Gallery: 7 Actors from Last Season’s Failed TV Shows Trying Again This Year

Last Season: We met Kristoffer last year in The CW's Life Unexpected: He played reluctant dad Baze, a screw-up running his dad's bar who finds out he fathered a child in high school.

This Season: He's back on The CW with Ringer, opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar as addict Bridget and her twin sister, the wealthy Siobhan. He plays Henry, Siobhan's best friend's husband who's she's having an affair with.

Last Season: Brittany also had a breakout rule on LUX: As Baze and Kate's daughter Lux. (See what the writers did there?)

This Season: She's helping The CW ride the success of The Vampire Diaries with another supernatural show: The Secret Circle, about a new girl who discovers she comes from a family of witches.

Last Season: On TBS' short-lived attempt at a college series, Chris played Stankowski, the wise upperclassman who helped the younger pledges along and managed to always be high.

This Season: You've seen his mug plastered all over with the Whitney promo posters, where he seems to be playing the "perfect" (read: whipped) boyfriend to Whitney Cummings.

Last Season: Poor Josh played Better With You's whipping boy, the responsible guy who could never impress his girlfriend's parents because he and said girlfriend refused to get married.

This Season: We couldn't find a photo of Josh's next big gig -- playing a character named Louis Greene on Dexter -- so we compromised on a still from his web series Issues, with Lost star Greg Grunberg. (That's Josh on the left as a psychiatrist.)

Last Season: Remember My Generation? Remember how we really wanted his basketball player-turned-soldier to make it out of Afghanistan OK?

This Season: He's currently playing Terrence "T.K." King, a mouthy, hard-partying football player on USA's Necessary Roughness.

Last Season: Colin fought the brave fight, but even playing his signature "straight man to the crazy partner" character couldn't save The Good Guys from an early death.

This Season: Like Josh Cooke, he'll be one of the big players on Dexter season 6: The uber-fervent believer/murderer(?) Travis Marshall.

Last Season: We were really bummed to see that Running Wilde got cancelled, because it was actually a funny, sweet show that really utilized Will and co-star Keri Russell's comedic talents.

This Season: But then again, Up All Night is already getting rave reviews, so we're excited for Arnett!

But he better carve time out of his schedule to be in the Arrested Development movie!
