It's been nearly 30 years since Blossom first debuted on NBC. The classic '90s sitcom introduced us to a cast of future TV stars, including Mayim Bialik and Joey Lawrence. We obviously know how their careers turned out [1], but what about the rest of the actors who starred alongside them for five years? The cast of Blossom have had pretty widely varied professional paths after their hit show in the '90s [2], from successful acting careers to quieter lives outside of Hollywood. If you're wondering what's the latest news about your favourite Blossom stars, wonder no more! We've taken a look to see what the main cast is up to these days — keep reading for all the updates on the show's cast today.

Mayim Bialik as Blossom Russo

Bialik launched her career as the title character, a thoughtful girl growing up in a complicated family.

Mayim Bialik Now

As an adult, Bialik is best known for her Emmy-nominated role as Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory. She's much more than just her acting career, though: Bialik earned a PhD in neuroscience in 2007!

Joey Lawrence as Joey Russo

Lawrence played Blossom's dim-bulb jock older brother; younger versions of the character were played in flashbacks by Lawrence's own younger brothers.

Joey Lawrence Now

Lawrence has worked steadily since Blossom, including a show with his real-life brothers, who are both actors as well. He's had a moderately successful music career, and more recently turned back to comedy work with the 2010s sitcom Melissa and Joey.

Michael Stoyanov as Tony Russo

Stoyanov played the oldest Russo sibling, Tony, a recovering addict turned paramedic.

Stoyanov's career has been a little quieter than some of his Blossom castmates. He's had supporting roles on shows like Justified, Gotham, and Billions, and has also had a career as a writer.

Ted Wass as Nick Russo

Wass's role as Russo patriarch Nick was his last acting role. Since then, he's stayed out of the spotlight and shifted to a directing career, with episodes of Spin City, 2 Broke Girls, and The Big Bang Theory on his resume.

Jenna von Oy as Six Dorothy Lemeure

Six (left) was Blossom's loyal best friend, who goes through a lot of tough situations over the course of the series.

Finola Hughes as Carol Russo

The British actress played Carol, Nick's second wife and stepmother to Blossom, Joey, and Tony.
