Part of Charmed featuring Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, and Julian McMahon.
Rise to Fame
He auditioned for the cop and got cast as the angel. Charmed needed a love interest for Piper, and Krause turned a supporting role into 154 episodes across eight seasons. Before that, Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991) put him opposite Milla Jovovich, and Sleepwalkers (1992) gave him the lead in a Stephen King horror. Neither made him a household name, but they kept him working long enough to land in Charmed's audition room. He stayed until the show ended and wrote a Season 5 episode while he was at it.
In the Spotlight
Post-Charmed, the credits kept coming but the budgets got smaller. Lifetime thrillers, Sci-Fi Channel creature features, titles like Slay Ride: The Movie and Die Hart. The convention circuit fills the gaps, and he co-hosts The House of Halliwell, a Charmed rewatch podcast with Holly Marie Combs and Drew Fuller. It's not a comeback arc. It's a working actor doing exactly what a working actor does after one defining show ends.
Side Notes
Before the acting career took hold, he was driving a pie truck and hanging drywall. He'd wanted to study medicine at one point, which has a certain irony: Leo Wyatt was a World War II medic-turned-guardian-angel, essentially a doctor who never stopped practicing. Nobody casts for that kind of coherence. He wrote one Charmed episode, Season 5's Sense and Sense Ability, though the credit was a one-off rather than a pivot.
