Power Rangers (FOX Kids)

Like many '90s kids, you might find yourself occasionally wondering "<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/where-are-they-now-power-rangers/shamus-kelley">Where are the Power Rangers now</a>?" They've become a phenomenon spanning generations, but it all started with the mid-'90s&nbsp;Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Back in the day, the young actors who played the Power Rangers were actually a pretty tightknit group (though, there were some <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-show-behind-the-scenes-feuds/nikoberi">behind-the-scenes shenanigans</a>), and a few remain so to this day. Perhaps even more specifically, though, you might wonder&nbsp;what happened to the Green Power Ranger, Tommy, who became a fan-favorite on the show.Frank, who <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/20/arts/television/jason-david-frank-dead.html">passed November 19, 2022</a>, at age 49, went on to have a pretty interesting life, much of it still revolving around&nbsp;Power Rangers, but that's not all that defined him. He was somewhat of an enigmatic character, in fact -&nbsp;both devoutly Christian and an MMA fighter -&nbsp;and if you're a frequent Comic-Con attendee, you might very well have seen him displaying his karate moves at some point.&nbsp;Here's a ton of crazy stuff you almost certainly didn't know about Jason David Frank, the original Green Ranger. If you want to find out which Power Ranger was missing a finger (and who wouldn't?), and other crazy stuff about the original series, check that out <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/things-you-never-noticed-about-power-rangers/cehudspeth">here</a>.

The Kony2012 campaign launched one of the biggest viral videos of all time and secured a permanent place in pop culture history. But what happened to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/where-are-viral-video-stars-now/michelle-nati">Jason Russell</a>, the man behind the legendary video? In the massive response to his work on Kony2012, the filmmaker suffered a very public mental breakdown, but Russell has bounced back and continues his advocacy work.The story behind the Kony 2012 video gets even more interesting the deeper you look beneath the surface.

Ten days later, Russell temporarily split from reality.Read on for more about Russell and where he's at today.

Rachael Leigh Cook

Whether you know her from her brief stint as a teenage heartthrob or from her work as a Hallmark movie mainstay, Rachael Leigh Cook has been one of the most memorable actors in the romantic comedy genre since the late 1990s. Having starred in films like Disney&rsquo;s Tom and Huck and the teen&nbsp;rom-com She&rsquo;s All That alongside Freddie Prinze Jr., Cook all but disappeared from the romance film lover&rsquo;s eye until the mid-2010s. Aside from adding to the consistently growing collection of Rachael Leigh Cook Hallmark movies, Cook has been busy working with animal adoption efforts and raising two children.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000337/bio" target="_blank">Rachael Leigh Cook</a> - who is a Minneapolis, Minnesota, native - first got her start in show business as a model and commercial actor, working with brands like Target and Milk-Bone. By the time she was 14, Cook had begun auditioning for feature-length movie roles, which set her on the path to rom-com stardom. And though she seemed to fall from the big screen after her sudden success with She&rsquo;s All That, Cook has been busy. So, where&rsquo;s Rachael Leigh Cook now?

Fairuza Balk

Fairuza&nbsp;Balk, who played a fan-favorite&nbsp;witch in&nbsp;The Craft,&nbsp;has been out of the limelight for quite some time.&nbsp;Many fans of&nbsp;the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/90s-movies-that-defined-teenage-girl-life/devon-ashby">classic cult film</a>&nbsp;have wondered what she's been up to, but Balk&nbsp;hasn't really gone anywhere.

Based on the Stephen King novella The Body, Stand by Me&nbsp;is a 1986 coming-of-age classic not just for the '80s, but for all time. While a large part of its success comes from its universal themes of the loss of innocence and the trauma of growing up, no one can deny that its memorable cast of characters -&nbsp;mainly troubled boys&nbsp;Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern -&nbsp;also helped it stick the landing. The actors behind them, even at their young age, did an excellent job of bringing the characters&nbsp;to life.So what happened to those boys - or any of the movie's other notable actors - once the film wrapped? Here are some of their stories, and for more "where are they now" lists, be sure to check out these roundups of the casts of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/lost-boys-where-are-they-now/linda-meyers">The Lost Boys</a> and The Sandlot.

If you're wondering where the original actors from Grey's Anatomy are now, you're certainly not alone.

Fame is a fickle mistress, especially for <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/dcom-stars-where-are-they-now/kevin-jacobsen" target="_blank">former Disney stars</a>. Very few make the transition to adulthood smoothly and, while some&nbsp;actors&nbsp;stay in the game, many disappear from public view altogether. Erik von Detten&nbsp;is one of the former child stars that made it out relatively unscathed.Von Detten's charm and boy-next-door looks captivated&nbsp;audiences since his debut on&nbsp;Days Of Our Lives in the&nbsp;'90s. The rise to fame was slow and steady for the&nbsp;young talent.&nbsp;He played a&nbsp;rebellious skater boy in <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-disney-channel-original-movies-of-all-time/ranker-tv" target="_blank">legendary Disney movie</a>&nbsp;Brink,&nbsp;and he even did voice over work.&nbsp;Remember toy terrorist Sid Phillips from the&nbsp;Toy Story films? Yes, that was von Detten.Things were looking good for the young actor when, all of a sudden, he disappeared. He appears to be&nbsp;living a happy life&nbsp;out of the spotlight, but&nbsp;fans still want to know everything about their former crush.

Spy Kids is hardly one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-movies-for-kids" target="_blank">best kids movies ever</a>, but it did spawn a minor franchise and banked plenty of early-aughts nostalgia for kids of the '90s.&nbsp;Fortunately, most of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/full-cast-of-spy-kids-actors-and-actresses/reference" target="_blank">cast of Spy Kids</a>&nbsp;has moved on to great Hollywood careers (other than,&nbsp;perhaps ironically, the kids themselves). Spy Kids also features&nbsp;a fair amount of actors who&nbsp;had huge careers predating the campy children's movie, and they've&nbsp;gone on to thrive post-Spy.&nbsp;There are a number of stars in the film you may not even remember appearing in it, especially because some of them&nbsp;aren't traditionally actors.&nbsp;While it's natural to wonder what became of the kids, the more fascinating stories relate to the actors who were already fully grown at the time of the 2001 family adventure (although&nbsp;one of those kids is now engaged to a pop star). Minor spoilers for Spy Kids ensue, but if you haven't seen these movies by now, what's going on? Who hurt you?

Pauly Shore

What happened to Pauly Shore? He isn't dead, despite the fact that his 2003 mockumentary is called Pauly Shore Is Dead. Shore was raised in the world of stand-up comedy, living and learning inside the legendary walls of The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. He was mentored by&nbsp;renowned comedian Sam Kinison, and in the late '80s they perfected Shore’s Los Angeles-bred, bro-tastic, slang-surfer persona - also known as The Weasel.Shore was soon tapped by MTV&nbsp;to host Totally Pauly and MTV’s Spring Break. The young comedian’s career led him to Hollywood, where he starred with&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/crazy-brendan-fraser-facts/anncasano">Brendan Fraser</a> in the stoner comedy Encino Man and had a few other modest movie hits. However, like most meteoric rises to the top, there is always a deep bottom, and Shore’s career seemed to crash land in 1996 with the mega box office bomb Bio-Dome.So, where is Pauly Shore now? His spotlight might have faded, but he's alive and well. As these <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/insane-werner-herzog-stories/anncasano">crazy</a> Pauly Shore stories and fun facts about his career prove, his life has been anything but dull.

In 2008, singer <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-susan-boyle-albums-list/reference">Susan Boyle</a> burst onto the world stage in one of the most unforgettable musical debuts in modern history. In the years since, however, she has gradually retreated from the spotlight, leading many to wonder what happened to Susan Boyle.&nbsp;Where did she go? Were the trappings of fame too much for the&nbsp;celebrity greenhorn?Born in 1961 and raised in a small Scottish town, Boyle led a quiet and unremarkable life until she stepped in front of the Britain's Got Talent judges at the age of 47. Frumpy, awkward, and more than a little sheltered, she wasn't anyone's idea of a star. But when she performed &quot;I Dreamed a Dream&quot; from Les Mis&eacute;rables,&nbsp;her flawless vocals and passionate interpretation rivaled greats like Patti LuPone and Elaine Page. Not surprisingly, Boyle skyrocketed to stardom, but in the years since, she has gone from the top of the music charts to, seemingly, a life of seclusion. So&nbsp;where is Susan Boyle today?
