    That's cos Kilmer was diagnosed with throat (lung cancer?) I believe to the point of requiring a laryngectomy. He now runs an art gallery in the US, seems happy with his post - acting life. The last part I saw him in was the abomynble The Snowman from 2017. He looked rough so possibly was after the surgery.

    Sounds like a tough battle for him, but looks like that diagnosis was in 2015.
    Alexander and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang were 2004-2005, after that he went into theatrical roles. In terms of Hollywood box office his career ended abruptly in 2005.

    Adam Sandler was in ‘Uncut Gems’ within the last year and half or so.

    Pretty good actually (a serious movie)

    If Adam Sandler did more projects like Uncut Gems, I’d happily hear from him loudly and frequently. A brilliant, unique actor on those exceedingly rare occasions when he signs up for a proper script.

    Is your google broke? He’s a multifilm contract with Netflix and has been pumping out the same movie over and over for years.

    Would wonder how often some of the posters here watch a film with some of the names mentioned.

    There’s a lot of ‘I haven’t seen them and can’t be arsed Googling, so they must be gone’ going on.

    Don’t know what happened to Steven Spielberg. He made Jaws and has barely been heard from since.

    It is, unless you enjoy unfunny fart jokes, and INCREDIBLY obnoxious product placements.

    And Al Pacino singing (maybe rapping iirc) about dunkin doughnuts.

    I wish that was as funny as it sounds.

    He was in the last "has fallen" film with Gerard Butler, he mumbled and growled as usual.

    That was a very good movie, good enough to make me look at the previous fallen movies and realising they were sh1t

    Edit: I clicked reply to your post and didn't see One Eyed Jacks post but she's starring in 911 Lone Star

    Also Mira Sorvino is someone that disappeared overnight. She won an Oscar and did nothing else after that, thanks to not playing ball with Weinstein.

    Sorvino was in a movie recently with Rainn Wilson. Small enough part. “Don’t tell a Soul”, wasn’t great.

    Andrew McCarthy, he had a good thing going in the 1980s but didn't seem to transition from the love interest into other roles. Remember reading that he was doing a travel show in ireland or something like that

    Matt Dillon seems to get sporadic roles. Definitely should be more prominent

    Tobey Maguire just seemed to vanish as well.

    Just looked that up and he does indeed and has a house in dublin. Eric stoltz has an Irish wife as well. From cootehill in cavan. Another actor that seemed to vanish after pulp fiction

    John Belushi.
    Was destined to be a superstar then went and died and was never in another movie. Unbelievable.

    Haven't seen Michael Madsen in anything in ages. Kill Bill 2 was probably the last time.

    Get the sense he’s another “difficult” character

    He took up poker playing; if you have seen Molly's Game, a character in that is based on Maguire's career left-turn.

    He moved into production and director roles. Worked a lot with James Spader in the blacklist and other TV series.

    Also did some stage acting.
