What do actors Pej Vahdat, Joel Moore, Ryan Cartwright, Carla Gallo and Michael Grant Terry all have in common? Well, aside from helping fill out the Jeffersonian’s revolving cast of interns (or as they’re affectionally referred to by fans as “Squinterns”) on the hit FOX series BONES since the whole “Gormogon” incident left Zach… errr… otherwise occupied, each and every one has seen their career surge since doing so.
Evidently, struggling actors are no longer turning to Scientology to get their name out there when an internship on BONES has proven to be just as effective! Or at least that was our conclusion after spending some time investigating the pre-and-post BONES careers of the following actors five.
BONES ID: Wendell Bray
Most notable onscreen characteristic: If the Squinterns were your run-of-the-mill boy band, Wendell Bray would most certainly be Sporty Squint, who, when he isn’t scoring on the ice playing hockey with Booth, is busy scoring points off the ice with Angela!
When he’s not assisting Dr. Temperance Brennan… Terry can be found guest starring in countless TV shows and movies including CRIMINAL MINDS, THE DEFENDERS, ELEVENTH HOUR, WITHOUT A TRACE and Post Grad.

When she’s not assisting Dr. Temperance Brennan… She’s inspiring us to write this post, after signing onto the CW’s upcoming pilot DANNI LOWINSKI!
BONES ID: Colin Fisher
Most notable onscreen characteristic: Is his inexplicable success rate with woman, which at last count has him boasting about hitting the century mark.
When he’s not assisting Dr. Temperance Brennan… He’s assisting Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) on Pandora in that little billion dollar franchise you may have heard of called Avatar.
BONES ID: Vincent Nigel-Murray
Most notable onscreen characteristic: Would be is obsession with trivial facts that netted him a million dollars on JEOPARDY while Booth and Brennan were busy finding themselves (or Hannah!) in between seasons 5 and 6.
