There were a lot of great movies and TV shows in the 80s and many of them had actors that we haven’t seen since. However, back then, they were a part of our everyday lives and we often wonder what happened to them since. Here are 10 actors that we tracked down to give you their current status. Check it out:


1. Rick Moranis.

Rick Moranis played a series of funny roles including Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, Spaceballs and of course, Ghostbusters. When his wife died of cancer in 1991, Moranis left Hollywood behind to become a full-time father to his two children, Rachel and Mitchell.

This kid stole our hearts in the movie, E.T. the Extraterrestrial. He grew up to play several other roles in movies but most people don’t see him as the same person because he’s all grown up now.
