Katherine Heigl is Roswell’s breakout star. She starred in the show as Isabel Evans and was actually dating her on-screen brother Max (played by Jason Behr) at the time. It wasn’t until she landed the role of Izzie Stevens on the primetime medical drama Grey’s Anatomy that her career skyrocketed. She won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2007 and began landing movie roles as well. She had roles in Knocked Up, 27 Dresses, The Ugly Truth, Killers, Life As We Know It and New Year’s Eve. Her once promising career, however, has since lost momentum due to her unprofessionalism and diva-like behavior on set, and also because her movies stopped making money. In recent years, she’s tried to return to TV with State of Affairs and Doubt, but both shows were quickly cancelled.

Since Jason Behr starred in Roswell as Max Evans, his career has been almost non-existent. He had roles in the movies The Grudge, Man of God, Skinwalkers and Senseless and he also had a recurring role on the show Breakout Kings, but as of 2012, he hasn’t been involved in anything entertainment-related. In 2006, he married actress KaDee Strickland, who he met while filming The Grudge, and together they have three children, a son (born in 2013) and twin daughters (born in 2017).
