What The Cast Of Weeds Looks Like Today

Weeds earned many fans throughout its eight-season run thanks to its frank take on the marijuana industry. Viewers were able to follow Mary-Louise Parker's Nancy Botwin as she transformed from grieving widow to drug kingpin, resulting in misadventures and wild plotlines as she traveled from Agrestic to Ren Mar to Mexico to Washington to New York City (and everywhere in between). 

The series earned critical acclaim throughout its run, and, although it definitely had its low points, the show's highs far outweighed its lesser moments. The show also helped to launch the career of Jenji Kohan, who would later go on to become well known for creating the Netflix original series Orange is the New Black. 

Its cast, though, have had the most visible journeys since the show ended, moving on to impressive (and often unexpected) roles in film, television, and theater. Here is where the cast of Weeds looks like today.

Hunter Parrish played Nancy's older son Silas on Weeds, but, during the show, he was also building a name for himself off-screen in the theater world. Parrish joined Broadway's Spring Awakening in 2008 in the lead role of Melchior. He later went on to originate the role of Jesus in the 2011 Godspell revival.

Parrish has had some impressive roles in film and television as well. He booked a recurring role on the CBS drama The Good Wife in 2013 before appearing in the Oscar-winning film Still Alice in 2014. The next year, he appeared in the TV series The Following and Hand of God and led the romance A Rising Tide.

In 2015, Parrish booked a starring role on the Amazon series Good Girls Revolt. Despite receiving mostly positive critical reception, the show was canceled after one season, and revival efforts faltered. Parrish bounced back quickly, though, landing a recurring role on the buzzy ABC FBI drama Quantico. 

Parrish also has a part in Syfy's attempted Tremors reboot, playing a role that should be very familiar to him from his work on Weeds: "the young, magnetic leader of the pot-growing, earth-worshipping tribe of Millenials" (via Deadline). Outside of acting, Parrish has been busy in his personal life as well, marrying his longtime girlfriend Kathryn Wahl, whom he'd met when she was a personal assistant on the set of Weeds, in 2015.

Kevin Nealon was one of the most famous cast members when he signed on to play the town free spirit Doug on Weeds. The former Saturday Night Live cast member had been appearing in big screen comedies for years, including Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, Little Nicky, and Anger Management. During Weeds' run, he also led the Nickelodeon animated series Glenn Martin DDS, voicing the lead character. 

Considering his already extensive resume and his impressive work on Weeds, it makes sense that Nealon has continued to land roles in Hollywood over the years. His credits include guest starring appearances on Drunk History, The League, Comedy Bang! Bang!, The Soul Man, and Idiots. He has also starred in the big screen comedies Blended, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, and Sandy Wexler. He is probably best known, though, for starring opposite former Friends star Matt LeBlanc in the CBS sitcom Man With a Plan.

Nancy Botwin may have been the star of Weeds, but her best friend/worst enemy Celia came close to stealing her crown on multiple occasions. Elizabeth Perkins, who played Celia to perfection throughout the show's first five seasons, earned two Golden Globe nominations and three Emmy nominations for her efforts, although she tragically never took home an award.

Perkins' charisma and talent made it easy for her to land roles after she left the show, and, after a guest appearance on The Closer, she was snapped up to lead the ABC sitcom How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life). Unfortunately, the show struggled with ratings and was canceled after just one season. Perkins bounced back with guest appearances on How to Get Away with Murder and One Child, as well as a role in 2016's Ghostbusters reboot.

Perkins has continued to pop up in top TV shows, guest starring on Netflix's GLOW and HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm. She also played Rebecca's (Mandy Moore) mother Janet on NBC's hit drama series This Is Us. You can next spot Perkins acting opposite Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson in HBO's upcoming drama series Sharp Objects, based on the novel of the same name from Gone Girl's Gillian Flynn.

Allie Grant played Celia and Dean's daughter Isabelle throughout Weeds' earlier seasons, with the role marking one of the young actresses' earliest parts after guest starring arcs on That's So Raven and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Although Isabelle left the show alongside her mother after the series' fifth season, Grant was still able to earn a Young Artist Award nomination and two Screen Actors Guild ensemble nominations for her role.

After Weeds, Grant booked a guest starring role on Private Practice before signing on to the ABC sitcom Suburgatory. She appeared throughout the show's three seasons as Lisa Shay, the awkward best friend of Jane Levy's Tessa. After the show's run ended, she made appearances on Red Band Society, Zombie Basement, and Grey's Anatomy. She also has a recurring guest role on ABC's The Goldbergs.

Grant got more attention for her appearance in the 2015 short film The Red Thunder, which earned her the Best Actress prize at the Lionshead Film Festival and 30 Dies Festival. She also later booked a role on the Hulu series All Night, due out in 2018. 

Romany Malco's Conrad was a regular fixture of Weeds' earlier seasons, and although he started appearing less once Nancy left Agrestic, he was still a memorable fixture of the show and an important part of Nancy's journey. Malco's talent allowed him to appear in quite a few other TV shows and films during and after Weeds' run.

While the show was on the air, Malco appeared in some memorable big screen comedies, including The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Blades of Glory, Baby Mama, and Think Like a Man. He was also a regular on the short-lived ABC superhero series No Ordinary Family and had a recurring role on the CBS procedural The Good Wife.

Once he permanently wrapped his run on the show, Malco continued to make appearances in theaters, starring in Last Vegas, Think Like a Man Too, The Duff, and Almost Christmas. He also made even more inroads on the small screen, guest starring on The Real Husbands of Hollywood and Key and Peele. He was also a regular on the Amazon Prime series Mad Dogs, which was canceled after one season. 

More recently, he appeared in Patrick Stewart's Starz sitcom Blunt Talk, which was canceled after two seasons, and signed on to the ABC drama pilot A Million Little Things. He also has a part in the Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart comedy Night School and is set to lead the comedy Prison Logic, which he wrote and directed.

Demián Bichir played Esteban Reyes, drug kingpin-turned-Nancy Botwin's husband, throughout Weeds' fifth and sixth seasons. The actor earned his first ALMA Award nomination for his efforts, and he would later go on to earn two more for his appearances in the 2011 romantic drama A Better Life and the 2012 crime film Savages. A Better Life, Bichir's first role after he finished up his run on Weeds, also earned the actor his first Oscar nomination, though he unfortunately lost out to Jean Dujardin for his performance in The Artist. 

Bichir built off that Oscar nom and started a successful career on the big screen. In 2013, he starred opposite Sandra Bullock in the cop caper comedy The Heat, while later that year he appeared in the big screen action adventure Machete Kills. He also led the FX series The Bridge, alongside Diane Kruger. The series ran for two seasons before being canceled.

Bichir, though, bounced back quickly, landing a part in Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight opposite another former Weeds star: Jennifer Jason Leigh. He also had a role in the 2017 sci-fi blockbuster Alien: Covenant, although his character met a pretty gruesome fate. Bichir is set to venture into horror over the next few years, with appearances in the Conjuring spin-off The Nun and the planned The Grudge reboot.
