I know he's retired but i miss him
 
Jeff Goldblum.jpg

Law and Order: Criminal Intent on USA. Basically forced into lead actor role after NBC/Universal contract issues with the show runners about two seasons ago.

Does theater, was in London in May this year and drove the "Reasonably Priced Car"/Chevy Ceed or whatever from Korea on Top Gear.

Compared to how big she was back in the day... Umm yeah she is nowhere near her peak.

What? Thesen still looks decent for pushing 35-40. She looks a lot better on White Collar than that cast shot does.

She was also on Fast Lane, you know that Fox show that got canceled two seasons in?

I don't really like her acting much, but I do have to admit she's pretty good looking and fits the fluffy/pretty actors-ness of White Collar.

Has she been in anything "big" for a while?

Really cute. Kind of wish she'd make a comeback. Though she was never really "here" if that makes sense. =P

And for a prediction of someone about to fall off the face of the earth:

dylan-walsh-20060831-157191.jpg


NipTuck is over. I think he was in one movie that did terribly. So yeah. >_>
 
Hive Mind or what?

That said, John Taylor Thomas quit acting, IIRC.

Zack Bryan/the older brother on Home Improvement is still acting, but in indie films/comedies.

The youngest one, the "goth" one, I don't know what the hell happened to him.

"Jill" was on some lifetime television movies, IIRC but dropped off the face of the Earth.

And I think we all know how Tim Allen turned out?

Rachel leigh Cook appeared in several psych episodes the previous season.

As the girlfriend, right?

Laressa O'leanik (10 things I hate about you, Alex Mack from "Secret World of Alex Mack") was also in the halloween episode a season or two ago (I think last years?) as a goth chick. Have to admit, I didn't notice it was her until someone I was watching with pointed her out. She made a pretty good goth chick. :lol

Dylan Walsh/"Sean Mcnamara" on Nip/Tuck.jpg

He was in that stupid thriller film "step dad" that bombed. He did that between seasons of Nip/Tuck. AFAIK, he was getting REALLY tired of acting in Nip/Tuck (and I can't blame him, Ryan Murphy was jumping ship to Glee and the writers simply weren't there to keep the drama and stuff going season later seasons after 3), and wanted to take a break. Same for Christian Troy/the dude from "Charmed."

In fact, I think most of them are taking a break, Nip/Tuck ended last year and some of them were on the show pretty much yearly.

Seeing Liz/Roma Mava (or however her last name is spelled) on Law and Order (I think this was EARLY, before Nip/Tuck) reruns on TNT was very weird. :lol

Michael Keaton?

I was going to say the same thing, but then I remembered he was in Toy Story 3.

Still hope his person makes a return to the screen soon. That guy was great.

Thora Birch, wtf happened?

I miss Thora Birch, too. She was in some shitty movie a year or so ago I think. There was a big fuss because she was going to do a sex scene, but her parents got the scene thrown out of the movie (which is funny as hell considering they used to be hardcore porn actors back in the day)

I don't know. I think every parent has done shit that they hope their kids will never do.

I saw the actress who played her sister in a random commercial a while back. It was a "blink and you'll miss it" appearance I had to confirm the next time I saw the ad.

Man she is so hot.
 
Most fall into a few categories.
1. They haven't disappeared, just doing things you don't watch.
2. Woman raising a family
3. Moved to behind the scenes stuff, mainly directing and producing.
4. Got rich and moved interests elsewhere
5. Scientology
 
Amanda Bynes retired and then swiftly un-retired, didn't she ?

I concur with your post's implication, though. She is sizzling.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas still acts and does some voice acting, but he's mostly attending college now IIRC.

The youngest kid, well, he appears to be auditioning for some sort of organic yogurt Willy Wonka role.
 
Amanda Bynes was just the "villainous Christian" in the movie 'Easy A'

It's still in theaters and it's very, very funny. Definitely worth checking out.

Although something seems different about Amanda's face to me, like she's had some work done or something. On the IMDB boards, some other people commented on the same thing...

Well, yeah that's true. I guess I just wanted to see her do the scene is all :lol

Anna Chlumsky went dark for a while, but she's also back and GOD DAMN hot as well.

I KNEW that girl was going to grow up to be a beautiful creature.
 
Sarah Michelle Gellar for sure.

I can't remember anything she's been in the last five years other than voicing April in that cg TMNT movie. I can't imagine it's that hard for her to get work, she's not that old and she's still attractive.
 
Misha Barton. Looked fanfuckingtastic in what little OC I saw. I was hoping I would see more of her since then.

Gaffers posted pictures of her. They were insanely harsh, if I remember right. She'd put on weight. I thought she still looked hot.

She is like a Mini Lohan these days spending all her time drunk and high.
 
Someone also mentioned John Goodman. Dude seems to take the roles as he wants 'em these days. He was Pop Racer in Speed Racer a couple years back and had a role in the HBO show Treme. I'm sure he's done a couple of other things here and there in the meantime.

WOW! So you think they have not actually disappeared?! What a relief.
 
Apparently he's gonna be in the new 3 Musketeers movie, but Orlando Bloom has seemed to disappear since the last Pirates movie.

That still counts as the darkest, most ignominious obscurity.
