Actors and Actresses that were everywhere in the 80's/90's but vanished - GoFuckYourself.com

Sarah_Jayne · 01-09-2008, 04:07 AM

I was watching Aliens last night and this guy was in it:

Paul Reiser:

He was in a ton of stuff in the 80's and 90's but I can't remember the last time I saw him him something.

So, who are other actors and actresses that were all over the place in the 80's and 90's but have pretty much vanished.

I will also throw this gem into the pot:

And amazingly not one of them is another Police Academy movie.

Rita Rudner ..another name I haven't heard in a long time

tony286 · 01-09-2008, 09:23 AM

Well Rita and Paul are probably doing the casino circuit. Paul is a very funny standup, he is 77th in the 100 greatest comedians of all time.

Her husband (I don't know if they are still married) is British and she would show up in UK stuff now and then such as the film Peter's Friends but not for a long time. When I went to LA when I was a kid I was in the studio audience for some very short lived sketch show she did with Leeza Gibbons of all people.

A few years ago I would have said Patrick Dempsey. He was pretty big in the 80's for a while with those movies he was in, then after a string of complete bombs he was in nowhere'sville for nearly a decade.

Now suddenly he's "the man" on Grey's Anatomy.

we took our little nice to see Enchanted over the holidays starring Patrick Dempsey and about 1/2 way through the movie I leaned over and whispered "extra anchovies" to my husband lol. Remember that awful pizza delivery movie he was in where he was a gigolo? I think it was on HBO about 25 times a week for 5 years.

Andy Servers4Less · 01-10-2008, 09:19 AM

Pretty sure Guttenberg was directing Twink movies for a while.

Aweful? That flick RULES! :D

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097790/

Further to the topic... I've noticed that a lot of the old "brat pack" who were the shit in the 80's have now fallen into the obcurity of the B list.

Rob Lowe
Ally Sheedy
Andrew McCarthy
Mare Winningham

You see them pop from time to time but nothing major. Their St. Elmo's Fire days of glory are far behind them.

I thought rob Lowe was on a hit show right now...

yep, he left the West Wing after 6 years and now he's on Brothers and sisters. I have never seen either but I know they're popular.

I just want to find Jake Ryan from Pretty in Pink

Can't Buy Me Love was on HBO even more than Loverboy. Loverboy had Cher's boyfriend at the time in it, I think? That Stalone lookalike.

Richard Greico -- had a budding career for a while, then fizzle city.

Lorenzo Lamas -- What can you say about this guy? Expectations were high, results were low.

True, but at least he is not broke ass doing a reality show!

Winnie's pic was just up on TMZ recently. She is very pretty and very smart. I *think* writing books. Let me see if I can find it

The best story of rags to riches, and back to rags, had to be Jan Michael Vincent.

He was the dude from the Air Wolf tv series.

I think he actually ended up homeless, living on the street. I am going to have to google it now.

01-10-2008, 11:13 AM

here's a good pic of him. sounds like he is a major alcoholic and on death's door.

Brother Bilo · 01-10-2008, 11:36 AM

ya, I remember seeing some kind of true hollywood story or something about Jan Michael Vincent a while back. He's a fucking disaster. After Airwolf ended, nobody gave a fuck about him anymore, he couldn't take it or whatever.

Sucks when you get used to the spotlight, then completely fall out of it.
