Every year or so, somebody starts a rumor that Rick Moranis is going to end his retirement from acting, and start making films again. That means every year, we all get excited, and then end up disappointed when it once again turns out to be a baseless story. Much as we'd all love to see Moranis' talents on our screens again, it's probably time to accept that he's happy away from the limelight, and he isn't going to come back.
The biggest movie that Moranis was ever involved in was probably the original 'Ghostbusters,' in which he almost stole the show from Bill Murray. 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids' and its sequels were a bigger vehicle for his talents although had he really shrunk some children, they probably still wouldn't have ended up much shorter than he is. Moranis is 5 foot 4 inches tall, which made him perfect for playing slightly wimpish characters to great effect in almost all of his films.
