Looking at his IMDB, seems he has steadily been getting back into voice acting/acting - he's doing a sequel to Honey I Shrunk the Kids with Josh Gad too.

It's good to have Final Destination back, Bloodlines was much better than I was expecting it to be. Some fairly obvious little twists along the way but a couple of surprising ones too.

Didn't he quit acting because his wife was ill and then died at some depressingly young age and he wanted to devote all his time to raising their kids? Guess they are all grown up now. I can't think of many Hollywood actors who would be that selfless especially at maybe the peak of their career.

Yeah, this.

Aye, she passed away from cancer iirc so he quit to raise their children like you said. He's a good bloke.

I don't think it was "selfless". I think he had a breakdown and couldn't face the world* (saw a documentary with people who knew him who said that once). It's not actually a great example for kids.

Having grown up in a single parent family, I fully understand that they can be great things, but the risk of them being incredibly shit is much higher - because if the only parental figure is a bit disfunctional then there's no balancing parent to balance out the disfunction. I genuinely worried a bit that he never remarried.

But fuck it, he was rich, his kids are fine. That sort of shit happening to anonymous people in poverty is the really bad thing.


*Edit: Which is something I can understand too. It's a lose-lose situation.

Wow you're such a massive cunt lol

Because I put his career exit down to mental health issues, rather than "selflessness"?

I'm really pleased he's now able to come out of retirement. In fact I'm really glad he's coming out of his house - because that's where he was at. His kids are nearly 40 now, so if it was "selflessness" he could have come out of retirement in 2005. Therefore I don't see what you're butthurt about.

If it's my opinions on single parent families that have hurt your ass - has your training to be "accepting" of all situations blinded you to the risks?

Maybe he just didn't feel like it?

He wasn't leaving his house apparently. Really sad - especially for someone who appeared to be universally adored
