Stars Who Were Huge in the 90s, but now MIA?
I am curious to know some actors/actresses who have either gone completely missing from the spotlight or taken less mainstream film roles within the last 10 years. Tom Sizemore is certainly one example. Here's a couple of others:
Michael Douglas
Huh? Yes, Michael has been active in this decade but most of his films have been weak comedies, flops and art type films. He was a huge bankable star in the 90s with hits like Discloure, The Game, The American President and The Perfect Murder.
Joe Pesci
Hard to believe, but other than a few minor cameos, Joe has not starred in a major film in well over a decade. He was huge in the 90s, hilarious in My Cousin Vinny, and frightening in Casino.

Joe Pesci Retired and has done nothing for 10 years besides the one scene in The Good Shepard. Seems like he has a movie coming out later this year.
Michael Douglas has just been taking the paycheck since Traffic

[Michael Douglas]Hmm...make a movie, or stay at home and fuck Catherine Zeta-Jones on a regular basis.[/Michael Douglas]
Brendan Fraser was pretty big during the 90's, but I haven't seen him in anything lately except that Center of the Earth movie.

Julia Roberts
In the 1990's, she was the "it" girl, romantic lead in scores of films. Nowadays she gets the "grandmother" roles that Dame Judy Dench turns down.

I would have seen Duplicity if it was Dame Judy Dench getting frisky with Clive Owen.

Sharon Stone popped into my mind pretty quickly.
She seems to still be working somewhat consistently, but nothing like 15 or so years ago.

Eric Stoltz seemed to be in every other indie film in the 90's, but haven't seen much of him since.

Steven Segal is still working in DTV movies, but hasn't been in anything decent since the 90s.

I was thinking about her too as I just watched Casino with Joe Pesci and Stone. She was amazing in that film, but has really sucked ever since.
