So why not take a trip back with us to when "The Real World" was set in Seattle – when the cast lived at Pier 70, when Stephen slapped Irene, and when they had "jobs" as DJs at KNDD and fish tossers at the Pike Place Market.

It's been 16 years since the show aired in 1998 – where are the actors now? Take a look at the slideshow above.
