14 Stars You Never Knew Were in Gilmore Girls

We’ve been geeking out about Gilmore Girls every since EVERY SINGLE ONE of the episodes came to Netflix (!!!). And upon viewing GG for the umpteenth time, we realized how many now-famous stars appeared on the show throughout its run. Here are some of the highlights, below. (P.S. Want to know what all of the stars up to now? We have answers.)

Chad Michael Murray: The One Tree Hill actor got an early start on GG as bad boy (who was crushin’ on Rory) Tristin Dugray.__

__Adam Brody__: We first fell in love with Adam on *Gilmore Girls* and were *deeeelighted* when he later moved on to our other TV love, *The O.C.*. (Fun fact: On *GG*, Adam’s character, Dave Rygalski, actually moves away to California!)

Krysten Ritter: We remember Krysten Ritter’s other roles in Veronica Mars, Breaking Bad, and Don’t Trust the B—but not many were huge fans of her role as Rory’s new college friend Lucy.

__Danny Pudi__: *Community* fans will be psyched to see Danny’s cameo as Raj, a staffer at the *Yale Daily News *under Rory’s regime.

Seth MacFarlane: The Family Guy creator had a brief (but memorable) role as cranky Bob, one of Lorelei’s classmates.

__Nick Offerman__: Before we knew him as Ron Swanson, Nick appeared in two *Gilmore* episodes as Beau, Jackson’s brother.

Jon Hamm: Lorelei briefly dates Jon Hamm’s Peyton Sanders—and, like Don Draper, he’s classy, handsome, and charming.

__Matt Czuchry:__ These days we’re swooning over Matt’s role as Cary Agos on *The Good Wife*—but way back when, he was breaking hearts as Rory’s bad-boy-turned-good boyfriend Logan Huntzberger.

__Sebastian Bach:__ The former Skid Row frontman plays Gil, the guitarist in Lane’s band.

Danny Strong: Danny’s had a majorly successful career in both acting (Mad Men, Girls) and writing (The Butler, Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Empire)—but we’ll always love him best as Doyle McMaster, Paris’ boyfriend and editor of the Yale Daily News.

Billy Burke: Before he was Bella’s dad in the Twilight franchise, his character, Alex Lesman, dated Lorelei. (Note: We couldn’t find a clip of him, but here’s one of Lorelei talking about going on a fishing date with him…)

__Victoria Justice__: The Nickelodeon star’s first acting credit was as “Jill #2” on *Gilmore Girls*. Her scene acting against Melissa McCarthy is a memorable one:

Mary Lynn Rajskub: You know her from 24, It’s Always Sunny, and other roles, but she had a truly wonderful part as the “girlfriend” in Kirk’s film.

__Jane Lynch__: We’d list all the ways you know/recognize Jane Lynch, but…well, you know who she is. She had a one-episode cameo as a nurse on *GG* in 2000.
