Buffy The Vampire Slayer Cast: Where Are They Now?

7. Charisma Carpenter

The Role: Charisma Carpenter played the similarly alliteratively-named Cordelia Chase through the first three seasons of the show, moving from being the stereotypically mean popular girl to an important member of the group, before heading off to star on spin-off show Angel, which saw her and Angel develop a surprisingly great love story. 

Where Is She Now? Carpenter's biggest roles since Buffy (and Angel) ended have been in The Expandables film series, playing the girlfriend of Jason Statham's character, a recurring part on Veronica Mars, and one of the main roles in The Lying Game. 

This year she has starred in Bound (a low-budget version of Fifty Shades of Grey, which doesn't bear thinking about), and will be in the aforementioned The Griddle House, and also Girl in Woods, A Horse Tail, and Felo De Se. 

The biggest thing on her slate, though, is a recurring role in new Ryan Murphy show Scream Queens, which has just begun its first season on Fox in the US, and will be on E4 in the UK later in the year.
