2010 was the last film for Jack Nicholson, but he's old and probably doesn't give a frick.

Chris Tucker has only been in 1 movie since Rush Hour 3 in 2007. And that one movie was the Silver Linings film back in 2012.

Freddie Prinze Jr. was very popular with the ladies not long ago, but he hasn't appeared in a movie since 2008. What happened?


Who else?

Rick Moranis and Joe Pesci immediately come to mind, I miss those guys.


ETA:

Rick Moranis hasn't been onscreen since 1997 and Joe Pesci has only been in 2 movies since 1998.

Josh Hartnett

Even though he is on Penny Dreadful on Showtime now.

Gotta admire the guy though. Was on the verge of being the next big megastar and said "frick it I'm out"

Chris Tucker is back doing stand up comedy. He didn't do any movies between Rush Hour 2 and 3. He got all religious for a while.

Freddy Prinze Jr actually worked for WWE a couple of years ago. He did a season of 24 too.

I hate when someone thinks their response ends the thread, but it's laughable when they are wrong.

When did Hartnett stop?

He's an Indie movie guy

At least one movie a year going back to 1998.

I read an article recently that said he semi-retired from acting to raise his kids after his wife died. I think he'd come back if the right role was there.

Speaking on comedian Adam Carolla's podcast last week, the 88-year-old director said now was the perfect time to revisit the madcap space spoof, given the upcoming reboot of the "Star Wars" franchise.

He even had a title ready to go: "Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money" — a reference to a joke in the first film.
quote:

Brooks has talked about making "Spaceballs 2" in the past, telling Parade magazine in a May 2014 interview that he'd never shoot a frame without Moranis on board.


Make it happen!!!

His kids eventually have to become adults. I think we'll eventually see him back on the screen.

Slater's comeback is the TV show Mr Robot. He's pretty awesome in that role.

WTF happened to Steve Guttenberg. Dude was everywhere in the late 80's/early 90's. The it was like "poof" he's gone.
