Castle's Captor, A Scandal-Ous Successor And 24 More Homes For Cancelled Shows' Stars

Aimee Teegarden

Aimee Teegarden

PAST GIG | Star-Crossed

NEW GIG | A record label executive looking to sign Maddie Conrad to her label on Nashville. While we're still waiting for a Coach-Tami Friday Night Lights reunion, we'd settle for seeing Connie Britton on screen with her first other TV daughter.

AnnaSophia Robb

AnnaSophia Robb

PAST GIG | The Carrie Diaries

NEW GIG | Zach's quietly conservative college girlfriend — who holds her ground with surprising ease during some Thanksgiving-dinner debate with a half-vexed, half-amused Alicia on The Good Wife.

Ari Graynor

Ari Graynor

PAST GIG | Bad Teacher

NEW GIG | A libidinous sorceress who breezes into town and makes fast friends with Jenna Dewan Tatum's Freya on Witches of East End.

Bradley Whitford

Bradley Whitford

PAST GIG | Trophy Wife

NEW GIG | Imagine the Scandal-ous fun to be had when David Rosen (played by West Winger Josh Malina) meets Harrison's replacement, who happens to be D.C.-familiar and an old pro at the walk-and-talk! The actors' live-tweeting parties alone....

Brendan Dooling

Brendan Dooling

PAST GIG | The Carrie Diaries

NEW GIG | A much-needed and appropriately sophisticated love interest for Faking It's Shane. Can someone please get the former Walt Reynolds on the next bus to MTV?

CHERYL HINES

Cheryl Hines

PAST GIG | Suburgatory

NEW GIG | A transplant from Atlanta P.D. who brings an outwardly ditzy but ultimately very effective presence to Capt. Gregson's detective squad — and finds herself both sparring and flirting with Sherlock — on CBS' Elementary.

Chris Lowell

Chris Lowell

PAST GIG | Enlisted

NEW GIG | A detective hired on Brooklyn Nine-Nine to replace Jake while he's secretly undercover. Lowell's turn as the snarky middle brother on Enlisted proved that we definitely need more of him on TV. At least until that Piz-centric Veronica Mars spin-off gets Kickstarted.

Christopher Meloni

Christopher Meloni

PAST GIG | Surviving Jack

NEW GIG | A tough-on-the-outside, nice-guy-on-the-inside detective in Brooklyn Nine-Nine's precinct. It'd be the perfect blend of Meloni's bad-cop SVU experience and Jack's comedic prowess — except this time, he won't have to throw too many suspects against a wall.

Danny Pudi

Danny Pudi

PAST GIG | Community

NEW GIG | What Cougar Town fan wouldn't drink to the idea of Pudi resurfacing in Florida as a computer whiz who has designs on turning Penny Can into the next great app?

James Van Der Beek

James Van Der Beek

PAST GIG | Friends With Better Lives

NEW GIG | We love Dawson's Creek, but we really love Van Der Beek the funny man, so we think he should continue to stretch his comedy muscles as one of Leslie Knope's new employees on Parks and Recreation.

James Wolk

James Wolk

PAST GIG | The Crazy Ones

NEW GIG | Alicia's charming, roguish, much younger new love interest on The Good Wife. Shirt, optional.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

PAST GIG | Dracula

NEW GIG | A relative of Will's on Hannibal. Although audiences couldn't sink their teeth into Dracula, we'd love to see this smouldering leading man show up as a brother to Mr. Graham.

Josh Holloway and Elizabeth Mitchell

Josh Holloway and Elizabeth Mitchell

PAST GIGS | Intelligence and Revolution

NEW GIG | Anything that reunites the Lost lovers, like a Mad Men guest spot as a California couple that tempts Don and Megan into some partner-swapping. Period costumes, sexy shenanigans and Jon Hamm, what could be better?

Kelly Rowland

Kelly Rowland

PAST GIG | The X Factor

NEW GIG | Her candid, funny, insightful coaching style would make her the perfect replacement for Randy Jackson (assuming that barnacle finally gets detached from the cruiseliner) as American Idol's in-house mentor.

Luke Mitchell

Luke Mitchell

PAST GIG | The Tomorrow People

NEW GIG | Before she got embroiled in a love triangle, we were thinking Hart of Dixie's Lemon could use a new boyfriend. Perhaps Annabeth should get lucky in love with the Aussie actor instead? Or maybe Tomorrow People producer Greg Berlanti can superpower Mitchell into The Flash?

Marcia Gay Harden

Marcia Gay Harden

PAST GIG | Trophy Wife

NEW GIG | A rival DC fixer on Scandal. Given how great a job she did during the Scandal-inspired episode of Trophy Wife, it would be great to see her step in to fill the void left by Olivia now that she's chosen to stand in the sunlight, and eventually go toe-to-toe with her when she inevitably returns.  

Matt Lanter

Matt Lanter

PAST GIG | Star-Crossed

NEW GIG | Surely, Pretty Little Liars could use a few more good men on the Rosewood police force? Lanter's got all the qualifications: a pretty face and a history on The CW.

Michael Ealy

Michael Ealy

PAST GIG | Almost Human

NEW GIG | Jess' latest boyfriend on New Girl. Look into those dreamy peepers and back away in shame, Nick Miller.

Rachael Taylor

Rachael Taylor

PAST GIG | Crisis

NEW GIG | She was a bit of an ice queen as Crisis' stalwart G-woman. So how about taking it to the next level as Once Upon a Time's Queen Elsa?

Rebel Wilson

Rebel Wilson

PAST GIG | Super Fun Night

NEW GIG | A quirky new friend to Jess on New Girl. We only have one requirement: The accent stays.

Robbie Amell

Robbie Amell

PAST GIG | The Tomorrow People

NEW GIG | My, how quickly Arrow's secret son Connor has grown!

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar

PAST GIG | The Crazy Ones

NEW GIG | Emily's sharp-tongued nemesis on Revenge. Because we all know that after Buffy, Cruel Intentions was SMG's best role.

Tim Jo

Tim Jo

PAST GIG | The Neighbors

NEW GIG | An adoring minion of Sheldon's on The Big Bang Theory. The kid practically exudes "sweet geek" from every pore!

TOKS OLAGUNDOYE

Toks Olagundoye

PAST GIG | The Neighbors

NEW GIG | One of Abbie's ancestors on Sleepy Hollow. She's gorgeous, she's gifted at accents and she's proven she's cool with out-there concepts, making her ideal flashback fodder as one of the leftenant's great-great-great-great relatives.

Victoria Smurfit

Victoria Smurfit

PAST GIG | Dracula

NEW GIG | Because doesn't About a Boy's Fiona need a good gal pal to hang around, ogle Will and say inappropriate things within Marcus' earshot?
