What The Cast Of Bones Looks Like Today

Fox found long-term success with “Bones” by blending elements of “Moonlighting” and “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.” The show’s intriguing crime scenes, mind-boggling mysteries, and chilling criminal activities kept viewers engaged, but the complex relationship between Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), filled with will-they-or-won’t-they tension, was a significant draw that brought audiences back year after year.

Viewers were eventually richly rewarded, as the pair shared a kiss, dated, became a couple, got married, and had children. By the time the last episode arrived, Bones and Booth were in a blissful, committed relationship, and the series concluded by leaving them contented. Without a doubt, this show is worth watching multiple times; given all the hardships they faced, a happy ending was the least they deserved, as many viewers believed.

In 2017, the final episode of “Bones” was broadcasted. Since then, over nine years have gone by, leaving fans curious about where the cast members are today and how the show’s principal actors appear now. Don’t worry, as we’ve compiled updates on all major actors, their post-“Bones” activities, and what they look like a decade after wrapping up cases at the Jeffersonian.

Emily Deschanel (Temperance Brennan)

Emily Deschanel continues to balance her role as Temperance Brennan with exploration across diverse genres. Following the end of “Bones”, she featured on “Animal Kingdom” for twelve episodes as Angela, made appearances on “Drunk History” portraying multiple characters and had a stint on “The Rookie” as Sarah Nolan. At present, she is starring in the dramatic podcast “Agent Stoker” as Rose. She has also been seen in independent films such as “Big Boys” and “Continue”, and was part of the cast in Netflix’s miniseries “The Devil in Ohio.

Deschanel has undeniably maintained her connection to the TV show “Bones” – she and David Boreanaz have started attending conventions together where they sign autographs and take photos with fans. Additionally, she co-hosts a podcast called “Boneheads” about rewatching “Bones” episodes along with fellow cast member Carla Gallo. When not engaged in her acting commitments, Deschanel is deeply involved in animal rights advocacy; she’s a vegan and contributes to Farm Sanctuary, an organization dedicated to animal rescue.

David Boreanaz (Seeley Booth)

After wrapping up my long-running stint as Dr. Temperance Brennan on “Bones,” I dived headfirst into another exciting project, joining CBS’s (and later Paramount+) “SEAL Team” for seven seasons, portraying Jason Hayes. Over the past 25 years, you can find me in various roles, starting with “Angel,” then “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and of course, “Bones” and “SEAL Team.” While I didn’t stick to a single role for an uninterrupted stretch of 25 years, my television career has been as consistent as ever. Following the end of “SEAL Team” in 2024, I took some time off from acting to recharge my batteries and spend more quality time with family and fans. Mostly, you can catch me at conventions these days and keeping busy with Instagram posts.

Besides his acting career, Boreanaz is also known for his charitable work and good deeds. He has traveled abroad with the USO and has taken on at least one challenge for St. Jude’s Research Hospital. However, when asked about his future plans by DelcoToday, he remained secretive, stating, “As for my next project, I can’t discuss that just yet.” Fans will likely learn more once he decides on his next venture.

Michaela Conlin (Angela Montenegro)

Michaela Conlin has moved between large-scale productions and smaller projects since her series “Bones” concluded, leaving an indelible mark on numerous shows. Although she is most recognized as the vibrant Angela Montenegro, she’s portrayed characters ranging from enchanting sirens to devout saints since the show’s end. Following her role as Sharon Chen in three episodes of “Here and Now,” she starred as Sarah Nguyen, a journalist who suffers a tragic fate at the hands of Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), over six episodes of “Yellowstone.

Conlin frequently appeared as Helena Webster in eight episodes of “For All Mankind” and Delphine in two episodes of “Dollface.” On the silver screen, she graced films such as “One True Love,” “Junction,” and “Bad Trip.” She’s also made a special appearance on Boneheads, and she lends her support to Together Housed, an organization committed to helping homeless women in Los Angeles find housing. Despite having a quiet social media presence, she occasionally resurfaces on Instagram and other platforms during pilot season.

T.J. Thyne (Jack Hodgins)

After the conclusion of “Bones”, T.J. Thyne has proven himself to be a versatile actor. While Jack Hodgins may have stirred Angela’s feelings, he is merely one role in Thyne’s extensive acting repertoire; since 2017, he has taken on diverse characters ranging from swindlers to high-powered executives.

Thyne made a one-time appearance as Dr. Joshua Hensley on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, and had recurring roles on “Grey’s Anatomy” and “NCIS”. He’s also been seen in episodes of “Chicago Med”, “High Potential”, “The Rookie”, and “American Crime Story”. His most notable recurring role was as Fletcher Voss, the obnoxious tech bro, on “NCIS” for three episodes. Thyne also played Gordon Willis in the Paramount+ miniseries about the creation of “The Godfather”, titled “The Offer”. Additionally, he’s ventured into voice acting, lending his voice to two video games: “Lego Horizon Adventures” and “Horizon Forbidden West”. To sum it up, Thyne has built an impressive resume that could make Temperance Brennan green with envy.

Tamara Taylor (Camille Saroyan)

In simpler terms, during the show “Bones”, Tamara Taylor’s character Camille Saroyan assisted Temperance (probably referring to Temperance Brennan) in the field, specifically with tasks such as recovering bodies and conducting autopsies. Since the end of “Bones”, Taylor has found success in various notable roles across science fiction and dramatic productions, making her a reliable choice for such projects.

In the realms of superheroes and science fiction, she starred as Sibyl in five episodes of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”, appeared as Deloris in the brief run of Netflix series “October Faction”, and portrayed Oumou in “Altered Carbon”. Her roles as Sibyl and Deloris enhanced her ties with comic book-based projects, as she had previously given voice to Wonder Woman in several direct-to-DVD “Justice League” films.

In a more dynamic context, she consistently played key characters: Angela Wheatley for two seasons on “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” followed by five episodes as Cassandra Turner in “Snowfall.” Additionally, she showcased her talent in movies like “A Cold Hard Truth” and “Diary of a Spy.” Without a doubt, her career is burning brightly.

Patricia Belcher (Caroline Julian)

As a gamer, I can say that Caroline Julian serves as the government’s influence in the lives of Bones and Brennan. She’s a vibrant federal prosecutor from the US Attorney’s office, who has a soft spot for sweets, but don’t let that fool you. She’s got a hard exterior and can be as firm as iron-gloved when it comes to handling her cases. If she calls me “cher” or “cherie,” I know I’ve made it on her friend list, and she stands by her friends without fail.

Of all of the actors working on “Bones,” journeywoman Patricia Belcher has worked on the widest variety of projects since the show ended, beginning with immediately landing a supporting part in the sitcom “Trial and Error.” Though that series was short-lived, she soon moved on to “Teachers,” where she played Mavis for nine episodes. She’s also appeared in a number of guest-starring roles, including parts in “Mom,” “The Neighborhood,” “The Rookie,” “Lucifer,” “Code Black,” “Young Sheldon,” and the “Will and Grace” revival. She played Celia in “The Villains of Valley View” and recently began recurring as Mrs. Belvin in “Matlock.” With big screen credits including “Father Stu” and a voice acting career that includes the part of Principal Hightower in “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,” she’s an actor in high demand.

Michael Grant Terry (Wendall Bray)

Michael Grant Terry has skillfully merged his acting profession with a career in producing, a decision that often benefits him as he frequently appears in the productions he helps create. Primarily, he has focused on offering assistance to podcasts such as “SmartLess,” which stars Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, and “How to Destroy Everything,” where he lends his voice to the character Gary. His Hazy Mills production company was also behind the 2020 and 2021 installments of the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards.

Since the end of “Bones”, Terry’s acting career has been moving forward steadily, although he hasn’t secured a permanent role in another series yet. You can see him in shows such as “Roswell, New Mexico”, “Station 19”, and “Keith Vs.” He also made an appearance in the TV movie “Mistletoe in Montana”. Despite his busy schedule with producing tasks, he’s still contributing to different projects, including his podcast.

John Francis Daley (Lance Sweets)

To fans of the TV series “Bones”, John Francis Daley will forever be cherished as Dr. Lance Sweets, a character whose emotional exit in one of the show’s top episodes still resonates deeply with viewers. In the realm of Hollywood, Daley has made a significant impact, transitioning from on-screen talent to a powerful force behind the scenes. His resume includes successful productions such as “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” and “Hysteria!” on Peacock. Moreover, he’s gained respect as a writer with notable works including “Horrible Bosses”, its sequel, “Vacation”, “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, “Vacation Friends” and its sequel, and “Dungeons & Dragons”.

Since the end of “Bones”, Daley’s acting roles have become less frequent. He has taken part in various projects, often as a producer or co-producer. For instance, he played Ernest in “Dudebro Party Massacre II”, had guest appearances on “Drunk History” and “Fresh Off the Boat”, made cameos in “Vacation”, lent his voice to “Dungeons and Dragons”, and starred as Carter in “Game Night”. Additionally, he voices multiple characters in “Bottom’s Butte”. For now, it appears that his focus is on writing and producing. It remains to be seen if he will return to acting in the future.

Eric Millegan (Zack Addy)

Eric Millegan, with his youthful appearance, portrayed an endearing and awkward character as Zack Addy in “Bones.” Despite his young age, Zack was exceptionally intelligent, and his awkward personality, coupled with his brilliant mind, resonated with viewers as he evolved into Temperance’s trusted associate. Although Zack was falsely accused of murder, he eventually cleared his name and transitioned to a successful new career with Temperance’s help. Much like his character, Millegan has taken a break from acting; since “Bones” ended, he hasn’t been seen in any other television or film projects. Instead, following the public announcement of his bipolar disorder diagnosis in 2010, Millegan has become an advocate for mental health issues and frequently speaks on the topic.

Millegan keeps a vibrant profile on Instagram and recently re-entered community theater. In 2025, he will be directing a summer performance of “Guys and Dolls” in Anacortes, Washington. Prior to his role in “Bones,” Millegan had extensive experience in theatrical productions, having worked on both regional and Broadway shows such as “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Hair,” the pre-Broadway version of “Spring Awakening,” and “Harold and Maude.

John Boyd (James Aubrey)

FBI Special Agent James Aubrey found himself in an awkward situation from the get-go, as he joined the series as a replacement for the widely adored character Lance Sweets following his death. However, viewers eventually warmed up to Aubrey’s more somber demeanor and managed to build a fanbase of their own over time. Similar to David Boreanaz, John Boyd swiftly moved on to another successful drama when “Bones” came to an end. He has been portraying Stuart Scola in “FBI” since the franchise began in 2019, with his role spanning appearances on the recently canceled “FBI: Most Wanted” and “FBI: International.” Prior to landing the part of Stuart, Boyd had roles in the action movie “Peppermint,” the family drama “Wonderstruck,” and he played Lamont in Ben Affleck’s “Argo.

John is the son of character actor Guy Boyd, who starred as Aubrey’s estranged father on “Bones.” Additionally, John has worked alongside his father on that show. Besides his role on “FBI,” Guy frequently updates his followers about personal milestones, including his growing musical endeavors, through Instagram.

Eugene Byrd (Clark Edison)

Eugene Byrd has seen a significant rise in his acting career after donning Clark Edison’s finely tailored lab coat. He’s built an impeccable career as a voiceover artist, all while keeping up with his character acting roles, resulting in a versatile resume that is truly remarkable. In live-action productions, Byrd has contributed to “Kings,” “A Million Little Pieces,” and more. He played CJ Cooke in “Reasonable Doubt” and Sam in “The Secrets of Sulphur Springs.” For five episodes, he portrayed Dr. Daemon Spears on “All American,” and he has made guest appearances on “Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “9-1-1: Lone Star,” “Bookie,” and “Baby Shark’s Big Show!”

In this version, I aimed to maintain the original tone while simplifying some of the more complex sentence structures and using clearer language for easier understanding.

In the realm of voice acting, Byrd is particularly renowned for his role as Eli in the “Saint’s Row” game series, and has lent his voice to games such as “Avowed” and “Gears 5”. However, it’s the world of animation where Byrd truly excels. He portrayed Zander in “LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures”, was Principal O’Connor in “The Ghost and Molly McGee”, voiced Jeff Morales in “Spidey and His Amazing Friends”, and gave life to Lonnie Lincoln in “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man”. Byrd is also an avid photographer, often sharing his captured moments on Instagram.

Carla Gallo (Daisy Wick)

Carla Gallo’s tenure as the charming and adored character Daisy Wick solidified her status as an actor capable of delivering both dramatic depth and comedic flair. A significant milestone in her career occurred during her final years on “Bones,” where she portrayed Paula in the “Neighbors” movie series. Notably, she’s only recently been revisiting the comedy realm following a period dominated by drama work post-“Bones.” After the conclusion of “Bones,” Gallo featured in independent films like “A Stupid and Futile Gesture” and “Four Good Days.” On the small screen, she made appearances on shows such as “Sneaky Pete,” “Future Man,” and “9-1-1: Lone Star,” typically in guest roles.

In “Mayans M.C.”, Gallo played the role of Melissa Lydecker, an ATF agent, for three episodes before moving on to star as Kate in Apple TV+’s comedy series “Platonic”. The series, which revolves around Sylvia (portrayed by Rose Byrne) and Will (Seth Rogen), two childhood friends who drifted apart due to a massive argument but reconnect later, ended its first season in 2024. It will return with a second season in August 2025, furthering Gallo’s comedic career within the show.

Pej Vahdat (Arastoo Vaziri)

Since his tenure on “Bones” concluded, Pej Vahdat has established himself as a dependable character actor, landing several recurring roles across various television series. Post his departure from portraying Arastoo Vaziri, he made appearances in multiple shows as a guest star, such as “The Good Doctor,” “Counterpart,” and “Elementary.” He also had a recurring role as Sam Armand on “Arrow” and featured in five episodes of “The Village,” where he played Hamid. From Season 4 to Season 6, Vahdat recurred on “Empire” as Kelly Patel, and more recently, he took on the character Dex Dexter in The CW’s reboot of “Dynasty.

Lately, he’s assumed the role of a younger Faraz Hamzad in “The Old Man”, and has reappeared as Leo in “Tracker”. He’s also part of Season 2 of “Poker Face”, and is expanding his voice acting career with roles in “American Dad!” and “Spidey and His Amazing Friends”.

Recently, he’s been cast as the younger Faraz Hamzad in “The Old Man” and reprised his role as Leo in “Tracker”. He’s set to appear in Season 2 of “Poker Face”, and is building his voice acting portfolio with roles in “American Dad!” and “Spidey and His Amazing Friends”.
