It’s a sad day when a beloved TV show is cancelled but fortunately, we don’t have to say goodbye to the performers who brought the series’ characters to life. Check out what some of your favorite stars are doing these days…

Multi-Emmy Award-winning actor Hal Holbrook (Evening Shade) will be making a guest appearance on NBC’s ER on April 24th. He’ll be playing a terminal cancer patient named Walter Perkins who, despite his illness, remains upbeat and funny and impacts the life of Dr. Kovac (Goran Visnjic).

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (3rd Rock from the Sun) has been signed to star opposite Zooey Deschanel in 500 Days of Summer. The movie tells the story of a young woman who doesn’t believe in love and the young man that falls for her.
Amy Smart (Smith) will play the lead in a CBS pilot from Glenn Gordon Caron (Moonlighting) called Meant to Be’s.

Later this season, look for Gerald McRaney (Jericho) to play Angie Harmon’s father on ABC’s Women’s Murder Club.
