What the 'Halloweentown' Cast Looks Like 26 Years Later

Did you know that Kimberly J. Brown was just barely a teenager when she first starred as Marnie Piper? She had just turned 13 when she got the role, with a very minimal acting resume behind her back. Before Halloweentown, you might have seen her in projects like The Baby-Sitter's Club.

After the success of Halloweentown, Kimberly had roles in movies like Be Cool, Bringing Down the House, and My Sister’s Keeper, but she has since decided to lay low from the acting scene. Nowadays, Kimberly is a college graduate who uses her business degree to work on Craftily Creative, an Etsy shop specializing in Halloweentown-esque merch.

Halloweentown was far from Judith's first movie gig. In fact, she was already well into her career, with her most credible role in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, starring as April O'Neil. But if you were keen on '90s television, then you also knew her in the shows The Magicians, Nashville, and Big Love.

Back to television she went! After Halloweentown, Judith returned to her roots, guest starring in hit series like Grey’s Anatomy and CSI: New York. But if you really want to know what she's up to now, just peek at her social pages, specifically Instagram! She's always posting some funny clips and keeping her fans updated on whatever project she's working on.

He may have been young when he began his role in Halloweentown, but Joey was ringing in a bunch of acting credits beforehand! Earth 2, CBS Schoolbreak Special (and more!), making him one of the more noteworthy child actors at the time.

Emily was the youngest kid in the Halloweentown cast, but even she had some previous acting experience. Her first film was actually Fell's Redeemer, where she played a young girl named Alicia.

This almost goes without saying, but Debbie already had a long list of acclaimed roles before co-starring in the Disney original. The Oscar-nominated actress made a name for herself with films such as Singin' in the Rain and The Unsinkable Molly Brown. She was also a mother of two, including Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher.

Debbie's career continued into her later years, with roles in Behind the Candelabra, One for the Money, and more. She died on December 28, 2016, just one day after her daughter, Carrie Fisher, passed away.

When Halloweentown premiered, Robin was one of the most recognizable faces in the cast (aside from Debbie Reynolds). Before playing Kalabar, an evil warlock, ex-boyfriend of Gwen Piper, and the main antagonist of the film, he had recurring roles on shows like Party of Five, Murphy Brown, Who's the Boss?, and Matlock.

Once Kalabar was defeated and Halloweentown saved, Robin went on to continue his work in television. He had recurring roles on shows such as Queer as Folk, Life Unexpected, Switched at Birth, and 90210. More recently, he can be recognized in Law & Order True Crime as well as Graham on Mystery 101.

JAG and Boston Public are just a couple of the shows Daniel Kountz appeared in before joining the cast of Halloweentown 2: Kalabar's Revenge.

Daniel still acts from time to time, with roles in TV shows like Mad Men and United States of Tara. But more importantly, he got married to his Halloweentown II costar, Kimberly! The two officially tied the knot earlier this year, on April 19, 2024. We're not fangirling or anything.

Fun fact: Halloweentown High was Finn's first starring role. He first came onto the acting scene with guest roles in ER and Cold Case.

Finn's acting career has soared since his time in the Disney movie franchise. He has two Emmy nominations under his belt for his many roles in FX's American Horror Story. It looks like the actor is only in the middle of his career, so we can expect to see him on our screens more in the future, including in the upcoming October 2024 Netflix thriller Don't Move.

Fans were probably a little confused when Kimberly didn't return to reprise her role as Marnie for the final film in the franchise, Return to Halloweentown. But Sara did a dang good job as her replacement! Before that, she too made an appearance in Disney's Lizzie McGuire. But she was best known for her leading role in Aquamarine, everyone's favorite mermaid flick.

Sara's acting resume has grown since her performance in the final Halloweentown flick. She's had roles in Sydney White, Lovestruck: The Musical, and Superhero Movie. You also might recognize her from an appearance on This Is Us. More recently, she starred in Blonde, alongside Ana de Armas who played Marilyn Monroe.
