Summary

• The cast of Farscape has had varying levels of visibility in recent years, with some actors landing high-profile roles in big franchises and others pursuing endeavors outside of acting.
• Wayne Pygram, who played Scorpius, had notable roles in Star Wars Episode III and Lost, but his acting roles in recent years have been sparse.
• Tammy MacIntosh, who played Jool, has enjoyed a successful career after Farscape, with appearances in shows like All Saints, Sea Patrol, and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.

The Farscape saga ended in 2004, leaving those who followed the show to wonder what happened to the cast of Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars after it was concluded. Farscape is widely heralded as one of the TV sci-fi classics and one of the most influential TV shows from the 2000s when it comes to the space opera genre. A remastered version of the show landed on Prime in 2019. However, some of the Farscape actors have been more visible than others in recent years. While some have appeared in some of the world's biggest franchises, others have moved on to endeavors other than acting.

Certain cast members have unfortunately passed away but will be fondly remembered by fans for the portrayal of their Farscape characters. Other actors in the show were so heavily covered in prosthetics or costumes that viewers may not even have recognized them if they'd seen them elsewhere. However, most of the cast of Moya's crew has been working steadily within the industry since the end of Farscape, despite the rumored Farscape movie seemingly falling through.

12 Wayne Pygram as Scorpius

He Played The Part Of The Villain Well

Pygram returned to his previous show, Home and Away, following the conclusion of Farscape. Since then, he's also landed two high-profile, one-off roles. In 2005, he appeared briefly in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith as Grand Moff Tarkin. He was transformed with prosthetics to give him an appearance closer to that of Peter Cushing, the actor who originated the role in the original trilogy. In 2008, Pygram appeared in an episode of Lost. Acting roles Pygram in recent years have been sparse, but in 2022, he voiced a character in the video game High on Life.

11 Anthony Simcoe as Ka D'Argo

The Towering Luxan

Despite his success in Farscape, Simcoe's appearances in the industry have been few and far between since the show's conclusion. However, his profile did allow him to enjoy a stint in a band called Signal Room, where his fellow Farscape castmate, Wayne Paygram (Scorpous) joined the lineup behind the drum kit. Simcoe's last credited acting appearance was in the British comedy film, The Inbetweeners 2.

10 Rebecca Riggs as Grayza

Her On-Screen Work Since The Show Is Minimal

Despite Grayza playing a major part in Farscape from season 3 and onward, Riggs has only a handful of acting credits since the show ended. However, one of these was alongside Farscape colleague Melissa Jaffer in an episode of All Saints in 2005. While her next on-screen appearance wasn't until 2019, Riggs continued to work in live theater.

9 Paul Goddard as Stark

He Entered Near The End Of Season 1

Goddard appeared in some very big properties before Farscape, with credits in franchises such as The Matrix and Power Rangers. However, none of those roles were as significant as that of Farscape's Stark. Although he has continued to work as an actor, nothing has ever come along to rival his success in Farscape.

8 Jonathon Hardy as Dominar Rygel XVI

The Deposed Emperor

Hardy never appeared on-screen, as his role in Farscape was a voice performance. His casting as Rygel led to the abrasive Hynerian becoming a fan favorite, despite the character's intentional cantankerousness. Unfortunately, Rygel was one of Hardy's final roles before his passing in 2012.

7 Tammy MacIntosh as Jool

She's Had A Lot Of Success

MacIntosh first appeared in Farscape as Jool during the show's season second. Once Farscape had run its course, MacIntosh returned to her role in the Australian medical drama, All Saints, in which she totaled almost 300 appearances. She's also had lengthy stays on other shows, such as Sea Patrol, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, and Wentworth. MacInstosh's clear knack for longevity has enabled her to sustain a fruitful acting career after Farscape.

6 Melissa Jaffer as Utu-Noranti Pralatong

She Took A Break After Farscape

When Farscape ended, Jaffer stepped back from screen work. When she returned in 2012, she did so with renewed vigor and landed some notable roles. Her most prominent of these was her casting as Keeper of the Seeds in 2015's Max Max: Fury Road. In 2022, she appeared alongside Idris Alba and Tilda Swinton in Three Thousand Years of Longing.

Like fellow Australian Gigi Edgly, Melissa Jaffer also appeared in one of the BlackJack films.

5 Virginia Hey as Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan

This Was Her Seminal Role

Like other members of the Farscape cast, Hey's acting credits start to dry up in the years after the show ended. In 2014, she landed a voice role in a 2014 episode of Rick & Morty. Although her last acting role was back in 2015, she is slated to star in an upcoming film called Gracemarch, which has been adapted from a novel of the same name.

4 Gigi Edgly as Chiana

She Became Part Of The BlackJack Franchise

After Farscape, Edgly landed the role of Liz Kempson in the Australian film series, BlackJack. She starred in four installments of the BlackJack franchise. Edgly's filmography has been sporadic yet steady since then. An interesting highlight is her appearance in 2022's High on Life, the same video game in which her former Farscape colleague, Wayne Pygram was cast.

3 Lani Tupu as Bailar Crais

He Also Voiced Pilot Moya's Navigator

Tupu's filmography since his departure from Farscape is one of the most consistent, with no more than two years between castings. His most prominent appearance was in season 4 of Preacher, a show adapted from a Garth Ennis comic book and developed by Seth Rogen, among others. Tupu's voice work as Moya's pilot in Farscape also served him well for future endeavors, as he appeared in a 2023 podcast series called Shadows at the Door.

2 Claudia Black as Aeryn Sun

Moya's Resident Sebacean

As well as moving on to make many appearances in the Stargate franchise, Black continued to receive roles in both films and television. However, the bulk of her work involved a transition into voice acting. As well as landing roles in shows like Rick & Morty and Final Space, Black has also lent her voice to many characters in the video game industry. Her distinctive Australian accent can be heard in the Mass Effect trilogy, as well as giving life to Uncharted's Chloe Frazer. Her most recent high-profile role was as the Nightsister Klothow in Ahsoka.

1 Ben Browder as John Crichton

Farscape's Lead Protagonist

When Farscape reached its conclusion, Browder immediately secured a role in another sci-fi franchise. His role in Stargate was a prominent one, appearing in a great number of episodes as Cameron Mitchell, as well as two feature films. After that, Browder took mostly smaller, one-off roles. However, among his credits are Doctor Who, CSI, Arrow, and Criminal Minds. Browder also cameos in Guardians of the Galaxy, appearing in the franchise's second installment. Still in the industry, the Farscape star continues to receive acting credits.

Farscape is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
