Sliders was basically Quantum Leap but across parallel universes – with a gang of pals all travelling through different realities via a weird wormhole in an attempt to find their way home to their own version of earth.

The cast have all gone on to appear in plenty of interesting projects, so we've stepped into the Digital Spy wormhole to explore the parallel universes of their various careers.

Jerry O'Connell - Quinn Mallory

O'Connell played lead character Quinn Mallory in Sliders, which ran for three seasons on Fox and two seasons on the Syfy Channel. The actor was credited as a producer during his fourth and final season, also writing and directing several episodes.

A child actor, O'Connell's first feature film role came in the big-screen adaptation of Stephen King's Stand by Me (1987).

O'Connell went on to appear in movies such as Jerry Maguire (1996), Scream 2 (1997) and Can't Hardly Wait (1998), before joining the show.

More recently, O'Connell has appeared in Justice League Action (2017), playing DC hero The Atom, Carter (2018) - a detective show about an actor who solves real crimes - and plays recurring roles on comedy show Drunk History.

The actor also performs live theatre, most recently appearing in the 2015 Broadway comedy Living on Love, with Renee Fleming, Anna Chlumsky and Douglas Sills.

He'll next be seen in Deep Murder, an indie film about porn stars who are being targeted by a serial killer.

After Sliders was picked up by the SyFy Channel, Lloyd's contract wasn't renewed and she left the show, landing a co-starring role as senior associate producer Natalie Hurley in the ABC sitcom Sports Night. She did cameo on Sliders following her exit – via a voiceover delivered by a body double.

Her next major role on lawyer comedy Ed came in 2003, where Lloyd played Frankie Hector. She followed it up with a recurring role on FBI drama Numb3rs in 2005. Lloyd hasn't acted since 2013's The Pretty One, an identity swap comedy starring Zoe Kazan.

Following his turn as Rembrandt "Crying Man" Brown, the failed musician who found his soul via his adventures with the Sliders gang, Derricks made a series of cameo appearances in major TV shows such as Charmed, The Practice and The Bernie Mac Show.

The actor also performed theatrically, winning a Tony Award and Drama Desk Award for the role of James 'Thunder' Early in Dreamgirls.

His most recent acting role came in 2011's Miami Magma, a TV disaster movie about a volcano.

John Rhys-Davies - Professor Maximilian Arturo

The iconic actor who's probably best known for his role as Gimli in The Lord of the Rings movies (before, he was probably most recognised for being Sallah in the Indiana Jones movies), Rhys-Davies still works regularly – with an astonishing 13 projects currently waiting to be released.

The actor appeared in 40 episodes of Sliders, before leaving the show (fairly acrimoniously), and going on to appear in projects as varied as Star Trek: Voyager (1997), Pinky And The Brain (1998) and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters (1998) before joining Peter Jackson's Tolkien trilogy in 2001.

His most recent film is the horror flick Aux (2017), about a couple of kids who unleash a deadly secret when they find a hidden hatch in the woods.

Kari Wuhrer - Maggie Becket

Wuhrer joined Sliders during the third season, going on to become a recurring character on the show. Her character Maggie Beckett became a firm favourite with fans.

Her next recurring television role came in 2006 on General Hospital, where she played Reese Marshall across nine episodes.

Wuhrer has more recently moved into voiceover work for superhero cartoons - working on animated projects including The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (2010 - 2012), Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths (2010), Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem (2015) and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (2018).

Charlie O'Connell - Colin Mallory, Officer O'Hara and Kit Richards

Jerry O'Connell's brother Charlie appeared in nineteen episodes of Sliders, playing Colin Mallory, Officer O'Hara and Kit Richards on the parallel universe show.

Appearances in a bunch of silly comedy movies followed - including Dude, Where's My Car? (2000) The New Guy (2002) and 2-Headed Shark Attack (2012). With no upcoming projects on his slate, his last role came in A Curry on an American Plate (2017), about an Indian restaurant threatened with closure.

Tembi Locke - Dr Diana Davis

Locke played Dr. Diana Davis across eighteen episodes of the fifth season of Sliders. She followed her turn on the show with recurring appearances in Raising Dad (2001 - 2002), Like Family (2002), Windfall (2006) and Eureka (2010 - 2012).

The actress will next be seen in the independent film Collusions, about five people in the legal and law enforcement world of LA, which is due for release later this year.
