7 'Veronica Mars' Actors You See All The Time

by Alanna Bennett

Veronica Mars made its debut over a decade ago, and made its mark long after cancellation with a historic Kickstarter campaign that helped Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell revisit Neptune with a film. But Veronica Mars has left a mark in more ways than one. Kristen Bell may be a Disney princess, but it seems the rest of the Veronica Mars cast is everywhere, as well, albeit often in less flashy ways. In fact, this is one of those TV casts that sticks with you — in part because any Veronica Mars fan can hardly watch a TV show or go to the movies these days without quietly wondering "...was that person in Veronica Mars ?"

It's safe to usually go with a solid "yes" in this case. We've already gone over the truly impressive list of guest stars who graced our screens, mostly before they were household names, but Veronica Mars has just as many ubiquitous faces who haven't (yet) had their names memorized by the masses; their recurring characters have sent many people straight to IMDb upon vague facial recognition. They might be household names someday, but for now, they're still doing good work, from Selma to Jane The Virgin . So here are some of the actors whose faces you may be recognizing as they crop up everywhere we go.
