Notable Guest Stars:
Paddi Edwards – Anya. I don’t necessarily recognize any of her live action work, but she was the voices of Flotsam and Jetsam from my favorite Disney movie as a kid, The Little Mermaid.
Jaime Hubbard – Salia. Sadly, her career seems to have been fairly short. IMDB lists this as her first appearance, and her last was in 1995. However, it seems she found another calling in life and is a practicing psychotherapist.
Peter Neptune – Aron. Another actor with a short credit list, but a lifetime career in a completely different field. According to Wikipedia, he has become one of only 229 certified Master Sommeliers in the world. Which, having taken wine knowledge courses, I see as a great accomplishment. There is alot to learn (much to my surprise when I took the first one)
Madchen Amick – Young Anya. Ok, I was surprised by this one. I know her mostly from Riverdale as Alice Cooper but also from Gossip Girl.
