90s Stars We Completely Forgot About

Andrew Keegan's IMDb page reads like a '90s Greatest Hits list. He was in Boy Meets World, Party of Five, 7th Heaven, and Baywatch. What, no time for 90210? He even had a part in 10 Things I Hate About You, which is considered a cornerstone of the teen romcom genre. Somewhere around the end of his 7th Heaven run, Keegan's acting gigs became increasingly inconspicuous, as in a TV movie called Teenage Caveman inconspicuous. He worked in relative obscurity for around a decade. Then things took a turn.

In 2014, Keegan founded Full Circle, a spiritual movement of sorts whose mission statement, according to its website, is "to activate community through a curation of heart-centered, spirited programming that creates space for authentic connection." A Vice reporter who visited the church's Venice Beach, Calif. headquarters seemed to find that Keegan's brand of new-wave spiritualism was filtered through a lens somewhere between the L.A. hipster scene and whatever those people are doing at Burning Man. Asked to explain the church's name, Keegan replied, "Synchronicity. Time. That's what it's all about. Whatever, the past, some other time. It's a circle; in the center is now. That's what it's about." And if that made as little sense to you as it did to us, perhaps this Full Circle follower's description of the movement to ABC News will clarify: "Just rad, funky people to do rad, funky things." Nope, still no clue. Oh well, Keegan seems happy, so let's just hope this doesn't end with "special applesauce" and a brand new pair of sneakers for everyone.

Despite being known for his current long-running role as Tucker Dobbs on Baby Daddy, and the voice work he did on Kim Possible, Tahj Mowry is also the little brother of Tia and Tamera Mowry, which you may not have realized, but now that you're looking at his face, you're wondering if you might need glasses. Tahj is not just the Sister, Sister stars' mini-me. He's a Renaissance man of creative talent. Recently, Tahj expanded his portfolio into music with the release of his EP, Future Funk. He told the Los Angeles Times that music is his passion, and when describing his sound, he said, "It's funky, it's upbeat, it's got swag, it's got its own thing going—you can't help but dance to it."

Sharp-eyed readers will also recognize Tahj as Teddy from Full House. You may remember him as Michelle Tanner's best friend who ripped audiences' hearts out when he had to move to Amarillo, Texas for his dad's new job. He even took Pinky, Michelle's favorite pig! Here's the clip if you'd like to take the "Am I Dead Inside?" challenge and attempt to watch it without bawling. (It's not possible.)

Jason Behr is best known for his role on The WB's Roswell, a drama about teens who are part alien and part human and have to live in Roswell, N.M until they can return to their home planet to save their race. It was a relative hit that ran for three seasons, because as long as a show has hot people and drama, teens will watch it. Unfortunately for Behr, the biggest part he would get post-Roswell was in the American remake of The Grudge with Sarah Michelle Gellar, which came out in 2004. From there, he scored a handful of roles in stuff nobody would recognize, such as the movie Dragon Wars: D-War, which sounds like a Bollywood knockoff version of Game of Thrones. As of this writing, Behr hasn't had a screen credit since 2012.

Behr did, however, meet his wife on the set of The Grudge. She's fellow actress KaDee Strickland, and she's been steadily working throughout her husband's dry spell with roles on The Practice, Secrets and Lies, The Player, and Shut Eye with only a brief pause to give birth to their son, Atticus. To summarize, Behr doesn't have to work, has a successful actress wife, and has a son with a badass name. If that's the definition of "forgotten," it really doesn't sound that bad.

Jenna von Oy played Six on Blossom, and you're welcome for us just putting the earworm that is the opening piano riff of that show's theme music into your head. After her five year stint as Blossom's fast-talking bestie, von Oy moved on to lots of bit parts until her next long-term role as Stevie Van Lowe on The Parkers, which, let's be honest, you're lying if you say that's what you know her from. We all remember her as the girl with the floppy hats who was in love with Joey.

As an adult, von Oy has taken to writing, penning guest pieces for People's celebrity baby blog, as well as her own blog, The Cradle Chronicles. She's also written a book called Situation Momedy, because if you haven't guessed by now, she's a mom, too. She has two daughters with husband Brad Bratcher, and they all live together in Nashville, Tenn. According to her blog, in addition to wrangling her two children and five dogs, von Oy is already working on the sequel to Situation Momedy, so it sounds like her hands are plenty full without tossing a return to acting into the mix.

Robert Iler had only done commercial work before landing the role of A.J. Soprano on The Sopranos at age 12. At the time, he reportedly didn't have career ambitions as an actor, but in a 2007 interview with PR.com, which was just as the HBO smash was ending, Iler admitted that he had "developed a passion for [acting]" and hoped that he'd do it for the rest of his life. Something definitely changed, because since The Sopranos, Iler has exactly two screen credits to his name: a bit part on Law & Order in 2009 and a role on a 2016 show called Four Kings, which is about high stakes poker players in Vegas, something Iler definitely knows a little about.

Iler has spent much of his acting hiatus at card tables. He hasn't done much press after getting slammed in the headlines for a marijuana possession and robbery bust when he was 16, but Poker News talked to him in 2012 while he was in Las Vegas to play in the World Series of Poker. Yeah, he's that serious of a player. In fact, Iler told the publication he'd played in the WSOP for the past five years as well. As a guest on Artie Lange's podcast, Iler also revealed that playing poker is pretty much all he does these days.

Party of Five star Lacey Chabert probably has the most post-'90s credits of anyone on this list, but for some reason, she's chosen to focus on voiceover work for animated TV shows. In fact, Chabert was actually the voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy before Mila Kunis, though the role was uncredited. As for why she loves voicing cartoons so much? Maybe it's because her amazing turn as Gretchen Weiners, the heiress to the Toaster Strudel fortune, in Mean Girls inadvertently turned her into a walking meme. Chabert told EW that during a trip to the pharmacy to get medicine when she was sick, a pharmacist said to her, "You don't look like you feel very fetch today." So, it's not really a surprise that Chabert chooses to hide out in a sound booth.

But it's not just randos screaming "You can't sit with us!" that drove her to voice acting. Chabert said she liked being able to play characters that she otherwise wouldn't be able to because of physical limitations. She also confirmed the thing that everyone always thinks would be so sweet about being a voice actor. "The upside is you don't have to have hair and makeup. You can go in your sweats if you want—that's always a plus!"

Despite his prolific career after Family Matters, Jaleel White will forever be known as Steve Urkel, the suspender-wearing, cheese-loving dork who irritated Carl Winslow to no end both on and off the screen. In a 2010 Vanity Fair interview, White confirmed rumors that his sudden stardom as a late addition to the show—Urkel made his debut on the Season 1 finale—definitely made waves with the original cast, especially with Reginald VelJohnson, who was supposed to be the star of the show. Eventually, everyone smoothed things out and made "a s**tload of money," according to White, so it couldn't have been that bad.

White also told Vanity Fair he was nearly cast as Rudy on The Cosby Show until Bill Cosby decided he wanted a girl for the role. That means White was nearly an icon '80s TV too. As far as regrets go, he has none. He doesn't even feel like typecasting was ever a problem for him. "You're only as good as your opportunities. The nature of television is that it's a beast with a lot of opinions. I don't consider myself typecast any more than Neil Patrick Harris was as Doogie Howser or James Gandolfini is as Tony Soprano," he once told TV Guide. That's a surprisingly healthy perspective for a guy whose most recognizable credits since Family Matters are bit parts on Boston Legal, NCIS, and CSI, and who also admits that 20 years after the show, he still has drunk people in a bar asking him to do the Urkel voice.

As a guest on Marc Maron's WTF podcast, Dana Carvey opened up about his conscious decision to walk away from mainstream show business following his brief and ill-fated foray into the movie business. In the wake of his early '90s Saturday Night Live success, as well as the two Wayne's World adaptations, Carvey told Maron that he had so many offers coming at him, he didn't really know how to choose, and at $3 million per film it was almost a no-brainer to say yes. That's how bombs like Clean Slate, The Road to Wellville, and Trapped in Paradise essentially scared the master of impressions away from the movie business.

Instead of pursuing films, Carvey claims he chose to do large-scale corporate stand-up gigs for a crapload of money—making up to $150,000 per appearance—which meant he could just do one of those every weekend, and still be mostly around to raise his kids. So, best case scenario, he was working one to two hours per week and making almost $8 million per year—schwing! As of this writing, Carvey recently released a Netflix standup special and is planning on doing an original series on a streaming network soon, to which we have to ask: why? If all we had to do was show up to a different Marriott every Saturday night, do the "church lady" voice for a bunch of insurance brokers at their yearly conference, then hop on a jet with 150K in our pockets, we would never do anything else. Neither should Carvey, except for Wayne's World 3. Let's be honest, we all still want that, and Mike Myers could use the work.
