It's understandable that long-running shows that both started in the 2000s had some overlaps in their actors' pools: you need quite a lot of extras to keep the story fresh.

So we cross-referenced actors from two of the hits of this era, Smallville and Supernatural, and, surprisingly, found 10 matches.

One of the reasons that these shows share some cast is that they both were running at the same time and on the same network, so the actors were not just readily available, but familiar to the execs and the showrunners.

But truly, these two series are quite different, and actors who were capable of starring in both of them show great range and prove their skills. From being some hellspawns and demons to becoming super-powered aliens or mere humans that have to deal with them, these actors really added spice to both of these shows, making them feel fresh in their long runs and allowing the plots to become more and more sophisticated.

Their inclusion helped shape the characterization of the main cast, made us love the shows even more than we did before, and we salute them for that. They made our childhood and teen years more entertaining.
