Remember All Of These 'Charmed' Guest Stars?

Prepare thyself, Charmed fans: the Halliwell sisters will be returning to television, in some form, thanks to a newly announced Charmed reboot. While the show is planned as a "reimagining" of the original, per the report issued by The Hollywood Reporter, there's no doubt in my mind that the Halliwells — Piper, Phoebe, and Prue — as well as their half-sister Paige Matthews will return when the reboot happens. And while witchy thoughts dance around in our heads, with your guess as to the possibilities of what's to come as good as mine, it's only reasonable we take a look at the original series. Specifically, all of the celebrities you forgot guest-starred on Charmed.

What wasn't to love about Charmed? Premiering in 1998, during the heyday and intersection of empowered female heroes and supernatural stories (think Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the women of The Craft), Charmed was a brilliant, feminist show. Charmed taught us important life lessons, impressing on us the importance of sisterhoods (familial or otherwise). Plus, Charmed acted as an entry point into pop culture for some of our favorite actors.

As mentioned above, Charmed had a ton of guest stars during its incredible eight-season run. Many of the stars, who made everything from a one-episode appearance to a season-long stint, are now working regularly in film and television. Do the names Amy Adams, John Cho, and Nick Lachey ring a bell? Yeah, they totally guest-starred, along with these other awesome actors.
