I mean I don't know but I can tell you that people who do nothing all day go bonkers in this town you have to work. Even if you're like Andrew McCarthy and start writing novels. A decent house is going to be like 2 million so you should probably just bet on keeping it going as long as possible. If you're Frankie Muniz and you're worth 40 million bucks before you're 20 why not race cars around and occasionally appear as yourself in stuff? Just don't go the Tom Sizemore route and put it all up your nose.

I was thinking about John Lithgow today, since he showed up on Harry Connick Jr. show, and that I haven't seen him for a while. Then I remembered that he was in Third Rock and that was a big hit in syndication and he's got more money than God right now so he's been doing theater and the occasional bit part every now and then. Then there's Michael Dorn, TV's Worf, who collects fighter planes as a hobby. Syndication is the real path to a lifetime of money.

Amanda Bynes is currently a clothing designer, and voluntarily retired from acting because she wanted to address her mental health. A surprising amount of child actors end up just fine, but we always hear about the trainwrecks.

It's very conceptually good at parodying Myst, but it does it like a theme-park ride instead of a game and its incredibly short. The writing is also all over the place and, I also can not believe I am writing this many words about the game Pyst, yet is somehow unfocused and was attempting to build an online tie-in community.

The Crown is the story of the British royals from the late 1940's-onwards. The show cost a shitzillion dollars per episode and looks like it. John Lithgow is Churchill, but looks and sounds nothing like Churchill.

He also played in a pretty bad rear end band called Kingsfoil for a while. A couple friends of mine toured with them and he was nice enough.

Guy Mann posted:My favorite weird "so much better than this" FMV game casting is still John Goodman starring an FMV parody of Myst called...Pyst Starring in FMV games wasn't really considered slumming it back at the time.

Yeah at the time Hollywood was very interested in FMV games, and there's even a few "prestigious" Hollywood FMV game attempts like MODE or Nine. The super pretentious marketing about Interactive Real Time Cinematic Experiences you'd see on 3DO and PC game boxes and stuff, that was all Hollywood marketing. More impressive is that there actually are some FMV games that are very very good. But most impressive is definitely Christopher Walken's performance in Ripper. Like I wish they just made a movie of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKlBq-MDq-0 Unlike most mainstream video games at the time, profanity and nudity weren't too uncommon for FMV games since they were all sold on this prestige of being ***REAL LIFE*** grown up entertainment.

Rick Moranis starred in quite a few big films throughout the 80s and early 90s. He only stopped working once his wife died of breast cancer, so he could take care of his children.
