than Doctor Who, Jones could also be seen on the nostalgic Nickelodeon series House of Anubis and on Amazon Prime's Utopia, which was a remake of a British series that has now been canceled.
Kevin Durand - X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) - Stream On Peacock
Kevin Durand is hardly recognizable in his role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, as he appeared much heavier playing Fred Dukes/The Blob. Either way, this role was pretty major, as he got to portray one of the first villains the X-Men ever fought in comics.
Durand also had notable roles in other movies and shows, such as Lost, Vikings, and the movie I Am Number Four. Other than on-screen acting, he also voice-acted on the popular animated series Scooby-Doo and Family Guy.

Other than Smallville, Aaron Ashmore starred in Killjoys from 2015 to 2019. He was one of the lead actors on the show, and it definitely left an impression on his career as he was quick to be cast in Locke & Key right after.
Laysla De Oliveira - In The Tall Grass (2019) - Stream On Netflix
