Actors James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter both played key roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer only to cross paths later on Supernatural. It's not totally surprising given that this show likes to take actors from previous shows of the same genre.

The great thing about Supernatural is that it can introduce so many cameo roles in its episodes, so we get to see some of our favorite actors appear in these other roles – and it's so good at what it does!
