Stars Announce More Tourdates, Recall Television Acting Stints

Remember when Torquil Campbell, the singer of Stars, starred in an episode of Sex and the City in 2000? Sure you do! But did you know that the other members of Stars also starred on a few hit shows back in the day? Really! Check out the list below:

- Amy Millan may be a singer/guitarist in Stars today, but back in 1994, she was originally cast as “Monica” on Friends. She backed out after a few episodes, and Courtney Cox was given the role instead.
- Evan Cranley has been playing bass in Stars since their formation in 2000, but two years prior to that he played a prison guard in the finale episode of Seinfeld.
- Chris Seligman helped form Stars with Torquil, and he actually hasn’t acted in any television shows, but rumor has it he used to be a porn director before Stars hit it big.

Aspiring actors/waiters, be sure to ask Stars for their showbiz advice when they play your town:
