The Cast of "The Drew Carey Show": Where are They Now?
The beloved sitcom The Drew Carey Show aired on ABC from 1995 to 2004. The show revolved around the life of "everyman" Drew Carey and his gang of friends.
With crazy bosses, garage-brewed caffeinated beer and messed up friends, this fictionalized, middle-class version of Drew Carey's life made us fall in love with him and with Cleveland, Ohio - his home town.
But where are Drew and the gang now? Keep reading to see what these funny actors and actresses are up to these days.
Drew Allison Carey
Drew Allison Carey was the main character of the show - a fictional version the show's creator and main star.
Mr. "Everyman" is a perpetual "nice guy" who works in the human resources department at Winfred-Louder. He is also the founder and co-owner of "Buzz Beer," a coffee-flavored caffeinated beer.
In addition to having lots of friends, Carey also has a "nemesis" - his co-worker Mimi. The two play pranks on each other, which are truly mean spirited and driven by a sincere dislike for one another. The pranks stop after Mimi becomes Drew's sister in law, but their mutual disdain remains.
Drew Carey
Drew Carey started out as a stand-up comedian after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Today, he is probably most recognized as the host of the popular TV game show The Price is Right.
While The Drew Carey Show was on the air, Carey also hosted the much-loved improv comedy show, Whose Line is it Anyway? In April 2011, he began hosting a primetime improv show called Drew Carey's Improv-A-Gaza.
Recently, he lost a significant amount of weight due to health issues.
Ryan Stiles as Lewis Kiniski
Tall, lovable and perpetually bemused, Stiles once described his character as "Not even a character at first, just a creep really."
Lewis Kiniski works as a janitor for a company called DrugCo - which conducts bizarre experiments - but is actually a genius with an IQ score of 162. He once worked at the company in a job that "required him to wear a lab coat" but was demoted after releasing a dangerous strain of bacteria into the air.
Lewis was a favorite among the show's fans.
Ryan Stiles
After The Drew Carey Show, Stiles continued to work as a performer on Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza. He made short guest appearances on Murphy Brown, Mad About You, Dharma & Greg, and in 2011 on Reno 911.
He also played Herb Melnick on Two and a Half Men. He is married with three children and lives on Lake Samish, Washington, where he opened the Upfront Theatre, a small theatre dedicated to live improv comedy.
Diedrich Bader as Oswald Lee Harvey
Making up the second half of the Lewis-Oswald duo, Oswald Lee Harvey is a "man-child stuck in a sort of prolonged adolescence," as Lewis once referred to him.
At the beginning of the show, Oswald (named after John F. Kennedy's assassin) was a DJ, but as the show progressed, he took on a string of failed jobs, at first becoming a delivery driver for Global Parcel, attempting - and failing - to become a nurse, working as a delivery guy for Never Ending Store, and ultimately, he became the owner of the Warsaw bar.
Diedrich Bader
The Drew Carey Show made Bader very successful, and today he is mostly known for lending his voice to many blockbuster animated films, including Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Ice Age, The Simpsons, South Park and The Penguins of Madagascar. He played the Russian Cosmonaut in Space Buddies, and he currently stars as Gret Otto in American Housewife. He also has a recurring role in HBO's Veep as Bill Ericsson.
He is slated to voice Batman in the upcoming animated Harley Quinn show.
Craig Ferguson as Nigel Algernon Wick
Eccentric, sadistic, cocaine-addict Englishman - and Drew's "husband" (that is, on paper, in order to get the green card, and for Drew to get his job back) - Nigel Wick was also Drew's boss.
He enjoyed firing employees - usually men with the family name "Johnson" - and had once been shot by a Johnson after having fired him.
Craig originally auditioned for Suddenly Susan, but the casting director referred him to The Drew Carey Show which was auditioning at the same studio.
Craig Ferguson
Ferguson was nominated for an Emmy for his late-night talk show The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, which he hosted after The Drew Carey Show ended. The Late Late Show was a huge hit and is still considered one of the best late-night talk shows ever aired.
He has written two books: Between the Bridge and the River and American on Purpose. He has also written and starred in three films and directed one of them. In 2017 the show Couple Thinkers, which he worked on with his wife Megan, premiered.
John Carroll Lynch as Steve Carey
Steve is Drew's straight - but cross-dressing - brother. He originally came to Cleveland and got himself a job in the cosmetics department at Winfred-Louder. After dating for one season, he married Drew's nemesis, Mimi, in a ceremony in Drew's back yard - which Drew officiated with the help of an online minister.
As the show progressed, Steve gradually gave up crossdressing without much explanation, although it was hinted that he did it to make Mimi happy.
He left the show early in the 8th season.
John Carroll Lynch
Lynch's big break was certainly the role of Norm Gunderson in Fargo. He then went on to do successful roles in The Drew Carey Show, American Horror Story: Freak Show and American Horror Story: Cult as Twisty the Clown.
He also appeared in classic movies like Face/Off, Gran Torino, Shutter Island, Ted 2, and Zodiac. Most recently he played McDonald in The Founder. Also, he made his directorial debut in 2017 with the film Lucky.
Wanda Sykes as Christine Watson
After the infamous Nigel Wick was fired from the company, Christine Watson was hired to replace him as the manager. While she was cruel to the rest of the company, Christine had a soft spot for Drew.
While her role in the show was small - she only appeared in three episodes - it was very memorable, and her infinitely quotable character instantly became a fan favorite.
Wanda Sykes
Wanda Sykes ranks among Entertainment Weekly's 25 Funniest People in America. She first gained attention as a writer on The Chris Rock Show - for which she won an Emmy- and has been pretty successful in Hollywood since.
She appeared in Monster-In-Law, Licence to Wed, Evan Almighty, and lended her recognizable voice to the role of Granny in the Ice Age franchise.
Recently Wanda starred in her own comedy special I'ma Be Me, which earned her multiple Emmy nominations. She was also in 2017's A Bad Moms Christmas.
Ian Gomez as Larry Almada
Larry Almada was one of Drew's not-so-professional co-workers. A funny, bumbling character who sleeps his way into a promotion, Larry was not above using morally dubious methods to get what he wanted.
He ends up in jail for selling drugs - which is apparently not enough to get him fired from Winfred-Lauder - but he leaves the company soon after, anyway.
He bounces back by setting up a moderately successful dating service, which he later expands into a television chat show.
Ian Gomez
The Drew Carey Show helped launch Ian Gomez into stardom. Following the show, he continued to work as an on-screen funny man, appearing in Felicity and Cougar Town. In the latter, Gomez plays Andy alongside his co-star from The Drew Carey Show, Christa Miller.
He is married to Nia Vardalos, actress/writer of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. He even appeared in the film's sequel as Mike. He also co-presented The Great American Baking Show with his wife.
Katy Selverstone as Lisa Robbins
Lisa Robbins is Drew's secret girlfriend, due to the rules at Winfred-Louder that do not allow management to have relationships with their employees. She later found a way to overcome this obstacle by getting a role as the head of the personal shopper department. Unfortunately, after an unsuccessful attempt to live together, the couple broke up.
In the show's second season Lisa got married and left town (and the show) for good. Happily, she leaves her dog, Speedy, with Drew.
Katy Selverstone
After The Drew Carey Show, Selverstone had a string of bad luck, signing up with shows that didn't make it past their first season. More recently things appeared to look up for her, as she was involved with higher-profile shows such as NYPD Blue, CSI and CSI: Miami. She also appeared on The L Word, Nip/Tuck and in one episode of Seinfeld. She is also known for being part of the original Broadway cast of The Ride Down Mt. Morgan.
Kathy Kinney as Mimi Bobeck
Mimi, Mr. Wick's assistant/secretary was originally supposed to be a one-off character for the pilot episode, but she was such a hit that she became one of the show's leads alongside Drew himself.
A woman who usually wears too much make up and has a very high self-esteem, Mimi was Drew's nemesis. Being a roadie for Foghat in the past, she was allegedly married to Eddie Money and had affairs with Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton.
Mimi, the Duchess of Krakow, also married Drew's brother.
Kathy Kinney
In 2009 Mimi/Kinney appeared as a guest on The Price is Right, hosted by Drew Carey. She also appeared on Whose Line Is It Anyway? and in Drew's Carey's Improv-A-Ganza. More recently, she starred in The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
Kinney continues to act today, but in addition to her acting roles she also penned a book with co-author Cindy Ratzlaff, entitled Queen of Your Own Life: The Grown-up Woman's Guide to Claiming Happiness and Getting the Life You Deserve.
Kaitlin Olson as Traylor
With only a few TV credits to her name, Kaitlin Olson managed to land a recurring role on the final two seasons of The Drew Carey Show, appearing in 14 episodes of the show as Traylor, Drew's boss' girlfriend. She was originally only supposed to appear in one episode, but ended up coming back for more.
She also had the privilege of joining Drew Carey and several members of Whose Line Is It Anyway? on tour, performing for US troops around Europe.
Kaitlin Olson
In 2005, Olsen caught her big break and was cast as Deandra ("Dee") Reynolds on the FX comedy series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, where she also found love and married her co-star Rob McElhenney. She's been playing Dee on Always Sunny ever since, for over 13 years now.
She also appeared in movies such as Leap Year, The Heat, and landed her voice to Destiny in Finding Dory in 2016. In 2017, she gained the lead role in the Fox comedy series The Mick, which was cancelled after two seasons.
Kristen Wiig as Sandy
We all know Kristen Wiig today - she's one of Hollywood's most successful actresses and a Saturday Night Live alum with over a hundred episodes under her belt. But before she had her SNL breakthrough, Wiig appeared in only three TV shows in minor roles.
She played Dr. Pat on The Joe Schmo Show, had a small part in I'm with Her as a character named Kristy… and appeared as Sandy in one episode of The Drew Carey Show.
Kristen Wiig
Today, Kristen Wiig needs no introduction, as she is widely recognized for her work on Saturday Night Live.
She received eight Emmy Award nominations, a Golden Globe nomination for best actress for Bridesmaids, and an Academy Award and BAFTA nominations for Best Original Screenplay for Bridesmaids.
She also appeared in major Hollywood blockbusters such as The Martian, and played the leading role in 2016's Ghostbusters reboot - for which she won a Women Film Critics Circle Award for Best Female Action Hero.
Christa Miller as Kate O'Brien
Kate O'Brien was a childhood friend of Drew, Lewis and Oswald. After she left Oswald at the altar, she found out about Drew's feelings for her and the two eventually got engaged. They broke up, got together again, got engaged, broke up again after disagreeing about having kids, and were briefly married… until she discovered that Drew was officially already married to someone else.
This caused a huge rift between them, but while they never got involved romantically again, they were able to forgive each other and become friends once more.
She stayed on the show until the beginning of the 8th season.
Christa Miller
Christa Miller has been acting since the mid 1980s. Before The Drew Carey Show, she appeared in Seinfeld, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Party of Five.
Following her run as a series regular on The Drew Carey Show, Christa went to play in the hit series Scrubs as the frightening Jordan Sullivan - a role for which she was nominated for the Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actress.
She also landed a role in Cougar Town alongside her co-star from The Drew Carey Show, Ian Gomez, as well as appearing as a guest star in CSI: Miami.
Nan Martin as Fran Louder
Fran Louder is the CEO of Winfred-Louder, a corporation she inherited from her late husband.
Mrs. Louder is a "cougar" who had a long affair with the lazy, unprofessional and moral bankrupt Larry Almada (Ian Gomez). She thinks very little of Drew, but occasionally gives him small promotions.
After one speech in which she let loose a barrage of ethnic and LGBT slurs, employees began a riot - and she was removed from her position as CEO of the company.
Nan Martin
Nan Martin was one of television's most prolific actresses. During her long career, spanning over 50 years of acting, she appeared in a wide array of shows and films, including Columbo, Curb Your Enthusiasm, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, The Invisible Man, The Untouchables, The Twilight Zone and Star Trek: The Next Generation. She also appeared in The Golden Girls.
Martin passed away in 2010, at the age of 82.
Jonathan Mangum as Scott
Jonathan Mangum appeared in the recurring role of Scott, one of Drew and Mimi's bosses in seasons 8 and 9. As a co-owner of Never Ending Store, the internet company that took over Drew's workplace, Scott works alongside his brother Evan, and teaches computer classes in the summers.
As the business-minded, more "serious" brother, he is often easily irritated by Evan's "peace seeking" way of life and attitudes towards the company and the workplace.
Jonathan Mangum
Jonathan Mangum's career as a comedian has mostly taken off following his role on The Drew Carey Show.
Before appearing on the show, he had made a few appearances on TV shows such as Married with Children, Roseanne, Clueless, Clarissa Explains it All, Just Shoot Me, ER, Reno 911!, and NCIS.

Marion is extremely prolific and, despite having passed the age of 90, continues to act in many projects.
Jessica Cauffiel as Milan
Jessica Cauffiel became well-known after she appeared on The Drew Carey show, in which she played the character of Milan for two seasons.
Milan is Lord Mercer's teenybopper daughter, whom he chooses to place as president of the Winfred-Lauder corporation and store - despite her only being 19.
She isn't exactly up to the task, and Mercer tasks Drew with mentoring her as she takes on her new responsibilities. Ultimately, this doesn't work out, but does provide quite a few laughs.
Jessica Cauffiel
After The Drew Carey show, Jessica played in several supporting roles in movies like Legally Blonde and White Chicks.
In 2005 she co-starred alongside Anthony Hopkins in the biopic period drama The World's Fastest Indian.
In 2006, she landed a recurring role in My Name Is Earl, but took a break from acting shortly thereafter.
She briefly returned to both TV and film in 2009, but since then appears to be on another hiatus.
Angela Dohrmann as Suzie
After leaving music world, where she was VJ for Canadian music channel, Angela Dohrmann took on the role of Suzie in The Drew Carey Show.
In the first season of the show, Suzie is an inept employee whom Drew decides to fire - not knowing she is the mistress of Mr. Bell, his boss.
This causes a series of misunderstandings and role changes at the company as people are switched out and replaced in order to retain Suzie as a personal assistant at the company - all to Drew's chagrin.
Angela Dohrmann
In addition to her recurring role on The Drew Carey Show, Angela Dohrmann has appeared on Seingeld (As Donna Chang in "The Chinese Woman" episode), Ellen, and on Star Trek: Voyager.
She also had a recurring role on the police drama Nash Bridges as Stacy Bridges.
Today, Dohrmann - better known to her friends as Angi - lives in New York city and teaches a course in comedy at the Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Bill Cobbs as Tony
Before Bill Cobbs briefly appeared on The Drew Carey Show as the likeable Tony, he was already a well-established actor. His TV credits before the show included NYPD Blue, The Outer Limits, Walker, Texas Ranger, The Sopranos, JAG and Six Feet Under - but it's his film credits that were truly impressive.
Cobbs had played in over 20 films before appearing on Carey's show, including Demolition Man, Fatal Instinct and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
Bill Cobbs
Successful in both television and film, Cobbs' career is full of little roles that made him famous worldwide. From The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, JAG to The Hudsucker Proxy, The Muppets, Night at the Museum - and its subsequent sequels, That Thing You Do, Sunshine State and many more.
In 2013 Cobbs co-starred in Oz the Great and Powerful as Master Tinker, and he continues to act today in various character roles.
Kate Walsh as Nicki Fifer
Featured in a total of 19 episodes, Nicki Fifer was a real-estate agent who got engaged to Drew. Walsh wore a fat suit in some episodes, because her character was having an eating disorder and became obese.
Nicki left Drew, but only until she started losing her weight. She even got married to Drew - shortly before he married Kate, thereby making him a bigamist.
At one point, Nicki returned to the show, blaming Drew for all of her recent life problems and trying to kill him. After her breakdown, Drew let her sleep in his apartment until she managed to get back on her feet.
Kate Walsh
After her big break on Grey's Anatomy as the ex-wife of Dr. McDreamy, Walsh continued to play the character of Dr. Addison Montgomery in the spin-off show Private Practice.

In addition to her impressive acting career, Walsh is also a businesswoman, and in 2010 founded Boyfriend LLC, a beauty and lifestyle company.
Cynthia Watros as Kellie Newmark
We first meet Kellie at the beginning of the show's eighth season. She is a childhood friend of Drew's, and he bumps into her at a strip club where she was working to support herself after her divorce. Drew decided to take her in to his home and help her get back on her feet, and the relationship between the two blossomed.
Kellie soon became pregnant but refused to marry Drew until the very end of her pregnancy.
Kellie gave birth to their son, Drew Jr., on their wedding day - and the series finale.

Cynthia also appeared on Law & Order, House M.D., Criminal Minds, Grey's Anatomy and a string of other successful TV shows.
Kelly Perine as Chuck
Chuck, the head of security and Winfred-Louder, was with The Drew Carey Show since its first season. He is on good terms with Drew, tipping him off to important office gossip and information, and helping him out significantly.
Chuck is also one of the many employees offended by Mrs. Louder's racist and homophobic comments in her speech, and who come to Drew asking for his help in getting Louder to either apologize or resign.
Kelly Perine

Evan is Scott's spiritual, laid-back brother. A Zen-seeking Buddhist who likes to encourage peace and provide support for those who need it, he himself relies heavily on a life coach, therapy sessions and anti-anxiety medication.
While trying to maintain appearances as cool, calm and collected, one of the show's funniest scenes takes place when he gets into an argument with his brother, Scott, over who is more "zen."

Robert Torti as Jay Clemens
We all remember Robet Torti as Jay Clemens, Kate's boyfriend during the show's first season and a good friend of Drew and the gang.
Kate is heavily invested in their relationship, continually expecting him to propose to her. So when he breaks up with her to go and open a Dairy Queen in Minnesota with his brother, Kate loses it. Drew drives her around town to Jay's house, where she smashes his window, shouting "That's for our breakup!!!"
Drew continues to drive her around as she smashes windows as retribution for all sorts of past slights, and the next time we see Jay is in season 5.

He continues to act today.
Jane Morris as Nora O'Dougherty
Nora O'Dougherty, Drew's notorious frenemy, has been a recurring character in all seasons of The Drew Carey Show except the sixth and eighth seasons.
She's a colorful fan favorite, and the various shenanigans she's gotten up to over the course of the show - and dragged Drew and the gang into, as well - are too many to count.
Despite having filed a law suit against Drew at some point, the two remain on friendly terms and continue to see each other at the Warsaw.
Jane Morris

She has appeared on countless TV shows and films - including Frankie and Johnny, His & Hers, True Lies with Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, My So-Called Life, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Runaway Bride, Freaks and Geeks and many more.

Jenica Bergere as Sharon Bridges
Drew first meets Sharon when he hires her as a plumber and handyperson to fix his toilet. The two immediately hit it off, while the jealous Lewis and Oswald try to ask her out as well.
Sharon fooled around with both Drew and Oswald for a while, and eventually ended up dating Drew seriously - or so he thinks. When a big Cleveland Browns game comes up, Sharon bought Drew a new big-screen TV, so he could watch the game from home. But when he ended up going to the stadium, he caught her with another guy - whom she had apparently been cheating on with Drew the entire time!
Jenica Bergere

She also appeared on Dawson's Creek, Half Baked, With or Without You and The Big Split, but despite her success, she decided to move on to a different profession, possibly inspired by her part in The Craft.
Today, Rachel True works as a professional Tarot Card reader in downtown Los Angeles - a role which, she says, allows her to help people connect with their intuition.
Kevin Pollak as Gerald Hawthorne Bell
We meet the character of Gerald Hawthorne Bell in the first season. Though, to say "meet" is a bit of a stretch. Mr. Bell is Drew's boss, and for the entirety of the first season we only hear his voice through Drew's speakerphone, despite the fact Drew's desk is very close to Mr. Bell's office.
When we finally do see him, it's in his last appearance on the show, after he is fired from his job as manager.
Exiting his office wearing a Santa suit, Bell turns to Drew and says "What's the matter, Carey? You act like you've never seen me before!"

Diane Farr as Tracy
Diane Farr appeared in a special guest role on The Drew Carey Show as Tracy - a girl Drew, Lewis and Oswald all unwittingly ask out at the same time.
Drew throws a party as a ruse to distract Lewis and Oswald, so he can ask her out without their interference, but that plan ultimately fails.
An episode later, the three friends compete in an event they call "Tracy Bowl 1," which will help determine who Tracy goes out with.
Diane Farr
Diane Farr is probably best known for her role as FBI agent Megan Reeves in CBS's Numb3rs, but she has also appeared on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Californication, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family and Two and a Half Men, to name a few.
She's also an author, having written two books - one of which, The Girl Code, a book about the secret language of single women, has been translated into 7 languages.
Pauley Perrette as Darcy
We first meet Darcy in season 4 of The Drew Carey Show. Darcy begins dating Drew after his band rises to moderate success. She is a stereotypical "rock groupie," who convinces Drew to dye his hair and leave his job to pursue his future with the band full-time.
Drew eventually decides to go back to his office job, and when he shows Darcy what he really does for a living, she dumps him.
Pauley Perrette
Pauley Perrette, who played Darcy on the show, is probably best known for playing Abby Sciuto on NCIS.
She's been nominated for multiple awards for her dramatic work, and is one of the best loved actors in the NCIS franchise.
In addition to her acting career, she is also a published writer, a singer and a civil rights advocate. She has also published poetry and regularly participates in poetry slams.
Post-series
Long after The Drew Carey Show ended, the final episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in 2014 featured Ferguson, lying in bed with Drew, "waking up" and saying that The Drew Carey Show was a dream of Mr. Wick's. Drew is surprised to learn that he lost weight and became a game show host in Wick's dream.
While this was clearly a tongue-in-cheek joke, some fans consider it Drew Carey canon.
