Richard Dean Anderson – 1950

People started seeing Richard Dean Anderson in the ’70s when he became part of General Hospital. He then had his big break when he got cast as the lead of the series called MacGyver. By the ’90s, most people knew him for starring in Stargate SG-1.

The now 71-year-old Anderson could’ve continued acting for decades, but it looks like he preferred a more quiet life. He hasn’t done any acting work since appearing on an episode of Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 in 2013. Sources say he now splits his time between his homes in LA, northern Minnesota, and Vancouver.

Emil Minty – 1972

Many of you might not recognize Emil Minty because he was only famous in the acting scene when he was a young boy. He appeared in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, and even if he didn’t say any lines, you could easily remember him because of his movie costume as a feral child.

Despite his early start in Hollywood, he decided to stop acting and finish his education. He then became a jeweler and raised two children. Minty didn’t completely close his doors to show business, though, for he did voice work for a video game titled Wasteland 3 in 2020.
