What’s going on Youtube, I’m your host Joce and welcome back to top 10 beyond the
screen.
If you haven’t already, make sure you’re following us on our new social media pages,
they are linked down below.
And of course, don’t forget.
It’s tradition around here that if you stick around until the end of this video you can
join me as I respond to some of your comments.
Today, one of our lists continues with a part 2.
Every single day we get all the celebrity updates, news, scandal, whatever it might
be, we are always in the loop simply by scrolling through social media.
That’s because these celebrities have remained in the spotlight, but what about the ones
who haven’t?
That’s right, today we are doing a part to list of Top 10 Actors Who Disappeared From
Hollywood - Part 2.
Let’s jump in!
10.
Starting off the list at number 10 is Sean Connery.
The actor first rose to fame during the 60’s when he became the first ever James Bond,
that’s quite the title to have.
After that, he continued to take on roles in box office hits like The Untouchables,
Highlander, The Rock, and we all know it didn’t hurt that he also played Indiana Jone’s
dad in the movie.
We know his last film before retiring was The League of Extraordinary Gentleman in 2003.
This was the movie where he got into fist fight with the director, Stephen Norrington.
It wasn’t revealed until years later just exactly why he starred in a movie he hated
so much with a director he got into an altercation with.
Turns out, he had turned down both Lord of The Rings and Matrix, so he felt like there
was no way he could turn this one down.
He told Entertainment Weekly: I got offered The Lord of the Rings, and I turned it down
because I didn’t understand it.
I was offered the Matrix, twice, and I turned it down because I didn’t understand it.
I don’t understand this movie, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to turn it down.
After that he basically called it quits on acting and he has been enjoying retirement
ever since.
9.
At number 9 is the beautiful actress: Meg Ryan.
She has had a very successful acting career which is why it was shocking when she decided
to walk away from it.
We haven’t seen her in a movie since 2015 when she took on a minor role, and many of
us didn’t even know she quit, she kind of just disappeared.
We only found out last year on June 9th 2018 when she joined her once co-star Gwyneth Paltrow
for a panel discussion in LA. *insert image* She sat down to do an interview for Gwyn’s
In Goop Health event.
The two of them talked candidly about working in Hollywood and Meg’s decision to quit
acting a few years ago.
Meg spoke about it by saying: I didn’t really aim to be an actor.
I was a journalism major at school, and a curious person, and I wanted to go back out
into the world and figure out who I was- am- in relationship to other things and other
people and other environments.
Over the years she has majorly stepped out of the spotlight and rarely makes appearances
at public events.
That doesn’t stop the paparazzi from snapping some pictures though.
8.
Swiping our number 8 spot is Dylan Sprouse.
. You would know him and his twin brother Cole Sprouse from the Disney Channel’s The
Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and then all their other Disney appearances after that, like
The Suite Life on Deck.
Both of them had huge success at a young age; it was reported that they were earning $40,000
per episode at the height of their career.
In 2011, the twins pulled away from the public eye without any explanation why.
In 2013, some customers were startled at a coffee shop in the East Village when Dylan
Sprouse was pouring lattes and craft beers.
Turns out that Dylan went on to study at NYU which is where he developed a passion for
brewing.
He did an internship for some time at a Brooklyn bourbon distillery, and has a passion for
mead in particular.
He is now running his own brewery which he added into the William Vale Hotel in Williamsburg,
called the All-Wise Meadery.
During an interview with Vanity Fair in 2018, he refers to acting as a commission type job
and says that the meadery provides a stable paycheck.
He also admitted that he often gets compared to his brother Cole Sprouse who landed a lead
role as Jughead in the hit TV series Riverdale.
When asked about his brothers TV show he said: don’t tell my brother, but I’ve only seen
the first episode.
If I’m being honest when I first saw Riverdale I had no idea which twin it was so, he should
just pretend it’s him and take credit for it.
7.
In spot number 7 is Edward Furlong; he’s best known for his role as John Connor in
the 1991 Terminator Two: Judgment Day.
He was starring alongside two huge stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton.
The role made him incredibly successful which would make you think he was onto bigger and
better things from there on out.
However, only 3 years after the successful movie, one director claimed the young actor
was, I quote: clearly on a path to disaster.
Unfortunately, his prediction happened to be true.
It seems like the young actor couldn’t handle the pressures of the business so he turned
to drinking and drugs, racking up multiple arrests over his years.
*insert image 1* He had arrests for drug possession, assault, and stealing lobsters from a supermarket.
During an interview with People in 2006, he simply said: Hollywood f***ked me up man!
Later in the interview he said he had turned his life around but that didn’t seem to
be the case.
After that he had more than one arrests regarding domestic turmoil’s.
We haven’t seen him in anything in years and to be honest we probably wouldn’t even
recognize him.
6.
At number 6 is Phoebe Cates.
Back in the 80’s she was one of the biggest names in Hollywood, which is why it’s hard
to understand why she just fizzled out of the spotlight.
She made her first big debut in the movie Paradise and continued to have success in
movies which had her fans believing she was here to stay.
You may remember her from her later movies like The Anniversary Party or Gremlins.
In 1989, she got married to Kevin Kline, a very successful actor who we saw as Maurice
in the 2017 Beauty and the Beast live action movie.
Kline opened up saying that when they decided to start a family they didn’t want work
to take away from their time with their children.
He told Playboy: we have agreed to alternate so that we’re never working at the same
time, but whenever it’s been her slot to work, Phoebe has chosen to stay with the children.
It seems like she quietly left the industry and retired from acting to be a mom.
She’s done acting but she still spends a lot of her time doing charity work.
Her son has Type 1 diabetes so she devotes her time towards raising funds for a cure.
She also started her own boutique in 2005 called Blue Tree.
She says I quote: I always wanted to have a general store.
If I could have had a photo booth and sold candy, I would have.
Hey, the heart wants what it wants; I guess hers didn’t want acting anymore.
5.
Half way through the list is Randy Quaid, yes Dennis Quaid has a brother and they look
nothing alike so don’t feel bad if you didn’t put the connection together.
*insert image 1* Dennis has had a very successful acting career where he spent years being called
a Hollywood Heartthrob.
Randy has had a successful career also, with 118 acting credits to his name on IMDB, but
he took on different roles than his brother did due to the difference in their looks.
In 2009 his problems began when he and his wife were arrested for fraud by using an invalid
credit card at an Inn.
They were released on bail but then failed to appear in court and that’s when warrants
for their arrest were issued.
Eventually, the two of them appeared in court but the charges against the actor were dropped
due to a lack of evidence.
Only 1 year later, the two of them were charged again but this time for burglary after they
spent 5 days staying in the guest house in a home they once owned.
*insert image 2* Once again, they failed to appear in court and warrants for their arrest
were issues again.
Turns out they moved to Canada but they ended up getting arrested for their outstanding
warrants.
4.
Taking the number4 spot is Mara Wilson; aka Matilda.
She was one of the most well-known and beloved child stars of the 90’s; appearing in the
movie Mrs. Doubtfire and then Matilda.
But after she rose to fame, she disappeared from the spotlight in the blink of an eye.
Years down the road, in 2016, she explains why she quit Hollywood in a memoir she wrote
called: Where Am I Now?
True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame.
*insert image* She explains that she didn’t fit the look that Hollywood wanted as she
got older.
She said: I wasn’t getting any parts.
I realized I don’t fit their idea of what a Hollywood actress looks like, there’s
no room for me here.
It’s hard to come out of that sane and without some serious doubts about yourself.
That’s when she began to immerse herself in school, theatre, and writing.
After she graduated college she admits in her book that she’s never felt better.
She writes: things have gotten a lot better since I left Hollywood – a great weight
lifted.
Now she lives in New York where she has become a part of the comedy and writing scene.
She happily lives in Queens with her two cats, and says that yes, she still gets recognized
as Matilda.
No surprise there, she literally looks the exact same.
3.
Alright guys, at number 3 is Frankie Muniz, who you might know him as Malcolm from the
classic TV series Malcolm in the middle.
The show ran from 2000-2006 and is basically what put him on the map in the acting world.
He also did other movies like Big Fat Liar, Agent Cody Banks and Sharknado.
Needless to say, he had a wildly successful career; his acting resume is stacked with
a number of different credits.
Which is why I was so stunned when I found out that he walked away from Hollywood and
is now running an olive oil shop.
Yes, that is a thing.
Turns out, acting is no longer his main focus anymore, although you will see him popping
up in some projects once in a while.
After he left his full time acting career, he and his fiancée, Paige Price, now own
an olive oil shop called Outrageous Olive Oils & Vinegars, in old town Scottsdale.
If you go, you will spot him sitting behind the register.
The now 32 year old says: we had been customers at the store before and we just knew we liked
the product and we wanted to do something together.
Now, it’s become our lives.
The former actor who was once practically drowning in fame, money, and success says
that he’s found a new passion: payroll.
He said: I love doing payroll.
I love doing anything with the financials.
I’m a numbers guy, so this has been like a dream come true for me.
Hey man, to each their own.
2.
At number 2 is Orlando Brown; the Disney star most known for his role on That’s So Raven.
After That’s So Raven he went on to other acting projects and also got into the music
industry.
But over the past few years Brown has disappeared from Hollywood and has found trouble with
the law instead, getting arrested for multiple different things.
He was first arrested for burglary, which was actually caught on tape, rookie mistake,
so he couldn’t even get away with it.
TMZ posted the video of him moments leading up to the burglary where he takes a cloth
to cover up the camera, but he didn’t even wear a mask to do so.
Worst criminal ever.
He was arrested again in September 2018 for another burglary charge in Las Vegas.
He remained in jail on $13,000 bail, which includes bail from his previous arrest charges
for drug possession, resisting a public officer, and domestic battery.
*insert image* In his latest mug shot he showed off a new tattoo on his chest: the face of
Raven Samone, his co-star from the show.
He also had a huge smile on his face, so it looks like he’s not too upset by things.
I think it’s safe to say we won’t be seeing him on our TV screens again anytime soon.
1.
Taking our number 1 spot is Daniel Day Lewis.
People were shocked in 2017 when he basically just quit acting and retired from acting all
together.
Some didn’t believe that he would actually be done but we haven’t seen him in anything
ever since so I think it’s time we better start coping with this.
It was announced publically in June of 2017 saying: Daniel Day Lewis will no longer be
working as an actor.
He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years.
This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further
comment on this subject.
The actor later did an interview with Variety where he opened up about his choice to retire,
and he was told that people don’t think he’s really done with acting or Hollywood.
His response to that was: I didn’t want to get sucked back into another project.
All my life, I’ve mouthed off about how I should stop acting, and I don’t know why
it was different this time, but the impulse to quit took root in me and that became a
compulsion.
It was something I had to do.
*insert image* It’s hard to say what exactly he’s up to these days because all we get
is a few random pictures from the paparazzi of him walking around.
Alright guys, there is our part 2 list, let me know what you’re thinking and feeling
down in the comments below and hit that thumbs up button if you liked it.
I’m going to end this video by responding to some comments.
Shamilitaktak says: joce, you look so good in this video!!
You should wear that tracksuit every day every day!!!
You go girl, yeah!!! – wow that is quite the hype for a tracksuit.
Thank you.
I don’t know about wearing it EVERY day but maybe 1 more time just for you.
John Bob says: I’m so glad you pronounce “button” as Bu-Un… since when did T’s
become silent.
There are a couple similar channel hosts that do, I avoid the channel just because of this,
it annoys me that much.
- - Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of people say it like Bu-Un, I probably have to, to be honest.
But I’m glad I don’t annoy you that much.
Sophia Schulfer says: I saw your video on IO and I have a question.
Are you okay?
– yesssss finally someone asks me if I’m okay.
Thank you Sophia.
Yes, I am okay.
Franklin Francis says: love your videos and your sister channel tier list – thank you!
