Actors of the series 'Charmed' - how they look now.

In the distant 90s, many interesting projects were released. Among them was a series that became cult. We are talking about 'Charmed'. In the original, the title was translated as 'charmed'.  

Since then, more than 20 years have passed, and many fans are curious about 'Charmed' actors now. After all, they have changed a lot. In addition, the actors of 'Charmed' have experienced several serious scandals. This has also upset fans. 

Main actors of the series 'Charmed'

The series 'Charmed' (original title - 'Charmed') became cult for viewers around the world. Its premiere took place in 1998, and the last episode aired in 2006. During this Time, viewers fell in love with three (and later four) Halliwell sisters - powerful witches who fight evil while trying to maintain their personal lives.

The series combined elements of drama, fantasy, and romance, and it is thanks to its charismatic characters that it remains in the memory of millions. That’s why 'Charmed' actors are no less interesting characters now. 

Holly Marie Combs - Piper Halliwell

Holly Marie Combs played the role of Piper, the middle sister who eventually became the eldest after Prue's death. Her character is the heart of the family, trying to balance magical duties with the desire to have a normal human life. Piper had the ability to freeze time, and later - to cause explosions.

After the series ended, Holly continued her acting career. She starred in the series 'Pretty Little Liars', where she played the mother of one of the main characters. In real life, the actress is raising children and actively sharing her life on social media. Her Instagram contains many personal photos, travel snapshots, and memories from the days of 'Charmed'.

Shannen Doherty - Prue Halliwell

Prue was the eldest of the Halliwell sisters in the first three seasons. She had the ability of telekinesis and astral projection. Her image - strong, determined, responsible - resonated with many fans. However, after conflicts on set, Shannen left the show.

In life, Shannen has faced difficulties multiple times. She publicly battled breast cancer, sharing her story of survival and inspiring thousands. Unfortunately, last year, the actress died from cancer, which returned. For many fans of the show, this was a huge shock. 

Alyssa Milano - Phoebe Halliwell

Phoebe - the youngest sister in the first seasons, who had the gift of premonition. She experienced the most romantic storylines and transformations in the series, from a girl searching for herself to a strong and confident woman. Phoebe's character became one of the brightest thanks to Alyssa Milano's charisma.

After 'Charmed', Alyssa continued acting, particularly in the series 'Mistresses' and 'Insatiable'. She also became an active feminist and one of the prominent public figures in the #MeToo movement. Her Instagram contains both personal moments and many posts on women's rights, politics, and social issues.

Rose McGowan - Paige Matthews

Paige Matthews joined the series 'Charmed' after the tragic death of the elder sister Prue. Her appearance became a plot twist that not only saved the show from ending but also breathed new energy into it. Paige turned out to be the half-sister of the Halliwell sisters, born from the secret love of their mother, Patty, with her 'whitelighter'. This made Paige unique among the sisters - she combined the magical power of a witch with the abilities of a 'whitelighter', allowing her to teleport objects with the power of thought, appear anywhere, and serve as a mediator between the magical worlds.

Paige’s role brought Rose McGowan international fame, although the actress already had experience in cinema. Her character quickly became a fan favorite due to her independent nature, sense of humor, and willingness to sacrifice herself. With Paige's arrival in the series, new storylines emerged, including her search for a place in the family, struggles with the shadows of the past, and the development of her magical abilities, which she initially did not fully understand.

Outside of 'Charmed', Rose McGowan has emerged as a multifaceted personality - actress, director, author of the book 'Brave', and activist. She has repeatedly spoken publicly about her traumatic experiences in the industry, including harassment by Harvey Weinstein. Her words became the spark that ignited the global #MeToo movement, which fundamentally changed Hollywood and the approach to the issue of violence against women in and outside of cinema. Rose shares her thoughts and creativity on Instagram, as well as engaging in activism and art.

Brian Krause - Leo Wyatt

Leo Wyatt is one of the most famous characters in the series, who won the hearts of viewers from his first appearance. As a 'whitelighter', i.e. a guardian angel, he not only watched over the Halliwell sisters but eventually became Piper's husband - the middle sister who most longed for a normal family life. Their love story was one of the deepest and most emotional in the series, with obstacles, separations, losses, and returns. Leo symbolized stability, patience, and support, which are often lacking in a world of magic, where everything changes instantly.

Leo's character underwent a significant transformation - from a simple 'whitelighter', he rose to Elder, and later became an Avatar - a being trying to achieve ideal balance in the Universe. Yet despite the supernatural titles, for fans, Leo always remained primarily a caring husband and father. His gentle yet strong presence became an inseparable part of the atmosphere of 'Charmed'.

Brian Krause, who portrayed Leo, continued acting in film and television after the series ended. He appeared in independent films, series such as 'Mad Men', and in several supernatural-themed projects. Although his acting career did not reach the peak it had during the popularity of 'Charmed', Krause retained fan love and remained present in the cultural space of the series.

He appeared in several TV projects and films, and often attends fan conventions dedicated to 'Charmed'. Brian is quite active on social media: his Instagram is filled with photos with fans, moments from everyday life, and memories of the series.
