Across 94 episodes, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha go through their fair share of ups and downs while trying to navigate their lives.
With the many relationships each of them goes through, it's not surprising that there was a revolving door of one-off characters that were never heard from again. What is surprising is how many of these guest stars went on to become huge stars.
Like we've done with "Grey's Anatomy" and "Friends" before it, keep scrolling for the surprising stars that appeared on "Sex and the City" whose roles range from iconic to less-than-memorable.
Matthew McConaughey played a fictionalized version of himself.
McConaughey appears in the 13th episode of season three, entitled "Escape to New York." Carrie flies out to LA to potentially turn her columns into a movie, and none other than McConaughey is interested in playing Mr. Big.
These two would reunite on the big screen in 2006's rom-com "Failure to Launch."
Elizabeth Banks appeared briefly during season three.
The "Pitch Perfect" star only appears in one scene of the episode "Politically Erect," the second episode of season three. She plays the fiancée of a man that Charlotte is hitting on at a political fundraiser, and ends up complaining to about how she wants to settle down.
Bradley Cooper's first acting gig ever was his role as Jake in a season two episode.
After a disastrous photo shoot, Carrie meets Cooper's character (it's his first acting role!) in a bar when she's looking for a lighter. The two hang out all night until she sees her terrible photo from the shoot on a New York Magazine cover with the headline "Single and Fabulous?," leading her to have an identity crisis.
Cooper would reunite with Sarah Jessica Parker in "Failure to Launch," and also stars in "He's Just Not That Into You," an ensemble rom-com based on a line of dialogue from the show.
