The CW series, Supernatural, is set to conclude its run at the end of season 15. The series finale is set to air on November 19th, 2020. Interestingly, it was initially meant to run for only five seasons. But thanks to fan interest, it was renewed for 10 more.
So far, 321 episodes have aired, and for a show that has been on the air for this long, the list of cast members is guaranteed to be vast, too. Over the years, several actors have appeared on the show, with a few being well-known names in the entertainment industry. Here are the ones you forgot about.
The Miz
WWE superstar The Miz has some acting experience, having specifically starred in The Marine franchise for a number of years. In Supernatural, he had had a cameo in the 15th episode of season 11, titled "Beyond The Mat." In the episode, one of Sam and Dean's favorite wrestlers committed suicide, so the two hunters went to pay their respects at a wrestling show.
At the show, one person got killed, while another wrestler named Harley (played by The Miz) got kidnapped by his colleague. It was later discovered that the kidnapper was working for a Crossroads Demon that was collecting souls.
Snooki
In the early parts of the last decade, Snooki found plenty of fame as the face of the reality TV series, Jersey Shore. She tried her hand in acting too, appearing in the season 9 episode of Supernatural, titled "Blade Runners."
In it, Snooki portrayed a version of herself that had been possessed by a crossroads demon. She initially refused to cooperate with the Winchesters, but they were later able to talk her into accepting an exorcism, much to the dismay of the Crossroads Demon.
Rick Springfield
Veteran Grammy-winner Rick Springfield had a surprise appearance in the CW series, too. This was the second horror series he appeared in, after American Horror Story.
Springfield guest-starred in three episodes of season 12. He played a washed-up death-metal rock star named Vince Vicente, who was a fan of Lucifer. He thus allowed himself to be used as a vessel. Strangely enough, Springfield had never heard about the series before appearing in it.
Linda Blair
Child stars rarely hold on to their fame when they grow into adults, but Linda Blair proved to be an exception, Blair was nominated for an Oscar when she was only 14 years old, thanks to her incredible performance as the possessed child, Regan, in The Exorcist.
Blair appeared in the seventh episode of season 2, titled "The Usual Suspects," as a detective tasked with investigating a double-homicide. She eventually teamed up with the Winchester brothers and Dean couldn't help but make Exorcist references.
Robert Englund
Horror movie legend Robert Englund is best known for playing the serial killer Freddy Krueger in the slasher film A Nightmare On Elm Street. His appearance in Supernatural was something horror fans had been looking forward to.
Sadly, Englund didn't play any scary character. But he at least got to keep his name. The actor appeared in season 6 where he played Dr. Robert, a black-market surgeon who made Dean's heart to stop so that he could meet Death. He later managed to bring him back to life.
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton is more known for her controversy, but she does put in the work, too. The heiress has appeared in over 20 movies and TV shows over the past two decades.
In season 5's fifth episode, titled "Fallen Idols, Hilton portrays a shape-shifting pagan god named Leshi. The god had a habit of eating its worshippers, as well as taking the form of their celebrity idols. When it took the form of Hilton, the Winchester brothers cornered it, with Sam managing to behead it.
Sarah Drew
Every time fans see Sarah Drew, they see Greys Anatomy fan-favorite character Dr, April Kepner. Drew starred in the medical drama for more than a decade.
Drew appeared in season 5's 12th episode titled "Swap Meat," where she portrayed a witch named Nora. Unlike other witches, Nora wasn't into witchcraft because she liked Lucifer. She only did it to please Gary.
Barry Bostwick
Bostwick has vast experience in the film industry, having gotten his first role in 1971. But the role he is most recognized for is that of Brad in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Bostwick had a cameo in season 4 where he played Jay, a magician who lost his mojo. When he was younger, Jay loved cheating in cards to show that he could perform magic. Charlie thus took him in to teach him proper magic.
Dee Wallace
Wallace earned the nickname "The Scream Queen," after appearing in a number of major 80s horror movies. She often played victims that ended up screaming and running for their lives.
In season 11, Wallace was added to the cast of Supernatural in a supporting role. She portrayed Mildred Baker in the 11th episode titled "Into The Mystic." Mildred was an elderly woman who witnessed a supernatural occurrence at a retirement home.
Lauren Cohan
Fans recognize Cohan from her role as Maggie Greene from The Walking Dead. She portrayed the character from season 2 to season 10, thus becoming one of the faces of the zombie drama.
In season 3 of Supernatural, Cohan played a thief and con-artist named Bela. As a teenager, she made a deal with a Crossroads Demon to send her abusive father to the afterlife. She often disagreed with the hunters and tried to kill them.
