Part of me felt while watching Suite Life
That the writers had a strong bias for Cole over Dylan
As they gave Cole’s character of Cody the more important storylines, particularly his relationship drama and relegated Dylan’s character of Zack to mostly comedic side plot
It’s a shame, as I feel from a personality standpoint, Dylan/Zack outshined his brother

While maybe not as famous as the band's lead singer at the time, Bill Berry from R. E. M. quit the band to live and work on his farm in Georgia after a brain aneurysm nearly killed him. He has recently expressed some regret about the choice because he felt like he let the band down, but I'm sure anyone would question priorities and safety after such a scare.

Yay Phoebe Cates! I’ve been a fan of her husband Kevin for quite a long time (since 19 December 2008 from Despereaux. And I met him, too, at the Mesa Arts Center when I was 17. He was the nicest man I’ve ever met. I’m looking forward to the disclaimer miniseries. I would love to visit the blue tree boutique if ever I visit New York again in the future.

I'm surprised you left out Dolores Hart. She came to prominence costarring with Elvis Presley in Loving You, also costarred with him in Kid Creole, and did a number of other prominent movies such as Where the Boys Are. Then, at age 24 in 1963, as her star was still on the rise, she left it all behind to become a Benedictine nun.

I remeber being so obsessed with Bridget Fonda in my teens I just loved the way she walked her long legs always made her seem like she was floating and her pretty eyes and nose always blew me away. Her voice and her acting was all just so charming and sweet. so sad a tragic accident happened to her

Actually, Freddie Prinze Jr. 's disenchantment with acting allegedly came about because of his involvement with the TV series 24 during its last season in 2008. His difficulties with star Kiefer Sutherland were well known. It was around that time he decided to give up full-time acting.

Jack Gleeson (Joffrey) - I feel like this was a lose-lose situation for him. The better acting he did, the more people hated him and I'm sure a lot of that hate bled through to his real life. I wouldn't be surprised if he was type cast too since he did such a good job at being the bad guy.

Rick Moranis leaving Hollywood, aside from some voice over work, take take care of his kids after his wife died of cancer was very noble. I was very cute that he made a big deal about him showing up on social media and commercials in 2017 to let people know that he's not dead.

I cry every time I think about retiring. I sincerely apologize to everyone who applied for social security at this time after years of hard work and retirement and lost everything as a result of an unforeseen event. It's challenging especially for those who are retired.
reply

Fun fact about Freddie Prinze Jr, he has actually straight out said that working on the show 24 almost made him completely quit acting. He said Kiefer Sutherland was so completely insufferable and unprofessional that he didn’t want to work in the industry anymore.
reply

Its funny how some actors trash the role, film or show that made them famous in the hope that it will elevate their careers, only to realise no one cares. And then spend an enormous amount of time trying to claw back what got them famous in the first place.
reply

eh, some of these are a bit of a stretch as they just utilized their fame in a different way from acting but very much get fame from it. anyways, i'm surprised you guys didn't mention jake lloyd who basically was bullied so much he quit acting.
reply

The fans were so mean to Jack Gleeson, so many of them couldn't separate the actor from the role and send a barage of hate toward the poor boy. No surprise he no longer liked the role of Joffrey. Almost the same thing that happened to Jake Lloyd.
reply

My favorite Bridget Fonda movie is and will always be Lake Placid, sadly it wasn't included on here. Between her and Betty, they made that movie hilarious and I still pull it out randomly to this day and watch for a giggle.
reply

Bridget Fonda doesn't even look like Bridget Fonda Anymore. she's still one of my Favorite Fonda's(I can still watch Point of no return over & over till this day)Glad she seems happy with civilian life, good for her
reply

Segal isn't a sbig loss.
I honestly don't know why anyone would want to be in the spotlight anyway. It seems to me it's a bit of freedom being taken away. And your kids have no say in what the papparazzi does.

reply

I remember hearing that Michael Schoeffling was considered for the role of Superman in the early 90's. This was right before Nicolas Cage was cast in the Tim Burton Superman movie that didn't happen.
reply

As many have probably said already, in regard of Bridget Fonda, please do NOT confuse Godfather II and III as the other one is universally known as the best in the series and the other as rubbish.
reply

Shirley Temple had to deal with some horrible things like being taken advantage of and forced to cry for a scene (she was told by the director that her mother was kidnapped to make her cry)
reply

Couple of these are a stretch. Steven Segal being the biggest one. He appeared in movies until 2019, and was basically kicked out of America because of his ties to Vladimir Putin.
