And continuing with the J theme, was Jm J. Bullock ever in anything after the 1980s Hollywood Squares? He was on (the fan-made) Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour:

Bobbie Gentry? Just spent a few (VERY MEMORABLE) years recording in the late '60s/early '70s, then did a self-exile from the business. Has not done anything in the public eye since, really.

Roger described him as "fragile" some time back. He felt that John never got over Freddie's death

Whatever happened to Geena Davis? She used to be in movies, but now she's not in movies anymore. She's attractive enough but when she smiles you see too much gum. Not a good tooth-to-gum ratio. She married a plastic surgeon (NO JOKES) in 2001 and has had a few kids. Except for a TV show in 2005-6 on NBC where she played the POTUS (I swear, I was coming in here to ask when that was cancelled, then horrified to learn the show's been off the air for 10 years) her roles have been limited, mostly TV. A lot of people manage to leave because they actually invested their money and can afford to live without constant work - or they were part of something that's provided great residuals for many years and then start working again when that money begins to fade (for example: I've seen one of the 7th HEAVEN girls showing up in TV movies here & there, after years of probably doing well with a normal life funded by 7th HEAVEN's syndication residuals) - or they just manage to achieve a life outside Hollywood (get married, find a new calling) and just don't feel that urge to go back at all.

John Deacon wrote some of the most well know (and better) Queen songs, (with bohemian rhapsody being the exception cos they all worked on that) but yeah, you're my best friend, another one bites the dust, i want to break free, under pressure, the show must go one, miracle, don't stop me now, we are the champions, we will rock you, someone to love, stone cold crazy.....and a tonne more. i think by "Broken Man" Brian may mean, "he likes to stay at home and count his money" Deacon's a major recluse, always has been. He never dealt with fame very well. yep true, doens't make he a broken man though

Bridget Fonda hasn't done anything since 2002. Married Danny Elfman and had a son so don't know if she just decided to be a full time mother.

Anthony Michael Hall. Last i saw him was playing the villain of the week on the short-lived "No Ordinary Family". I know he was considered a punchline because of the 1985-86 season of SNL, but you'd think he could still get some decent acting gigs (that season didnt seem to hurt the careers of the other actors from that season, all of whom had steady work post-SNL). He had a semi-prominent role as a reporter in The Dark Knight, but yeah, that's the first and last I remember hearing about him for a while.

As far as acting goes, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and up until Goosebumps, Jack Black.
Also, apart from Dumb and Dumber To, you rarely see Jim Carrey either, or he is often unrecognizable like in Kickass 2, it's weird to see these once comedy giants rarely appear in movies now.

Mike Myers basically "assholed" himself out of the business, didn't he? I've always heard that, for as funny as he is, he's kind of a jerk and a pain to work with.

I can actually understand guys like Brendan Fraser and Chris Tucker just disappearing. If you make $10 million for 10 weeks work, why keep working until you're a senior citizen? Once you stop enjoying yourself... stop doing it. Take tiny roles, lower profile roles, no roles at all... whatever floats your boat. Tucker is definitely in great financial shape, but Fraser is badly struggling. Fraser has to pay 50, 000 per month in alimony.

He's got a radio show on UK station Magic FM, so he's still in public eye of sorts. He's just not got the same profile he had in the late 80s. Does the name Erin Moran mean anything? She played Joanie Cunningham in Happy Days and the short lived Joanie Loves Chachi, and then fell off the face of the Earth. I love that urban legend about Joanie Loves Chachi being the most popular show ever in Korea, but in Korea, Chachi supposedly translates to penis. Fantastic! I can only imagine their disappointment when it turned out to be family friendly fodder.

Oprah needs to send people HERE to cast for OWN's Where Are They Now show. Cause the people she has there aren't totally obscure, to say the least.

for the poster who said Rick Moranis, I heard on The Nerdist episode he did a few years ago, he said he retired from acting after his wife died and was possibly going to reprise his role as Louis Tully in the Ghostbusters Video Game.

Either that or he made enough from the Shrek, Austin Powers and Wayne's World franchises to live off of forever.
