Life After Roswell - CSI: Miami's Brendan Fehr
Majandra Delfino & Colin Hanks also starred in 1999's Roswell

One-time lovers both on and off screen, Brendan Fehr and Majandra Delfino have seen their post-Roswell fortunes differ since they parted company. Majandra has struggled to become a successful recording artist while Brendan went on to greater fame in CSI: Miami.
Michael Guerin – Played by Brendan Fehr
Michael was the troubled, third alien whose moody stare could only be outdone by his gravity-defying hair. The long-suffering boyfriend of Maria DeLuca and Roswell’s token trailer trash, he never needed much of an excuse to rage against the unfairness of it all.
After taking small parts in a long list of movies, including Biker Boyz and 2004’s Childstar, Brendan Fehr, 31, won the role of Butch in the 2004 independent film, Sugar. The film received glowing reviews and Brendan was nominated for a Genie award for best supporting actor. This led to a variety of recurring television roles and he is now perhaps best known for playing Dan Cooper in CSI: Miami. Brendan has also appeared in Bones and a mini-series called Samurai Girl; a drama in which he played the master ninja, Jake Stanton. His latest project is a movie called Fort McCoy, to be released in 2010.
Brendan married his wife, Jennifer Rowley in July 2006 and became dad to daughter James Olivia on March 26, 2008.
Maria DeLuca – Played by Majandra Delfino
The fast-talking, opinionated Maria was Liz’s best friend and the love interest of serial snarler, Michael. When she wasn’t working for Liz’s parents at The Crashdown Cafe, she was usually roaring around Roswell in her mother’s car or engaging in a near-weekly screaming match with Michael.
Unwilling to rest on her acting laurels, Majandra Delfino, 28, also describes herself as a singer, songwriter, dancer and artist. Her singing career took off when she sang in several Roswell episodes, leading to the release of her first EP, The Sicks, in 2001. She has since recorded a duet called Le Prince Bleu D'Arthelius with France’s RoBERT and released a second album through her own record label - 2007’s Tarte.
Majandra met future husband and fellow actor Devon Gummersall (best remembered for his role as Brian Krakow in the cult show, My So-Called Life) when he played the part of Maria’s cousin in Roswell. They married in 2007 and have since gone on to work together on the NBC show, Quarterlife. Rumours of their subsequent divorce have yet to be substantiated.
Majandra’s post-Roswell acting career doesn’t seem to have been as successful as her music career. Among appearances in a handful of largely unknown movies, she has also popped up in one-off roles on television shows such as Help Me Help You and Ultra. The recent announcement of a lead role in new ABC pilot, Pulling (based on the UK series of the same name) may reverse her fortunes. The show is about three wine-loving single women who move in together.
Alex Whitman – Played by Colin Hanks
Poor Alex Whitman. After playing third wheel to Liz and Maria for years and holding an unrequited candle for the glamorous Isabel Evans, all his wishes came true when Isabel finally began taking an interest in him. Unfortunately, his happiness was short lived (literally) and he died in season two at the hands of vampy, brain-sucking alien, Tess.
Struggling to distinguish himself as an actor in his own right, Colin Hanks, 31 – son of movie star, Tom – has amassed an impressive list of major film roles, as well as a part in the Broadway play, 33 Variations with Jane Fonda. In the same year that Roswell ended, he starred with Jack Black in teen movie, Orange County. His affiliation with Black also led to a part in the 2005 remake of King Kong (in which Black played Carl Denham) and a cameo role in Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny.
He achieved further success on television, appearing in Band of Brothers and Mad Men, before turning his attention back to movies. His latest offering, The Great Buck Howard Troy Gable, also stars his father. He is currently directing a documentary about Tower Records.
