By Linux_Sage At 16:22 On 12 November 2014 359 Posts More Than Meets The Eye	The other day I was reminded of some actors who were in some of the TV shows I used to watch as a kid and was curious as to what they were up to... but there doesn't appear to be any trace of their existence after their show was canceled. It's like they vanished! I'll list off a few examples of what I mean: Sheldon Turnipseed. I used to watch Ghostwriter when I was in 3rd grade and sort of liked it. He used to play the main character who first met 'Ghostwriter'. Yet no one seems to know what he's doing now. Last thing anyone seems to know is that he attended some University in New York. The other cast members appear to be doing things and living life, except him. Joe Torres. He played the Native American character on Hey Dude! but again nobody seems to know what he's up to. I think I heard a rumor that he died of alcoholism or something but it turned out to be just a baseless rumor. Does anybody else have any other good examples of this happening? Such strange behavior. I wonder how they manage to do it. It's like they shun technology now or something. Quote Disable Sigs Wir sprechen zu viel, aber wir sehen zu wenig.

I found him on Facebook and he seems to have fallen into regular living which I think is the case with a lot of these people. The acting gig ended and they faded into everyday life.

It's a popular topic for gossip/entertainment articles, and there are plenty of them. Quote Disable Sigs You love this signature.

I adore Rick Moranis and can't wait to see what role/roles he chooses. Quote Disable Sigs
