Did he fucking die? Did he retire? Has he done ANYTHING since Lethal Weapon 4?

He retired, I think he sings now.

Funny you should ask Syd, I was watching Home Alone the other night wondering where many of the actors in the film had gone.

Whatever did Christopher Loyd do with himself after those 1-800-collect commercials?

He did some great stuff on Funny Or Die, but other than that, not much.

And, Pesci has two movies coming up. However, it does appear that he decided to take a 10 year break from Hollywood. I like to imagine that he spent it acting exactly like his character from Casino. Beating people with random objects and getting head from random woman in parked cars.

I know he's going to be in something next year, but who knows. The only thing I remember is his cameo is TGS due to De Niro being the director.

This whole retirement thing could've avoided if he never made "8 Heads in a Dufflebag".

While we're on "where the fuck are they now?" I nominate Rick Moranis. He was in that Brother Bear BS, but I want Louis Tully/Dark Helmet/Wayne Szalinski back!

Moranis's wife died, so he retired from acting to raise his kids full-time. He has put out a few country albums though.

Yeah, that was 19 years ago. His kids are all grown up now. Time to squeeze into the Ghostbuster's suit.

I nominate Gene Wilder for "Where The Hell They Go?". He's still alive... somewhere.

Joe Pesci, along with De Niro and Bruce Willis, are probably the most believable actors I've ever seen.

I have no doubt in my mind that Joe actually does walk around pistol-whipping people, dropping F-Bombs and stabbing people in the throat with pens.

In fact, I don't want to live in a world in which this isn't the case.

Last time I saw Gene Wilder was in some shitty Alice in Wonderland made for TV movie, and that was at least 10 years ago.

Isn't Gene Wilder like 80?

He is 77. Rick Moranis reunited with Dave Thomas for a Bob and Doug reunion a few years back.

Joe Pesci was skating on the typecasting thin ice.

I thought Pesci did a good job in "With Honors" with Brenden Fraser. I assume the role was written for Robin Williams, but it wasn't a piece of crap. That was a total departure for his usual wise guy role.

Chirstopher Lloyd is still around, and doing stuff. His last big roles were in 1994, with Camp Nowhere and The Pagemaster.

Since that time he has done a lot of TV guest spots on shows like Criminal Intent, Chuck, The West Wing, Spin City, Numb3rs, Ed, Malcolm in the Middle, and King of the Hill.

He was also main cast on the shortlived series Stacked and Clubhouse, and voiced the primary villain, Hacker, on the educational cartoon series Cyberchase.

He's also appeared in a bunch of the less than spectacular movies.

But above all that, he appeared in the 2002 movie Interstate 60, which is completely fucking awesome.

Wasn't he in Baby Geniuses 2? The fact that he was in the original and didn't kill himself only shows you how truly ballsy he is.

He was also in the short lived tremors tv show.

Hah, still can't believe someone actually cleared Baby Geniuses 2 to be made.

I agree with Gene Wilder, I heard he is just a bitter, old asshole now.

Damn dude, the man has lymphoma and had his first wife die of cancer. Give him a break, you'd probably be a bitter asshole too.

Gene Wilder apparently writes novels now.

I knew that he was married to Gilda Radner, I just wasn't aware that they were married when she died.

What ever happened to Andrew Dice Clay? He was the most successful stand-up comic in the world from 1989-1991. Then, after a successful career spanning two decades, he just disappeared! Bring him back!

He's gotten kicked off CNN a few times, other than that I haven't seen him. I still own an Andrew Dice Clay stand-up on VHS, recorded off HBO I think many, many moons ago.

Posted: Jun 16 2010 07:34 pm

This is the last thing I remember seeing him in, circa 1995:
