Buffy The Vampire Slayer Cast: Where Are They Now?

11. Michelle Trachtenberg

Buffy Cast
Mutant Enemy Productions / Fox

The Role: Michelle Trachtenberg was a main character across the final three seasons of Buffy, having been created by monks as the Key, a device for unlocking other dimensions, and hidden as Buffy's sister, with the characters having their memories re-written (which may have led to Joyce's brain tumour). 

Where Is She Now? Trachtenberg was pretty busy in the aftermath of Buffy, appearing as Celeste in four episodes of acclaimed drama Six Feet Under, and starring in the teen comedy Eurotrip. Since then she has had a number of roles, including starring alongside Zac Efron in the film 17 Again, and the Kevin Smith movie Cop Out with Bruce Willis and Sean William Scott. 

Her biggest part, however, has been in another popular TV series, starring in 28 episodes of Gossip Girl between 2008-12 as Georgina Sparks. She also starred alongside Orange is the New Black's Taylor Schilling in short-lived medical drama Mercy, which was cancelled after just one season. 

This year she appeared in Sleepy Hollow, and next year will see her in the movies Blank Nation, about the website BlankTV.com, and Sister Cities, about four sisters who reunite after their mother's apparent suicide.
