10 Buffy Actors Who Went On To Great Things

8. Charisma Carpenter

Main cast on Buffy, and leading lady on its spin-off Angel, Charisma Carpenter has done quite well for herself over the years. Her character growth as Cordelia Chase was the most pronounced of any character in the Buffyverse during her run on the two shows, making her beloved to fans. After leaving Angel following the show's fourth season (though she did turn up for season five's Thank You), Carpenter went on to take a role in another popular series on the CW, Veronica Mars. Though it lasted just a few seasons, Veronica Mars made enough of an impact to be resurrected via a Kickstarter campaign thanks to fan interest, which spawned a big screen outing. Carpenter also appeared in the Expendables franchise, alongside Jason Statham.
