Rick Moranis hasn't had a job since 2006.
Not only was his last appearance in a direct to dvd sequel, it was a sequel to Disney's animated "Brother Bear", cleverly titled "Brother Bear 2".
Yes, the man who brought joy to millions and starred in such films as "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" and "Ghostbusters", hasn't had a major, let alone any role in almost 3 years.
If that doesn't depress you, consider this: Pick a Baldwn. Seriously, anyone of them will do. Alec? Stephen? William? Daniel?
They've all gotten work within the past year, hell all of them have films coming out next year. But the star of "Little Shop Of Horrors" and "Spaceballs"? Nothing slated for the forseeable future.
Starred in The Flintstones 2 as Barney Rubble. Rick Moranis did not.
If that doesn't surprise you howzabout this little nugget? Daniel Stern was in a movie last year. Forgot about him, didn't you?
Seriously. This guy.
Sure, Moranis is probably living off of fantastic royalty checks from "Little Giants" and "Strange Brew", but does the world really need to wait three more years before this relatable nerd makes us chortle again at the inherent awkwardness that lies inside all of us?
I hope not.
