Starting in 2011, television fans were treated to an iconic show that took viewers on a journey for vengeance. Revenge told the story of how Amanda Clarke (Emily VanCamp) attempted to get justice for her father David Clarke, who was wrongly charged for crime he had not committed and ultimately killed — or so she thought. The series, which aired for four seasons on ABC, took a massive amount of inspiration from the classic story, The Count of Monte Cristo, written by Alexandre Dumas in 1844.
Pretending to be Emily Thorne, Amanda goes after the Graysons, wealthy neighbors in the Hamptons who she believes are responsible for framing her father for treachery when she was a young girl. With computer hacker Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann) assisting her, a reconnection with her childhood friend Jack Porter (Nick Wechsler), and new love interest Daniel Grayson (Josh Bowman) from the very family she’s targeting, Amanda hatches a deceptive plan to prove the truth.
Since the series finale, fans have been wondering what the cast of this dramatic and scandalous series is up to nowadays. Some of the cast held a “pool day” reunion in 2018, per VanCamp’s Instagram post, causing a stir among fans who began prompting ABC to bring back the series, and in December 2018, VanCamp and Bowman, who had been dating after meeting on the series, got married, with many of their cast mates attending the ceremony. Here’s what else the cast of Revenge has been up to.
Emily VanCamp
On Revenge, Emily VanCamp portrayed the lead character Emily Thorne, who was really Amanda Clarke attempting to get revenge. Fans might also recognize her from being cast as a nurse, Nicolette Niven, in The Resident, which she began starring in, in 2018. Prior to that role she appeared in the films, The Girl in the Book and Boundaries.
Her character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Sharon Carter, was heavily involved in the Captain America movies and reappeared in the Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. VanCamp’s most recent role is in the 2023 film, Miranda’s Victim, where she plays Ann Weir, the mother of a young woman who was abducted and raped in the 1960s.
