Haley Joel Osmont
It feels like last week when The Sixth sense hit the theaters. But sorry to burst your bubble. That was 19 years ago. The movie’s lead actor – Haley Joel Osmont, has starred in a lot of other projects ever since. Everything from raunchy comedies like Family Guy to the Disney Final Fantasy Crossover hit – Kingdom Hearts, Osmont has been very busy lately.
Macaulay Culkin

Mickey Rourke
Mickey Rourke started out as a boxer. When he entered the industry in the Eighties, everyone thought he would make it big. But the actor went back to boxing again, only to return a few years later to the film industry. Because of surgeries to fix the injuries he received during his boxing career, Rourke now sports a rougher, more rugged look.
Kirstie Alley
Kirstie alley shot to fame in the Nineties. She received an Emmy for Cheers, got her own star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and even starred in her own series -0 Veronica’s Closet. Sadly her fluctuating weight and a string of bad projects led to her being pushed into obscurity.
Jaleel White
Jaleel White’s greatest work was portraying Steve Urkel in Family Matters. After playing the nerdy boy in the series, one look at 2021’s Jaleel White is enough to see how far the guy has come.
Lark Voorhies
Voorhies was the only diverse cast member in the hit ’90s comedy show – Saved By The Bell. Unfortunately Lark Voorhies struggled after the series came to an end. She also underwent quite a physical transformation in the 2000’s. She is almost unrecognizable now.
Devon Sawa
Devon Sawa rose to fame after Casper and Now and Then. But he was not seen in any show or movie for quite a few good years. He made his return in the hit series Nikita. But the once teen heart-throb now appeals to a different kind of age group.
Jonathan Lipnicki
Lipnicki caught his lucky break while he was quite young. He starred in Jerry Maguire, which also happened to have Tom Cruise in the lead role. His big glasses and bigger smile won many hearts and souls. Lipnicki has later starred in shows like MotherLover and Interns of F.I.E.L.D.
