There are probably screenwriters and directors out there at this very moment, still trying to find a working phone number for Rick Moranis so they can try to talk him out of his acting retirement. Moranis was the perfect comedy actor, beloved to audiences for 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids' and 'Ghostbusters' among many other triumphs. He was everywhere in the 80s and 90, and then suddenly he was nowhere. Sadly, there's a tragic reason for that.
Moranis lost his wife at a young age to serious illness, leaving him as a single father. Heartbroken, and with duties to attend to at home, Moranis banked his movie checks and stayed at home to take care of his broken family. In recent years though, he's started taking the occasional job as a voice-over artist. Is it too much to hope that he'll make a full comeback?
