YOUR FAVORITE MTV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

8 Times The Cast Of 'Daria' Showed Up On Your TV And You Didn’t Know It

Some of the actors in "Daria" are still a part of the biz today, and they show up in places you wouldn't expect.

The world of voice acting is a magical, magical place, because unlike almost any other type of performance, you can play literally any character you can think of regardless of whether or not you actually look like them. For example, The voice of Spongebob is not played by an actual sponge -- he's a real live man named Tom Kenny, and he exists in the world and everything.

So what about the cast of the hit '90s TV show "Daria?" After all, they were so perfectly suited to their roles that it's hard to remember there isn't a real life Daria and Jane crossing their arms and judging everyone (I mean, there is because now we are all Daria, but that's besides the point). Some of the cast, like Daria herself, Tracy Grandstaff, have moved on and found success in other ways -- but others are still working their magic on TV, in movies and in video games, both on and off-camera. Here are some notable examples:

So, the opposite of chill. She also played Fashion Club member Tiffany Blum-Decker, and was nominated for a Grammy once with her band, The Jimmies. Also, she's really good at shuffleboarding. Like, really good. Seriously, she's globally ranked.

Over the course of the show, Mack was played by four different actors, including Amir Williams, Paul Williams and Delon Ferdinand.

On "Elementary," you saw...

Jane Lane!

And also Quinn Morgendorffer and Helen Morgendorffer, too. Basically every important female figure in Daria's life was played by a single person. And Hoopes has been in a lot of TV shows and movies since then, too -- she also played Mona Sax in the "Max Payne" video game series
