Lifetime's 'The Wrong Stepfather', as the name suggests, circles around a stepdad who loves his new family and will stop at nothing to keep them safe. Will this raise concerns among the family? While the mystery uncovers tonight, let's take a look at the cast who have put in their all to ensure the story sounds convincing. 

Vivica A Fox

She isn't new to the movie business. Vivica has starred in numerous roles that have stayed with not just her fans but movie enthusiasts as well. She began her journey with soap operas in 1988 with 'Days of our Lives'. Even though her stint on the show was short-lived, she impressed critics and audiences alike, managing to land a host of other projects.

Over the years, Vivica has portrayed a varied range of roles that is a testimony of the sheer amount of talent and acting chops this woman has to offer to the world. She is not only interested in bringing characters to life in front of the camera but is also deeply invested in what goes on behind it. With 'The Wrong' series, she has turned producer. 

Krista Allen

Remember Billie Reed of 'Days of Our Lives'? And the smoldering Jenna Avid from 'Baywatch'? That's her. Even though she plays mother to a teenage daughter in 'The Wrong Stepfather,' Krista has managed to keep that charm intact. She hasn't aged a day and yet, is hitting 50. Krista has worked on some very popular films with noted co-stars such as Jim Carrey ('Liar Liar') and Adam Sandler ('Anger Management'). 

Having worked decades in the film industry, Krista made the decision of branching out. She took up stand-up comedy. It wasn't a bad move given how she has experience with that genre in 'Significant Mother'.

Corin Nemec

His first acting parts came in the early 1980s. He starred in 'Webster' and 'Sidekicks'. He has been in the movie business for a while now and has done a string of TV movies in the last few years. He had a small part in 2017's 'Shooter' and 'NCIS: Los Angeles' as well. 

Catch the premiere of 'The Wrong Stepfather' on Lifetime on July 31, 8/7 c.
