Where to find 9 former Fringe stars now that the show's crossed over
It’s only been gone for a few months, but the pain is starting to set in. For the first time in five years, fans are gearing up for a new television season that doesn't hold the promise of new Fringe.
Though the series may be gone, that doesn’t mean some of our favorite stars won’t be kicking around on TV and film this fall.
Main stars Joshua Jackson (Peter) and Anna Torv (Olivia) are taking the pilot season off from TV work, but Jackson does have a new action flick out this year. They may be the heart of the show, but there are several other Fringe-ies we love and will miss this year.
So if you’re going into Fringe withdrawal, here are a few outlets that should help ease the pain.

Here's where you'll be able to find 9 of your favorite Fringe stars this year.
Seth Gabel
Of all the actors looking for a new workload, Gabel is staying about as close as you can to the sci-fi genre. He’s booked a co-starring role in ABC’s monster drama Gothica, and has a recurring role as a baddie on Arrow. He was a great addition to Arrow and it’ll be great to see him around again this fall on Gothica.
Mark Valley
He didn’t last too long as Olivia’s original partner, but Valley’s John Scott was a great addition to the series’ mythology. He’s kept busy since, and is currently co-starring in the ABC series Body of Proof. He also provided voice work for Superman in the animated feature Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2.
Leonard Nimoy
To have only been in a little more than 10 episodes, Nimoy’s William Bell had a presence that hung over the entire series of Fringe. He’s a sci-fi legend, and was the only conceivable foil for Noble’s Dr. Walter Bishop. Though he doesn’t do much acting these days, Nimoy most recently volunteered his trademark voice to the 3D animated movie Zambezia, which hits shelves next month.
Kevin Corrigan
Corrigan co-starred as the mysterious Sam Weiss on Fringe, and is keeping busy this year with several roles in upcoming indie flicks. He has a spot in the short films Ice and Stuff. He’s also in the new fantasy flick Winter’s Tale.
Kirk Acevedo
He was a fan favorite as Charlie Francis on both sides of the universe, and has booked some guest roles on CSI and CSI: New York this year. He also stars in the low budget sci-fi flick Collision Earth that was originally released in 2011, but only hit BluRay a few months ago.
Lance Reddick
The man is built to play a military leader, and was a force as Phillip Broyles on Fringe. He’ll pop up later this year in the thriller White House Down with Channing Tatum. He also has a small-ish role in Spike Lee’s remake of the SOuth Korean action flick Oldboy.
Georgina Haig
Haig was a late addition to the cast and was only around for a few episodes as Peter and Olivia’s future daughter, but she proved a fan favorite and helped propel the narrative of the final season. She’ll be popping up this fall in the new CBS’s legal/crime drama Reckless.
Joshua Jackson
Jackson and Anna Torv are taking the season off from the TV pilot circus, but Jackson took some time to put out the Canadian thriller Inescapable last month, which will be popping up in screenings throughout this year. Sadly, it was mostly panned by critics and compared to a less awesome version of Taken.
John Noble
Noble is keeping close to his mad scientist roots with his post-Fringe plans, and is voicing Brainiac in the animated feature Superman: Unbound. Could there be a better fit for this role? Noble is also starring in the suspenseful, low budget indie short Friend co-written by his daughter.
