Barrett Oliver was just nine years old when he made his debut on the set of Jekyll and Hyde (1982). However, it was only two years later that his name became known when he starred in The Endless Story, the acclaimed 1984 film. Although he worked in the industry for a few more years, in 1990 he decided to change the course of his profession. Today, at 48, Oliver is a renowned artist and professional photographer who exhibits his work in various museums and teaches at the University of Los Angeles. He is so successful that, in 2003, he was commissioned to create the graphics for the movie Return to Cold Mountain.
Danica McKellar
Danica McKellar trumped Kevin, growing up with love. Currently, she is dedicated to mathematics.
How can we forget the tender Winnie Cooper, Kevin Arnold's childhood love in the popular series The Wonder Years? For six seasons, the fans of this story -which in Argentina was called Kevin, growing up with Love- were excited about this duo played by Danica McKellar and Fred Savage. Although over time the actress appeared in series such as Walker, Texas Ranger, Justice League, or The West Wing, she never again achieved the popularity of those years, something that led her to put her expectations outside the cameras.
In 1998, she graduated from UCLA with a degree in mathematics and is currently the co-author of several books and scientific research aimed at making the subject easier for children and adolescents. Although she, from time to time, breaks out in acting in some Hallmark telefilms or doing special appearances in different series.
Josh Saviano was the best friend of the protagonist in Kevin, growing up with love. Today, he is a prestigious lawyer specializing in intellectual property rights.
Someone who also walked away from the sets was his partner Josh Saviano, who was part of this trio of fictional friends. Now, the college nerd is a successful Yale graduate lawyer who works for the Morrison Cohen law firm.
Frankie Muniz
Frankie Muniz was the protagonist of Malcolm, an emblematic series of the '90s.
Without a doubt, his role in Malcolm launched Frankie Muniz to stardom. However, his repeated strokes (transient ischemic attacks) kept him away from film and television productions starting in 2012. In an interview with People, the charismatic actor confessed that he did not remember anything about his time on TV, something that was shocking. to all his followers. He tried to stay involved in the artistic world through music (he played drums in different bands) and even tried his luck as a racing driver, but several accidents endangered his life and removed him from the scene altogether. "I have the body of a 71-year-old man," he warned some time ago. Eventually, he founded Olive Oils and Vinegars, an organic oil, vinegar, and other seasoning company that he runs with his wife in Scottsdale. "I want to be the king of oil in the United States," he jokes every time he is asked about this change of course.

Ariana Richards, before and after fame.
She was Lex Murphy, the granddaughter of the creator of Jurassic Park in Jurassic Park, the Steven Spielberg film. Despite her brilliant performance - in which she fled with her brother from the attack of the dinosaurs - and her multiple awards, Ariana Richards chose another destination. After graduating from the University of Fine Arts, this artist changed the awards of the red carpets for those of the art world, since her work as a plastic artist is recognized worldwide.
