Supernatural Cast: Where Are They Now?

16. Ruth Connell - Rowena MacLeod

Scottish-born theatre actress Ruth Connell starred predominantly as Rowena MacLeod, an immortal witch who is revealed to be the mother of Crowley. Supernatural lore presents her as an abusive mother throughout Crowley's childhood, ultimately abandoning him altogether.

Connell's tenure as Rowena, where she appeared in a combined 33 episodes, made Ruth one of the longest-serving actresses in the show's history. For comparison, Felicia Day is only credited for 11 episodes; Kim Rhodes, meanwhile, starred in 19 episodes of Supernatural.

Having made her final Supernatural appearance in season fifteen's Our Father, Who Aren't In Heaven, Ruth Connell has starred in only three released productions as of this writing. She appeared as Bonnie in the 2020 horror thriller The Cursed Man, and as an unnamed night nurse in an episode of Doom Patrol.

Additionally, the 42-year-old actress provided numerous voices for the 2021 Netflix animation, The Loud House Movie. She starred alongside Asher Bishop and David Tennant, as she voiced the characters of an unnamed car driver and the owner of the chip shoppe, amongst others.

With regards to her upcoming work, Ruth's name is currently linked to three further productions. At present, Connell is in the middle of filming Dead Boy Detectives, an action-adventure comedy penned by Matt Wagner, Neil Gaiman, and Steve Yockey.
