00:00We brought in an actor we've all gone too long without, Rick Moranis.
00:30and Ashley Olsen, started their careers as babies sharing the role of Michelle Tanner in the ABC comedy Full House.
00:39While the series was airing, they appeared in other movies and TV shows,
00:43and ended up founding their own production company in 1993.
00:48However, when the 2000s came, they put their eyes on a very different path...
00:53Fashion.
01:01In 2006, they launched their luxury fashion brand, The Row,
01:05and soon left Hollywood completely to focus on it.
01:08Although from time to time they still appear in the news,
01:11Mary-Kate and Ashley no longer attract the attention of the media as before, which is good for them.
01:21During a short period in the 1980s,
01:24Michael Scheffling seemed to be about to become a Hollywood superstar.
01:29His debut as Jack Ryan in the 1984 movie Sixteen Candles,
01:34made him a handsome teenager.
01:48He was the perfect trampoline for a flourishing career,
01:51but then things didn't go well for him,
01:53although he starred in several movies such as Vision Quest and Mermaids.
02:00Red socks on the door?
02:03That used to be my room.
02:04Scheffling never reached the level of fame that many believed he would.
02:08Between work and work as an actor, he dedicated himself to carpentry and began to make furniture.
02:14This ended up becoming his full-time career,
02:17as he stopped acting completely after Wild Hearts Can Be Broken in 1991.
02:23Nora, I love you.
02:25Number 18.
02:26Nicky Blonsky.
02:27Many Hollywood actors dream of having the kind of opportunity that Nicky Blonsky had.
02:32When he was a student, he auditioned for Hairspray
02:35and surpassed more than 1,000 applicants for the role of Tracy Turnblad.
02:43He could not have asked for a better debut on the screen,
02:45as he was awarded two Critics' Awards and a nomination to the Golden Globe.
02:50But maintaining that momentum was quite a challenge.
02:53Despite being the protagonist of H.U.G.E. by ABC Family,
02:57the series only lasted a season and the roles ended a little later.
03:09Later, he obtained a license in cosmetology
03:12and began working as a stylist and makeup artist in his hometown.
03:16Although he still appears sporadically in movies,
03:19he has not exceeded the level of fame he had in his day.
03:22I wish I could just...
03:24jump through the window,
03:26be with you.
03:28You know what I mean?
03:33If you jump, I'll catch you.
03:35Number 17.
03:36Angus T. Jones.
03:38Angus T. Jones became a well-known name in the 2000s
03:42thanks to his role in the popular CBS comedy Two and a Half Men.
03:47I'm hungry.
03:48Is this going to be a problem?
03:52No.
03:57I guess not.
03:58During this period, he was the best-paid child actor on television,
04:03with an income of $300,000 per episode.
04:07At the end of 2012, at the peak of his fame,
04:10he suddenly announced that he would stop appearing on the show.
04:14This was because he had been baptized
04:16and he disliked the mature content of the comedy,
04:19which he later described as...
04:21dirty.
04:26In the end, Jones left the show after 10 seasons
04:29and retired from the spotlight.
04:31Since then, he has worked as an executive in a multimedia company,
04:34but now he expresses his desire to act again someday.
04:38Number 16.
04:40Amanda Bynes.
04:41This former child star jumped to fame
04:43in the Nickelodeon sketches series All Dead.
04:46Before having her own show,
04:48The Amanda Show.
04:53Then she became a teenage idol
04:55with roles in successful comedies like
04:57Big Fat Liar and What a Girl Wants.
05:00In 2010, after a prominent role in Easy A,
05:03she announced that she would take an indefinite break from acting.
05:14Later, she faced a series of legal problems
05:17and fought against a substance use disorder,
05:20which led her to be under custody.
05:23Despite overcoming these challenges
05:25and putting an end to this supervision,
05:27Bynes does not seem willing to return to the screen.
05:29Instead, in 2023,
05:31she decided to start a new career as a manicurist.
05:44Number 15.
05:45Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
05:47Jonathan Taylor Thomas achieved immense fame in the 90s,
05:51adorning the covers of countless magazines
05:54and the walls of the rooms of many teenagers.
06:02He gained popularity thanks to his role as Randy Taylor
06:05in the ABC comedy Home Improvement,
06:08or Improving the House in Latin America.
06:10He gained more recognition for being the voice
06:12of the young English Simba of The Lion King
06:14and the lead character of the 1996 movie
06:18The Adventures of Pinocchio.
06:24In 1998, he decided to leave Home Improvement
06:27and get a title at Harvard.
06:37Although his presence under the spotlight
06:39has decreased considerably since then,
06:42Thomas maintains his decision.
06:44He is currently more focused on working behind the scenes
06:47as a director and screenwriter.
07:01Number 14. Phoebe Cates.
07:03The 80s were an important time for teenage movies,
07:07many of which became classics
07:10and launched their young actors to the stars.
07:23One of those emerging stars was Phoebe Cates.
07:26Born in a family of beginners in Hollywood,
07:28she began her career as a dancer and model
07:31before venturing into acting.
07:33She jumped to fame with Fast Times at Richmond High in 1982,
07:38followed by another success with Gremlins two years later.
07:48In 1989, she married actor Kevin Kline,
07:52with whom she had two children.
07:54In the mid-90s, she decided to stop acting
07:57and give her family a chance to raise.
08:00Finally, she opened a boutique in New York
08:02called Blue Tree, which she continues to supervise.
08:09I think this would be perfect for her.
08:10This is the perfect husband bracelet.
08:12Number 13. Steven Seagal.
08:15Love him or hate him, but you can't deny the fact
08:18that Steven Seagal had Hollywood eating out of his hand
08:21during the 90s.
08:23You're not a cook.
08:27Yeah, well...
08:31I also cook.
08:32At the beginning of the decade, he was unknown,
08:35but in the end he had become one of the most prominent
08:38action stars in Hollywood,
08:40even though he basically played the same character
08:42in all the movies.
08:44As the 21st century advanced,
08:46his relevance decreased significantly
08:49and he was relegated to a series of ridiculously bad
08:51direct-to-video premieres.
08:59At the same time, his association with Russia became stronger
09:02and in 2016 he was awarded the citizenship of the country.
09:06He has not appeared in any movie since 2019.
09:09The following year, he was named as a special envoy
09:12from Russia to the United States.
09:15Number 12. Bridget Fonda.
09:17Born in the midst of the famous dynasty of Fonda actors,
09:20Bridget began her career at the tender age of 5.
09:24During the late 80s and 90s,
09:27she worked tirelessly starring in notable movies
09:30such as The Godfather Part III and Jackie Brown.
09:47Fonda continued to act until 2002,
09:49when she abruptly decided to retire from the spotlight
09:52to lead a much calmer life.
09:55The following year, she suffered a serious car accident
09:58that fractured her back
10:00and later married the film composer Danny Elfman.
10:04Since his retirement, Fonda has maintained a very low profile
10:08and only reappeared in 2009 for the premiere of Inglourious Basterds
10:12by Quentin Tarantino.
10:14When asked if he was considering returning to the big screen,
10:17he completely discarded the idea.
10:25Number 11. Shirley Temple.
10:27During the Great Depression, Shirley Temple became a beacon of hope
10:31and joy for many Americans.
10:41Temple jumped to fame as a child actress in the 1930s,
10:45captivating the public around the world
10:47with her talent, charm and characteristic curly hair.
10:50At the height of her career,
10:52she was one of Hollywood's greatest sensations
10:54and the main attraction of the box office.
11:02However, as Temple aged,
11:05her box office success decreased,
11:07which led her to retire from the big screen at the age of 22.
11:11Then she dedicated herself to politics
11:13and was appointed delegate of the United Nations General Assembly
11:17by President Richard Nixon.
11:19Later she was ambassador of the United States in Ghana and Czechoslovakia.
11:31Number 10. Daniel Day-Lewis.
11:33Day-Lewis has always been very reserved and introverted.
11:50Far from the brilliant reflectors of Hollywood or London,
11:53the actor has spent more than 20 years
11:55living in the quiet Irish village of Annamoo.
11:58He is also known for taking long breaks between one movie and another,
12:02like the five-year interval between Lincoln and Phantom Threat.
12:19However, this was supposedly the last of Day-Lewis,
12:23as he announced his retirement in June 2017,
12:26without offering any explanation
12:28apart from that the impulse to leave him grew in him
12:31and that he wanted to explore the world in another way.
12:34That said, some people believe that it was due to depression,
12:37since it is said that he had a very great sadness.
12:45Number 9. Dylan Sprouse.
12:47Dylan and his brother Cole,
12:49the children's actors famous for their roles in Big Daddy
12:52and The Sid Life of Zack and Cody,
12:55have enjoyed a constant job as actors almost all their lives.
13:06But while Cole got the role of Jughead in Riverdale
13:09and starred in the 2019 movie Five Feet Apart,
13:13Dylan took a radically different path in life.
13:17In 2011, he began studying video game design
13:20at the Gallatin School of Individualized Studies
13:23and graduated in 2015.
13:25Three years later, he opened the All-Wise Mathery in Brooklyn.
13:48He has also had some roles as an actor,
13:50although in smaller and more intimate projects,
13:53nothing to do with the great jobs he used to do.
13:57Number 8. Freddie Prinze Jr.
13:59In the late 90s and early 2000s,
14:02you couldn't enter a movie theater
14:04without seeing the face of this actor on one or six posters,
14:07but that changed around 2004,
14:09just after the premiere of Scooby-Doo 2.
14:17But it's all right.
14:18We just need to stay strong and control our work fast.
14:33Who are you?
14:34I'm the guy who was stealing that crate.
14:36Hey, look, I stole this stuff,
14:39whatever it is, fair and square.
14:42And you made it pretty far,
14:43but I've got plans for that crate.
14:47But not the kind that attracts paparazzi.
14:50And he has also focused his attention on other fields.
14:53He co-wrote a cookbook with Rachel Worthon
14:56and has worked as a producer and director of WWE.
15:00Yes, really.
15:11Number 7. Jack Gleeson.
15:13You may not know Jack Gleeson by his name,
15:16but you surely know his face.
15:18His striking face.
15:23That's right.
15:24Geoffrey Baratheon.
15:25Gleeson earned fame and acclaim
15:27for playing the boy Baratheon,
15:29uh, Lannister,
15:30but it seems that the play wasn't his.
15:40Gleeson announced his retirement after finishing Game of Thrones
15:43and declared to Entertainment Weekly
15:45that he had stopped enjoying it
15:47and didn't want to turn it into a career for life.
15:50He later studied theology and philosophy
15:53at Trinity College in Dublin,
15:55where he graduated in 2015.
15:57Five years later he returned to the screen,
15:59although in much less commercial roles
16:01than those he gained popularity with.
16:11Number 6. Mara Wilson.
16:14The kids of the 90s will undoubtedly remember Mara Wilson
16:17as that adorable actress from movies like
16:20Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda.
16:32Unfortunately, Wilson quickly disillusioned himself
16:35with the performance and the fame it entailed.
16:37In an entry in the 2012 blog,
16:39he discussed the various reasons for his early retirement,
16:43including the lack of creative freedom,
16:46the ridiculous aspect of fame
16:48and the dehumanizing audition process.
17:08Although he left the performance behind,
17:10he remains in the creative field.
17:11He lent his voice to the series Boo Jack Hurstman
17:14and the famous podcast Welcome to Night Valley.
17:17He also wrote a book and a play.
17:20The latter was presented at the French Festival
17:22International in New York in 2013.
17:31Number 5. Jim Hackman.
17:33Jim Hackman, a legend long before playing
17:36Little Bill Daggett in Unforgiven,
17:39a role that earned him a BAFTA, an Oscar and a Golden Globe,
17:43is notoriously reserved and rarely gives interviews.
18:01Maybe he doesn't see it necessary
18:03or maybe he just doesn't want to do it.
18:05Anyway, during one of his rare encounters
18:08with Larry Fink in 2004, he announced that he would retire.
18:21This left Welcome to Muspert a political satire
18:24in which he co-starred with Ray Romano
18:26as his last film,
18:28except for a narration for a Smithsonian documentary.
18:31Since then, he has focused on writing
18:34and has published two novels,
18:36Payback at Morning Peak and Pursuit.
18:47Number 4. Rick Moranis.
18:49After gaining fame with the Canadian series
18:52of comedy sketches Second City Television,
18:54Rick Moranis was successful in the big Hollywood productions
18:58with prominent roles in franchises like Ghostbusters
19:06and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,
19:08he quickly became a well-known name.
19:19Unfortunately, in 1991, his wife Ann Belsky died
19:23and left them alone raising their two small children.
19:26The actor then made the difficult decision
19:29to move away from his prosperous Hollywood career
19:31to focus on them.
19:33Although Moranis has been absent from live-action films,
19:36he has lent his voice to animation projects
19:39and has appeared with Ryan Reynolds
19:41in an ad for Mint Mobile.

19:52as eccentric inventor Wayne Szalinski
19:54in the next sequel to Shrunk.

20:09for his leading role in Malcolm, the middleman,

20:44They currently co-direct a store specializing

20:52Number 2. Cary Grant.
20:54Grant was one of the greatest protagonists
20:56in the history of Hollywood.
21:04He could do anything,
21:06from soft and silly romantic roles
21:08to the dark and introspective characters
21:10of Alfred Hitchcock's films.
21:12In fact, he was the first person

21:24to raise his newborn daughter, Jennifer, in peace.
21:27By then he had also disillusioned himself
21:29with the direction of Hollywood,
21:31because he believed that the golden age,
21:33of which it was an important part,
21:35was coming to an end.
21:39Soon he moved on to business work
