18 Celebs That Starred On "Cold Case"

The forgotten crime drama of the '00's had some pretty cool guests...

1. Raviv Ullman a.k.a Phil of the Future

Phil of the Future was on this show?! Yup, in season 5 he played a Virginity Club member turned killer (yikes!)

2. Jennifer Lawrence (!)

Just when you thought JLaw couldn't get any cooler, she stars in season 4 as a girl who goes to all lengths to put the man to justice who killed her mother years ago! The doer eventually gets caught because you can't mess with Katniss Everdeen and get away with it (and also someone had to confess before the end of the episode a la original crime drama format).

3. Shailene Woodley

As we await Divergent , we should take some time to appreciate the roles that Shai had before she made it big time. In season 5, she played an Amish girl whose sister was murdered during her week outside the community, or "rumspringa". Maybe that's why Triss wasn't feeling the Amity faction!

4. Darren Criss

Before he became Blaine on Glee he was on Cold Case! Criss guested in season 7 as the leader of a hippie-bomber group. Not only is that an Oxymoron, but you can also breathe a sigh of relief because everyone's favorite warbler didn't kill anyone! He did get into a couple fights with the victim though...

5. KeKe Palmer

In Season 1, Palmer played the friend of a woman murdered in 1939. She played a minor role, but even in 1939 she had some True-ly awesome fashion cred!

6. Michael B. Jordan

The Fruitvale Station star was on this show too omg! Michael guests as a thug who murdered his own 14 year old brother after exploiting his math skills in an illegal gambling ring. That Family Feud has nothing on the game show!

7. Christina Hendricks

As evident in her role on Mad Men , Christina knows her way in period acting, so it only makes sense she was on Cold Case too! Shortly before the era of Don Draper, Hendricks played a woman in 1945 who used her "womanly charms" to get what she wanted. Sound familiar?

8. David Henrie

Alexandra Wyman / Via WireImage.com

The Wizards of Waverly Place star was on this show too! However in his role on Cold Case he plays a neighborhood bully who taunts 8 year olds. Pick on someone your own size!

9. AnnaLynne McCord

In season 4, the 90210 starlet played a high school cheerleader who murdered a fellow squad member...and we thought Naomi could be harsh!

10. Tristan Wilds

Another 90210 alum has been on this show! Tristan played murdered drug dealer who tried to change his ways.

11. Paul Wesley

Via CWTV

While we're on the CW circuit, let's not forget The Vampire Diaries' Paul Wesley! Wesley stars as a guy who idolizes his father, a notorious robber. I gotta say, he makes one hot bad boy!

12. Tyler Blackburn

Ron Tom / Via ABC Family

Before Ravenswood and Pretty Little Liars Tyler landed a role on Cold Case! Playing another hot bad boy intrigued with his murdered father, this one a mob boss accountant, Blackburn's character is out for revenge. Need I say that revenge is a good look for Tyler and Paul?

13. Kenton Duty

Starbux / WENN

The Shake it Up star really shook things up in season 6 when he played a 12 year old killer!

14. Wilson Bethel

In season 6, the Hart of Dixie star played a murdered marine involved in a love affair with a previously unattainable woman. Kind of like Wade and Zoey's relationship...if they lived in 1950's Philadelphia and Wade was a marine.

15. Nicholas Braun

David Livingston / Via WireImage.com

The Prom and 10 Things I Hate About You cutie was in the same episode as Wilson Bethel, and played a fellow marine buddy falsely accused of stealing a gun and murdering Bethel's character. How anybody thought that he was capable of any heinous act is beyond me!

16. Aimee Teegarden

Via Wire Image

Wait another Prom star?! Surprisingly, Aimee jumpstarted her acting career as the daughter of a murderer in Season 1! Ooo kill 'em (pun intended).

17. Chelsea Hobbs

Via ABC Family

Chelsea played Emily Kmetko on Make it or Break it ! However on Cold Case, she plays a pin-up girl, Betty, who murders her best friend and fellow pin-up girl. Between Emily and Betty, Chelsea's characters just can't win.

18. Paul James

Via Joe DeAngelis

Last, but certainly not least, the guy who played Calvin on Greek starred in what was arguably considered the most emotional episode of Cold Case. Ever. He played a 16 year old victim who was lynched in a racially-fueled crime. If you watch his episode, you're gonna need some boxes of Puffs Plus on hand ASAP.
