Whatever Happened To The Cast Of Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

Publish date: 2024-05-18

Megan was the local rich kid on "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" and as such, felt herself to be a bit above the trappings of the Midnight Society. Why go to some well-worn spot in the woods, she reasoned, when she could just have everybody over to her fancy house and fancy yard for a fire there? As a result, it's Megan who introduced furniture to the Midnight Society, bringing in a couch and a chair to make her friends more physically comfortable for when she told them her haunted fairy tales and unsettling fables.

Fresh off her 1996 to 2000 stint as Megan on "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" Elisha Cuthbert moved from Canada to the United States and became the show's biggest breakout success, emerging as a "Maxim"-covering sex symbol and mid-2000s star. For the better part of a decade, she played the often-in-danger Kim Bauer on Fox's Emmy-winning terrorist thriller, "24," which led to memorable appearances in era comedies like "Old School," "Love Actually," and "The Girl Next Door." Cuthbert then starred in the ABC sitcom, "Happy Endings," and the Netflix comedy, "The Ranch." 

In addition to her acting career, Cuthbert also settled down with her husband, Canadian hockey player Dion Phaneuf, in 2013. Four years later, the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Zaphire. Reminiscing about her time with the popular Nickelodeon series in 2015, Cuthbert told The Globe and Mail, "It was like an actors' camp for kids."
