re: Actors that have disappeared

Maybe it was Norm who said that we should notice that the planet would be spinning slightly faster now that Philip Michael Thomas has left the face of the Earth

Miami Vice ran until 89.

Probably Dennis Miller. He did Update from 85-91.

Norm didn’t take over until 94.

Kill Bill was on AMC the other day, where the hell has Uma Thurman gone?

I was reading that she wrecked driving a car during filming Kill Bill that destroyed her knee and hip, she blamed Tarantino for years but they’ve apparently made up.

Idk if that was the reason but she hasn’t been in a mainstream movie in 10 years

Uma Thurman is 54 years old.

Shed be too expensive as a supporting character. She doesn't need the work and may even feel its "beneath" her.


A lot of the disappearing women posted in this thread simply got old and are far less recognizable than their heyday.

The entire cast of the office except for Krasinski and Steve Carell

Kevin has (had?) a podcast that was solely interviews with other cast members about the show. This is apparently a new-ish genre of podcast and while sometimes provides interesting content, is often just sad. I think the saddest version is the Dana Carvey (speaking of people who disappeared) David Spade podcast about SNL.

I'll throw another one out: Chris Tucker. I think he made so much money from the Jackie Chan movies he basically retired. He may also be keeping a low profile because of his association with Epstein.

Cuba Gooding Jr.

Such a great upcoming actor back in the day.. “A Few Good Men”, “Jerry Maguire”, and “Men of Honor”.

Jack Black was in Super Mario Brothers. He did a lot of touring with Tenacious D last year too.

---

Has also been in some commercials that are currently circulating. Also was in Kung Fu Panda 4 just came out this year.

I haven't seen Natalie Wood in forever.

She would have been great in The Shape of Water, Beaches, and Murder on the Nile.

Women are hot stuff when they're young but their star burns as quick as they age.

That's how it works in Hollywood. By and large, women are cast for their looks over their acting ability because studio executives know that teenage boys will come to the theater in droves if some smoking hot chick is acting opposite the A-list action star. There are notable exceptions but for every Helena Bonham Carter you get like six or seven Megan Fox's.

She got old? Isn't that basically it. Women are hot stuff when they're young but their star burns as quick as they age.

She also married an NHL All Star who made millions of dollars.

That's another feature of starlets disappearing. They capitalize on their looks and fame and marry a rich dude so they don't have to work. Sometimes when you look them up on the internet you find out they married some hedge fund starter or something.

Tobey Maguire comes to mind. Not sure what was his last movie I have seen him in.

Josh Hartnett
Justin Long
What has Jessica Biel and Cameron Diaz been doing?
