25 Years Later, Here's What the Cast of My So-Called Life Is Up to Now

Danes snagged her first leading role as Angela Chase, the identity-seeking protagonist and narrator of the show. An impressive actor right out the gate, she won her very first Golden Globe in 1995 for her portrayal of Angela.

Danes's career hasn't slowed down at all in the decades since My So-Called Life first aired. Her best known role in recent years is as CIA officer Carrie Mathison on the drama Homeland, which won her two Emmys and two Golden Globes. She has two sons with her husband, actor Hugh Dancy.

Leto played Jordan Catalano, a rebellious bad boy who hides a secret behind his image.

Cruz's Rickie was one of the earliest openly gay teen characters on TV.

Cruz continues to play groundbreaking gay characters: as Dr. Hugh Culber, he's half of a major gay couple on Star Trek: Discovery (opposite fellow Rent alum Anthony Rapp). Over the years, he's had roles on other major shows as well, including Grey's Anatomy and 13 Reasons Why.

Langer played Rayanne Graff, Angela's rebellious best friend. Her life has definitely taken the most unexpected turn: she married into the British aristocracy and is now known as Allison Joy Courtenay, Countess of Devon! There are no recent photos of her, as she's busy leading a life far, far from Hollywood.

Wilhoit portrayed Danielle, Angela's snarky, overlooked little sister.

Although Wilhoit continued to act until 2017, she kept a much lower profile and leaned heavily into voice work rather than being on screen. Since 2017, she's retired from acting and has stepped away from the public eye completely.

Gummersall has continued acting over the last couple of decades, most recently with roles in Mad Men, Criminal Minds, and The Last Ship. He's also turned to directing, including some episodes of the ABC/CMT drama Nashville.

Irwin played Graham, Angela and Danielle's soft-spoken father who toys with the idea of stepping outside his marriage.

Odessa's Sharon was Angela's best friend growing up, but their friendship frays when Angela begins hanging out with Rayanne.

Unlike many of her costars, Odessa isn't doing as much acting these days. Her last major credit was a guest spot on Private Practice in 2011. However, she did stay close to her My So-Called Life family.

"Winnie [Holzman, the show's creator] married my husband and me in 2008. Claire and I were both in each other's weddings," she told Elle in 2016.
