What These Sabrina The Teenage Witch Actors Look Like Today
Jaleel White has come a long way since playing the suspenders-clad nerd Steve Urkel on Family Matters. After the show went off the air in 1998, White went to college, graduating from UCLA with a degree in film and television. His acting career slowly began to regain momentum around 2007 when he landed guest spots on shows like The Game and Boston Legal. He went on to appear in other hit series, including House, NCIS, and Castle.
White also appeared on Dancing with the Stars in 2012, finishing in seventh place. During his run on the show, reports claimed he got into a heated altercation with his dancing partner, Kym Johnson, after he allegedly stepped on her foot in rehearsals then yelled at her for overreacting to the pain it caused, according to People. White called the allegations "completely exaggerated," but it is fun imagine to imagine him tripping up his partner and sniveling, "Did I do that?"
Kellie Shanygne Williams
Kellie Shanygne Williams, who played Steve Urkel's unrequited love interest, Laura Winslow, on Family Matters, has acted sporadically over the years, most famously on ABC's Joan Cusack vehicle What About Joan. She also landed guest spots on Girlfriends and Eve. One of her most recent credits, according to IMDb is the 2011 romantic short Aide-de-Camp, which we're pretty sure you haven't seen.
According to the actress' official website, Williams' top priority is being a "devoted wife and mother." She and husband Hannibal Jackson have two children: Hannah Belle and John Ervin Jackson. Williams ralso dabbles in public speaking and charitable events in and around the Washington, D.C., area, where she resides.
Darius McCrary
Darius McCrary has kept busy on the small screen since playing Eddie Winslow on Family Matters. In recent years, he's appeared on hit shows such as HBO's The Leftovers and the Charlie Sheen comedy Anger Management. From 2009 to 2011, he had a recurring role on the daytime soap The Young and the Restless.
McCrary's personal life, however, has been a bit more messy. According to TMZ, the actor has been married not once, but three times. His second marriage, to Karrine Steffans, has been the source of major drama over the last few years, particularly in 2010, when he was accused of beating Steffans with a belt in front of the couple's son. Five years later, McCrary was jailed for falling behind on child support payments. That same year, Steffans admitted she lied under oath when she claimed she once saw McCrary hit their son with a spoon.
He's now married to Tammy Brawner, a former Harlem Globetrotter, according to TMZ.
Ben Savage
After Boy Meets World went off the air in 2000, Ben Savage, who played the protagonist Cory Mathews, graduated with a degree in political science from Stanford University. He kept up with acting here and there, landing parts on shows like Bones and Chuck, before returning to the small screen full-time in 2014 on the Disney Channel's Boy Meets World reboot, Girl Meets World.
Danielle Fishel
Danielle Fishel, who played Cory's love interest, Topanga Lawrence, on Boy Meets World, has made a name for herself as the host of numerous TV shows over the years, most famously Say What? Karaoke and the Style network's clip show The Dish. Like Savage, she can currently be seen on Girl Meets World.
In 2012, at the age of 31, Fishel graduated from California State University, Fullerton. In a Tumblr post that year, Fishel wrote that she was initially hesitant to go to college out of fear of being "the old lady in class." "After my 27th birthday, I made the decision to stop letting fear be a factor in fulfilling my dreams and living the life I wanted, so with a little encouragement from friends and family, I enrolled. And I went," she wrote. Fishel also said she became a math tutor at Fullerton. According to her post, that's how she eventually met her husband, Tim Belusko, whom she married in 2013. Fishel filed for divorce in March 2016.
Rider Strong
Rider Strong, better known as Cory's best friend Shawn, has kept a pretty low profile since Boy Meets World. Despite working steadily over the last 16 years, he's only had a few high-profile guest spots on shows such as Castle and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. After a bit of back-and-forth, the Columbia University graduate agreed to join the cast of Girl Meets World as a recurring guest star. He's reportedly been even more involved with the show behind the scenes, directing more than a dozen episodes, according to IMDb.
Will Friedle
Will Friedle, aka Cory's older brother, Eric, on Boy Meets World has become a prolific voice-over actor. His vocal credits include Kim Possible: Thundercats and the TV animated version of Guardians of the Galaxy, in which he plays Star-Lord. Friedle has also appeared on episodes of Girl Meets World.
In 2015, he confirmed on Twitter that he's engaged to be married.
Just like the rest of us, the stars of ABC's Sabrina the Teenage Witch have grown up quite a bit. Just how different do Sabrina and her magical aunts look today? Odds are, you might not even recognize them.
Melissa Joan Hart
In the years following Sabrina the Teenage Witch, star Melissa Joan Hart has popped up on a handful of TV shows and made-for-TV movies, including Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Holiday in Handcuffs and My Fake Fiancé. The latter title, which co-starred Joey Lawrence, eventually led to the ABC Family comedy Melissa & Joey. That series ran from 2010 to 2015.
Hart has been married to musician Mark Wilkerson for 13 years. They have three sons.
Nate Richert
Nate Richert, who played Sabrina's handsome love interest Harvey Kinkle on the hit comedy, has since traded his acting days for music. According to his official website, Richert released a rock-Americana album called Halogen Moon in 2012. He also looks, um, way different than he used to on Sabrina, which Richert himself has poked fun at on Twitter.
Beth Broderick
Broderick, who played Sabrina's aunt, Zelda, has kept more than busy on the small screen since Sabrina went on the air, landing guest spots on everything from The Closer, to Castle and ER. Her biggest role came in 2005, when she played Kate's mom on the Emmy-winning drama Lost. She appeared on the show through 2008.
In 2014, Broderick reunited with Joan Hart to play Dr. Ellen Radler on the ABC Family series Melissa & Joey. According to a 2015 Reddit AMA, Broderick currently lives in Austin, Texas.
Caroline Rhea
Rhea's post-Sabrina career was filled with a lot of potential that never really came to fruition. Although she famously took over for Rosie O'Donnell after O'Donnell left her eponymous talkshow in 2002, Rhea's version—aptly titled The Caroline Rhea Show—was canceled after just one season, in 2003. The next year, she signed on as host of the popular NBC weight-loss show The Biggest Loser but left after just three seasons.
In the years since, she played bit parts on TV shows and in movies over the years, and has done some TV work in her home country of Canada, as well. She also lent her voice to the wildly popular Disney Channel series Phineas and Ferb for a whopping 165 episodes.
In 2008, she welcomed a daughter, Ava, with comedian Costaki Economopoulos, according to People magazine.
Nick Bakay
One year after Sabrina went off the air, Bakay reprised his role as the famous talking cat Salem Saberhagen on an episode of The Simpsons. He also appeared on a small number of television shows over the years, including The King of Queens and 'Til Death. Bakay, seen here in 2009, later retimed with King of Queens star Kevin James for the 2011 big-screen comedy Zookeeper.
