Vote up the well-known actors you forgot made appearances on 'Supernatural.'

The CW's Supernatural started out as a cult hit before reaching mainstream popularity. It's also become a starting vehicle for many celebrities who have gone on to play much bigger roles in other movies and TV shows. With a 15-year run, it's easy to forget the guest stars on Supernatural, particularly back in those early seasons. 

Here is a list of celebrities on Supernatural that you might've forgotten about or missed on the first watch.


  • Finn Wolfhard, Before 'Stranger Things' And 'It'

    Finn Wolfhard rose in popularity due to Stranger Things, but had his first dark fantasy outing in Supernatural. Here, he played Jordie Pinsky, a boy who's left an orphan after the Darkness spreads her influence around the world.
