How to interpret ‘current’ for legacy shows
For series that ended over 20 years ago, “cast now” can mean: active stardom, occasional cameos, industry-adjacent work, or largely private lives. This article distinguishes between verifiable credits (film/TV appearances, music releases) and reduced public presence. Where data is uncertain, we label confidence levels and avoid speculation. Definitions: verified credit = appearance in credited film/TV or official musician release within the last 24 months; intermittent = work occurring several times per year, not annually.

- Katie Holmes: selective film and series choices, with lifestyle and advocacy alongside onscreen work.
