Season 5 contestant Jennie Garth now plays a single mom on '90210'

Admit it. You had no idea who some of the former Dancing With the Stars celebs were until they competed on the show. After all, Dancing with the Stars doesn't exactly have a reputation of casting A-list stars. B-list? Maybe. C or D-list? Most likely.

But no matter what a celeb's Hollywood status is when they sign up for Dancing With the Stars, it's almost guaranteed that competing on the show will boost their popularity. Over the years, we've seen previously ignored stars become hot topics on the pages of countless entertainment magazines. What a difference a reality show makes!

Dancing with the Stars alumni also take advantage of new career opportunities after the show is over. (Interestingly, the most popular career move after Dancing seems to be hosting.) Let's find out at what some of the Dancing with the Stars alumni are up to these days.

First up: Cameron Mathison.
