Melissa McCarthy's career has taken off since she played lovable chef Sookie St. James on "Gilmore Girls." From her underrated roles in "Samantha Who?" and "Life as We Know It" to her scene-stealing performance in "Bridesmaids," the "Mike & Molly" star never fails to make us laugh. "Identity Thief" -- in theaters Friday -- looks to be no exception.
After "Gilmore Girls' " seventh and final season came to a close in 2007, Lauren Graham, who played Lorelai Gilmore, appeared in movies such as 2010's "It's Kind of a Funny Story." That same year, Graham began starring on NBC's "Parenthood" as another loving single mom.
Alexis Bledel reprised her role as Lena in 2008's "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." Since playing Rory on "Gilmore Girls," she's also starred in films like "Post Grad" and "The Kate Logan Affair." She recently guest-starred on "Mad Men" as Beth Dawes.
After playing Dean Forester, Rory's first boyfriend, Jared Padalecki went on to star in films like "Friday the 13th" and TV shows like "Supernatural," which is in the midst of its eighth season.
Since playing Lane Kim, Keiko Agena has appeared on "Private Practice," "Castle," "Scandal" and other popular series.
Kelly Bishop, who played Emily Gilmore, is currently back on TV as "Bunheads' " Fanny Flowers, the owner of the Paradise Dance Academy. The ABC Family series is executive produced by "Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino.
After Richard Gilmore, Edward Herrmann showed up on shows such as "30 Rock" and "The Good Wife." He also appeared in movies like 2009's "The Six Wives of Henry Lefay" and 2011's "Son of Morning."
Yanic Truesdale hasn't done much in show business since his days at the Independence Inn as Michel Gerard. He's since appeared in Canadian series like "Rumeurs" and "Mauvais Karma."
Liza Weil has appeared on "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" after her turn as Paris Geller. She's recently played the recurring Amanda Tanner on "Scandal" and Milly Stone on "Bunheads."
After leaving his Stars Hollow diner behind, Scott Patterson, who played Luke Danes on the series, went on to appear in the short-lived series "Aliens in America" and "The Event." He's also shown up in some of the "Saw" movies and a few episodes of "90210."
Milo Ventimiglia played another of Rory's loves, Jess Mariano, on the series. The actor has since played Peter Petrelli on "Heroes" and appeared in films such as "That's My Boy." He'll next appear in "Grown Ups 2" and "Grace of Monaco."
