Whatever happened to ... ?

fakearms123

Whenever I watch back over films I would watch as a kid or even as a teenager I would ask myself whatever happened to that guy/girl? This usually followed by me whipping out the laptop and googling for the person to see what they have been up to since then.

This happened twice yesterday, I don't know if many of you know the film Small Soldiers from the late 90's with the Gorgonites vs Commando Elite, well anyway as well as Kirsten Dunst there was another actor named Gregory Smith. He also starred in Harriet the Spy, well I remembered this actor from my childhood and checked wiki to see what he was up to and to my disappointment he has been doing sh*te low budget films for 10 years now and just to demonstrate how sh*te his career has become he is starring in a new film this year called "Hobo with a Shotgun" - description: The plot of Hobo With a Shotgun concerns a homeless man (Rutger Hauer) who becomes a violent, shotgun-wielding vigilante upon entering a crime-ridden city.

So have any of you wondered what has happened to "that actor you used to watch movies of but now haven't seen them in awhile and are kind of forgotten about"? Just google them up and see!

Well imdb says it's about A homeless vigilante blows away crooked cops, pedophile Santas, and other scumbags with his trusty pump-action shotgun.

You can't go wrong with pedo Santas

I think he was last seen here

In fairness it could be worse. Rutger Hauer has always done low budget straight to DVD movies alongside the blockbusters and they usually get a cult following.

Edit: And just looked up Hobo with a shotgun. It's taken from one of the Grindhouse spoof trailers so it's guaranteed to get a decent following.

Hopefully rotting away in a shallow grave out in the Nevada desert with every print of that horrendous, walking advertisement of a "movie"...................might give it a watch later :pac:

What about poor Fred Savage? Good grief, post-Wonder Years weren't kind to him as pretty much everyone has had a go at him at one time or another.

That was Dolph Lundgren.

Rick Moranis - he played the middle aged nerd stereotype in every movie ever made which required one in the 80s, then he disappeared, im guessing the NWO thought he was getting too big for his boots and put him back in his place

Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?

Uriel.

...Saturday night
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright?
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine...

I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go
And listen to the music on the radio
A saxophone was blowin' on a rock & roll show.
You climbed in the back seat, you really had a good time.

Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n' roll
:pac:

What? He was in the Honey I Blew Up@Shrunk the Kid(s) films and in Parenthood and The Flintstones! And one of the Ghostbusters films! And so far as I know he retired.

The most shocking one of these is that Josh Brolin was the big brother in the goonies

Doesn't seem to do much these days. Just found when they broke up recently, but he was going out with Mila Kunis for nearly 9 years. Talk about punching above your weight :eek:

"He left the film industry in 1997, six years after the 1991 loss of his wife, Anne, to liver cancer. He later explained that he "pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97. "I'm a single parent and I just found that it was too difficult to manage raising my kids and doing the traveling involved in making movies. So I took a little bit of a break. And the little bit of a break turned into a longer break, and then I found that I really didn't miss it".
