Others, sadly, are no longer with us.

Years later, Smith spoke withTVLineabout the emotional fight that makes up the climax of the pilot.

“I remember it was very intense and a little scary.”

Bright begins the series as a bully who taunts Ephram, but the two eventually become best friends.

All the way back in 2002, he broke down his character forET.

“And for some reason, they cast me, which is weird, you know?

I usually blow most of the auditions that I go to.”

Pratt doesn’t blow auditions anymore; he’s by far the most successful “Everwood” alum.

He’s an A-lister, leading the “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Jurassic World” franchises.

She later starred on “The Resident,” playing Nicolette Nevin for 76 episodes.

Perhaps her four-season rule is why VanCamp left the show several episodes into Season 5.

He narrated the show, and he was also the Abbott kids' step-grandfather.

Thankfully, Beasley was given better material as the series progressed, and the character became a fan favorite.

He even stopped in for an episode of “The Resident,” starring his former co-star Emily VanCamp.

If I never got to Broadway, I would still feel I’ve had a pretty successful career."

Sadly, Beasley did not make it to Broadway; he died in May 2023.

His co-star Treat Williams paid homage onTwitter, writing, “His narration gave Everwood its soul.

His acting gave Everwood its gravitas.

His friendship gave me laughter and joy.

I so loved this man.”

“I knew I loved Nina, and I knew she loved me,” she recalled.

As a result, Niznik was disappointed by the show’s cancellation.

After “Everwood,” Niznik starred on the short-lived CW series “Life Is Wild.”

Her final role, in 2009, was for a TV film called “The Twenty.”

According toVariety, Niznik died in 2019.

Her “Everwood” co-star Scott Wolf honored her onTwitter, writing, “This is heartbreaking.

She was so kind, and so fun to work with.

I’m lucky to have known her.”

“They were all my mentors.

After the show ended, Cardone continued to act intermittently.

According to herInstagrambio, Cardone now works as a librarian, and she occasionally makes library-related content for TikTok.

He once joked around withMovieholeabout how alike he and his character were.

I’m anything but rigid,” he insisted.

During the cast reunion atATX Festival 2014, Amandes shared an anecdote about the show’s cancellation.

He also played a judge on “Perry Mason.”

She toldMyFanbaseshe was disappointed when “Everwood” was canceled.

Drew later went on to play Dr. April Kepner on 204 episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Her character was written out in 2018, but she has returned to the show several times.

She’s such a part of me.

She’s like a sister.

“I read the script and I fell in love with it,” she shared withET.

“I was excited to work with Bonnie Hunt.

I loved the characters.”

She also loved the show’s unique blend of animation and live-action.

“It’s such a delightful way to use the creative storytelling brain.”

“The beauty of ‘Everwood’ is they could’ve put a complete jerk in there.

But Jake’s not a bad guy,” he said.

“He clearly has his heart in the right place.”

Wolf would have left “Everwood” after Season 4, even if the show hadn’t been canceled.

He toldIGN, “My decision was really just a personal one.

Most recently, he played Nancy’s father Carson on The CW’s “Nancy Drew” series.

“It just lit my imagination on fire,” he said.

“It was very evocative, so it was exciting to just imagine where it might go.”

The show was ultimately cancelled after four seasons, just like “Everwood.”

Edna is also Harold’s mother, which makes her Amy and Bright’s grandmother.

“The whole cast was just wonderful to work with,” she said.

“It was truly one of the shining experiences of my life.”

Furthermore, Mooney revealed that she fell in love with Utah, where the Colorado-set show was filmed.

“I still kept my place up in Utah,” she said.

“I still go up there.”

Luckily, Colin woke up.

He wasn’t too upset about being killed off, acknowledging that it’s the reality of the business.

He is now best known for voicing Jak in the “Jak & Daxter” video game series.

He was a medical student who dated Amy and even lived with Bright.

Treat Williams was a legend.

From 2014-2019, Baldoni played Rafael on 99 episodes of “Jane the Virgin.”

And it really cracked me open,” he said.

He has even delivered aTED Talkabout the concept of masculinity as an unattainable ideal.

Like his “Everwood” co-star Gregory Smith, Baldoni has moved behind the camera.
