I was just watching Drag Me To Hell a few nights ago featuring the lovely and talented Alison Lohman and she hasn't done anything since 2009, although I believe that it's because has had a kid.
Mary Stuart Masterson, AFAIK ain't done much since episode 13 of touch season 1 - yet her husband was a recurring guest star in royal pains last year and very good he was too:D
She used to be known as Clare Woodgate and was the original daughter in 2 Point 4 Children.
She then changed her name and went into films.
She did a nude scene in her first film which might be why I remember her and then crappy low budget movies. I think in one she played a hooker.
Laura Elena Harring seemed to have not followed up her "Mullholland Drive" success
until 2006 (when she turned up in "The Shield" and "One Missed Call") .
Did a few big movies, The Crow, Face Off, Deep Blue Sea, Thin Red Line, and a Punisher adaptation which I suspect was meant to break him into the big time...but it was not very good and not well received, and he seems to have drifted into fair to middling movies and occasional TV.
I mention him because I saw him in a piece of dross last night called Vice, with Bruce Willis. He looked completely dishevelled, unshaven, scruffy etc...and yet he was playing a detective.

I actually thought of him yesterday as I was browsing the Sky On Demand Movies and he was in one of them.
california man , george of the jungle etc ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, then the blockbuster mummy series
now ?
how come he isn't a huge megastar now ? ,,,, is he notoriously difficult to work with etc become a demanding diva etc ?,,,,,,,or what ? ,,,,,,,,,,,,, he just sort of disappeared

The last film Fraser was in that was a commerical success was the first GI movie
in 2009. He has a big TV miniseries in the pipeline, "Texas Rising"- maybe he
wants to do a Matthew McConaughey and move to the small screen.
Brendan Fraser was always punching above his weight. Sometimes, in the absence of genuine talent (or simply someone with genuine charismatic screen presence) Hollywood needs to fill a gap and they push forward who ever is around at the time, until the real deal, or a slightly better 2nd best comes along.
My vote goes to Nick Stahl, from John Connor to cleaning dishes in a decade.
really, he is actually cleaning dishes, mmmmm
I would add Tom Berenger, always seemed destined to be a bigger movie star than he turned out to be
i had no idea, Bridget Fonda retired or that Kelly Mcgillis opened a cake shop, I knew Sean Connery retired and that Rick Moranis, found it too difficult to juggle raising kids, after the death of his wife in 1991 and found, he didn't miss movies too much
I wonder who else, voluntarily chucked it in and retired

He'll always be Principal Prickley to me

Sadly I am not the father.

Hasn't really done much else.
Looks like she used to be married to Skeet Ulrich, another one who fell off the radar!
Infact I could probably only list three.
Aliens, The Terminator, Navy Seals.
I'm guessing casting directors finally realised that she couldn't act?
until 2006 (when she turned up in "The Shield" and "One Missed Call") .
Bridget Fonda
Rick Moranis
Renee Zellweger
Roberto Benigni
Thora Birch
Macaulay Culkin
Barret Oliver
...and a shed load of young stars from the 1990s.
