15 actors and actresses you may find hard to recognize today
After watching a classic TV show for years, actors' faces become etched in our memory forever. But whilst their characters remain the same, the people who played them can't avoid the passage of time - to the point where we'd have a hard time recognizing some of these household names.
We've put together a list of 15 actors and actresses from long-running series - how many would you recognize today?
1. Tom Selleck -- Magnum in Magnum

Tom Selleck burst back on to our screens with CBS's 'Blue Bloods', after having gone off radar during his post-Magnum days. That said he hasn't changed much, despite his advancing years, partly thanks to his trademark moustache and smoldering eyes!
2. Tom Welling -- Clark Kent in Smallville
A few more gray hairs, but still a good-looking dude!
3. Allison Mack -- Chloe Sullivan in Smallville
She's changed the color of her hair, but the cheeky grin's just as recognizable as during her Smallville years. She's made a few movies and TV shows since she left Clark Kent's side, but has yet to repeat the success she had in the Superman spin-off.
4. Michael Rosenbaum -- Lex Luthor in Smallville
Michael shaved his head to play the role of Lex, making it harder to recognize him today. Career-wise, he's continues to act both on the small and big screen.
5. Kristin Kreuk -- Lana Lang in Smallville
The hair's changed, but this Canadian actress is definitely growing old gracefully, as she's even more beautiful today than she was in Smallville.
6. Vanessa Angel -- Lisa in Weird Science

There's definitely no weird science going on here - apart from a few more wrinkles, Vanessa looks pretty much the same.
7. Mia Talerico -- Charlie in Good Luck Charlie

.Mia's no longer recognizable, seeing how much she's grown up, but she's still a cutie.
8. Maggie Wheeler -- Janice in Friends

Her laugh's still ringing in our ears, but Maggie hasn't changed that much seeing as she's now 55 years old. She's continued to act since Friends ended. Click here to see how much her Friends co-stars have changed since our favorite sitcom went off the air.
9. Nate Richert -- Harvey in Sabrina, the Teenage Witch

The prettiest girl in school has kept her striking looks, although she's since gone blonde.

The spiky hair and moustache make it hard to recognize our favorite Austrian inspector
