35 Famous People Who Guest Starred On SUPERNATURAL - UPDATE

With 14 seasons and over 300 episodes to date, Supernatural has featured an absurd number of guest actors over the years. Some of these guest stars were quite well known, others have gone on to find great fame. So as we approach Supernatural's 15th and final season we've rounded up 35 famous people you will more than likely know, but might not realise you saw them in Supernatural.


1. Alden Ehrenreich 
Soon to be Han Solo in 2018's Solo: A Star Wars Story, a 16 year old Alden Ehrenreich got his first credited screen role in the 2005 Supernatural episode Wendigo as Ben Collins.



2. Robert Picardo
Best known for his many years on Star Trek: Voyager, Robert Picardo appeared on the season 6 episode Clap Your Hands If You Want To Believe, where he played Wayne Whittaker Jr./The Leprechaun!


3. Robert Englund
Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, popped up as Dr Robert in the 2010 episode Appointment In Samarra.


4. Jewel Staite
Firefly favourite, and Buffy alum (of which there are loads of them on this list, and we'll get to soon) Jewel Staite played Amy Pond (not that Amy Pond) in the season 7 episode The Girl Next Door, where she co-starred with...


5. Colin Ford
As young Sam Winchester Colin Ford has appeared in half a dozen episodes of Supernatural over the years. You may have also seen him spending three seasons Under The Dome as Joe McAlister on the CBS series.


6. Brian Doyle-Murray
Bill's brother Brian turned up in the alternate reality episode The French Mistake playing Robert Singer (in real life a director, writer and executive producer on the show, and the man who gave his name to fan favourite character Bobby Singer). You may have seen or heard him in pretty much everything that's ever been produced over the years, from Groundhog Day to SpongBbob SquarePants, The Middle, Wayne's World, Caddyshack, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and four years on Saturday Night Live.


7. Amy Acker
Way back in the third ever episode of Supernatural, Dead In The Water, Amy Acker became the first of many Buffy/Angel alum to guest star on the series. Over the years she has been followed by...


8. Julie Benz
In 2006 Julie Benz (Darla on Buffy/Angel) guest-starred in the episode Faith as Layla Rourke.


9. Amber Benson
Tara from Buffy, Amber Benson, played a vampire named Lenora in two episodes of Supernatural, first appearing in the 2006 episode Bloodlust and then five years later in Mommy Dearest.


10. Mercedes McNab
As Harmony in Buffy/Angel she knew a thing or two about vampires so it was no stretch for her playing Lucy in the 2007 episode Fresh Blood. Taking a break from the Buffy-verse (although there are more to come) we dip into another popular television franchise...


11. Jeffrey Dean Morgan
It's John 'Dad' Winchester, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who guest-starred in twelve episodes of Supernatural across the first three seasons before he was called up to Watchmen and went on to further fame in Grey's Anatomy, The Good Wife and, of course, as Negan in The Walking Dead.


12. Lauren Cohen
Before playing Maggie in The Walking Dead, Lauren Cohen had a six episode story-arc as Bela Talbot in season three of Supernatural.


13. Gary Cole
The great, and prolific, Gary Cole appeared on Supernatural in the season two episode Hollywood Babylon where he played Brad Redding.


14. Lesley Nicol
All those years 'downstairs' on Downton Abbey drove poor old Mrs. Patmore crazy! Yes, in what was one of the finest casting decisions the show has ever made, Lesly Nicol appeared as Katja in the season ten episode About A Boy.


15. Mitch Pileggi
It's Walter Skinner from The X-Files, or, as he's known in the Supernatural universe, Samuel Campbell, grandfather to Sam & Dean who first appeared in the 2008 episode In The Beginning and popped back another seven times for a story-arc in season six.


16. Adrianne Palicki 
Sam's girlfriend Jessica who burst in to flames during the pilot episode of Supernatural has gone on to appear in Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Bobbi Morse (and was very nearly TV's Wonder Woman). Adrianne Palicki still found time to make three more return visits to Supernatural between 2005 and 2009.


17. Linda Blair
Managing to keep her head from spinning around, one time possessed child Regan from The Exorcist, Linda Blair guested as Detective Diana Ballard on the season two episode The Usual Suspects.


18. Cory Monteith
He would find fame on Glee, before sadly departing this mortal realm in 2013, Cory Monteith played Gary in the second ever episode of Supernatural, Wendigo.


19. Snooki 
Although now she'd rather go by the name Nicole Polizzo, back when she was happy with Snooki ("What's a Snooki?") this bit of stunt casting saw her play a crossroad demon-possessed version of herself in the 2014 episode Blade Runners. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse...




20. Paris Hilton
Socialite, recording artist, reality TV star, designer, model, author.... is there anything this woman can actually do well? Seemingly no, as her turn as Leshii in the season five episode Fallen Idols proved.


21 & 22. James Masters & Charisma Carpenter
Back to some Buffy-verse alum now and two of the best to appear in Supernatural. Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia on Buffy and Angel) and James Marsters (Spike on Buffy and Angel), who played a dueling couple of ancient witches in the 2011 episode Shut Up, Dr Phil.


23. Felicia Day
Felicia Day made her mark on Supernatural playing the wonderful Charlie Bradbury in seven episodes. She also appeared as one of the potential slayers on Buffy‘s seventh season, as well as starring in Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.


24. Barry Bostwick
It's Brad Majors (A Hero) from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and you may have seen him appear as Jay on the brilliant Supernatural episode Criss Angel Is A Douche Bag.


25. Tricia Helfer
Best known as Number Six on Battlestar Galactica, Tricia Helfer appeared alongside Sam & Dean as Molly McNamara on the season two episode Roadkill.

UPDATE: 10 more Supernatural guest stars for you...


26. Sterling K. Brown
You've seen him in Black Panther, This Is Us, and a whole host of other show's and movies, but back in Season 2 Sterling K. Brown made his first of four appearances as Gordon Walker in the 2006 episode Bloodlust.


27. Katie Cassidy
Ruby, Ruby, ruby, Rubyyyy... Years before her long running stint on Arrow, David Cassidy's daughter played Ruby (then Lilith) in six episodes of season 3.


28. Kurt Fuller
From Ghostbusters II to Psyche, this character actor has a resume as long as your arm, including eight guest starring appearances as Zacharia.


29. Timothy Omundson
Also seen on Psyche, and MI:III, 24, Deadwood, and a classic turn as King Richard in Galavant, Timothy Omundson played Cain on three episodes of Supernatural.

You've seen him on Lost, Bosch, The Good Wife, Sons Of Anarchy, and Supernatural when he played Roger/War on the season 5 episode Good God Y'all.


31. Lexa Doig

33. Jason Dohring
Possibly most famous for playing Logan Echolls on Veronica Mars, Jason Dohring guest starred on the season 7 episode Time After Time as Cronos/Ethan Snider.


34. Amanda Tapping
Ten episodes guesting as Naomi on Supernatural is just a drop in the ocean on Amanda Tapping's resume. You've also seen her in Travelers, Sanctuary, and of course the Stargate TV series'.

In 2016 Rick Springfield appeared in three episodes of season 12 as Lucifer, where he wooed Jesse's Girl Kelly Kline and engaged in some Human Touch!
