There’s Melissa McCarthy, of course, who plays Sookie and has since gone on to star in massive comedy blockbusters like Bridesmaids and Spy, as well as Jared Padalecki, who just wrapped up a hugely successful run on Supernatural. You may also recognize Sherry Tinsdale, Christopher’s perky (eventually ex) fiancée, and be wondering where you’ve seen her before. Who plays Sherry in Gilmore Girls?
