The likes of Frankie Muniz or Vanilla Ice weren’t exactly destined to last forever in the spotlight, but we are wondering what happened to them afterwards? While we’re left with an empty hole of has-beens or simply those who decided that they want to pursue a different career, they’re left in a tighter spot.

Joe Pesci

When he was there, we couldn’t get enough of him, and now that he is somewhat absent from the movie scene, we wonder where our beloved thief from the Home Alone movies went. The actor has an Academy Award in the Best Actor category for his amazing performance in the film Goodfellas, which came out in 1990. Born in 1943, he had aged, and so went into retirement from the acting scene in 1999, stating his desire to pursue his passion for music. He did star in four more on-screen roles after that, including The Irishman, but practically, his acting days are over.
