Now he IS somebody that we used to know.

But I heard he sticks to smaller roles.

Steve Guttenberg.

Boraxo: This one bothers me. Police Academy 6 left me hanging and I might not ever see a 7

Besides Bryan Cranston, like all the cast of Malcom in the Middle.

One who literally disappeared was Joe Pichler. He was in one of the Beethoven movies. Back in 2006 when he was 18, he disappeared after spending time at his friends house and his car was found the car park of a local restaurant. There was a note in the car, presumably written by him which stated how he wished he was a better brother. Police believe it to be a s*****e note. Despite this, they've never found a body nor any other trace of him. Most likely he's dead by now.

Leelee Sobieski. She was a bit of a celebrity crush for me back in the day. From the look of her IMDb she’s barely been in anything for the last decade or so. Her last credited movie was a Turkish made for TV movie in 2018.

I always thought she was so beautiful.

For me its Martin Lawrence. I feel like I used to see him everywhere but I don't know what he's up to nowadays.
