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>.

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?

The Life of an Actress

Shannyn Sossamon

Shannyn Sossamon sprang onto the scene in&nbsp;the early 2000s, best known for her leading role opposite <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/heath-ledger-movies-and-films-and-filmography/ranker-film">Heath Ledger</a> in 2001's&nbsp;A Knight's Tale. Sossamon followed up that hit with several other movies, including&nbsp;40 Days and 40 Nights&nbsp;(2002) and The&nbsp;Rules of Attraction&nbsp;(2002). By mid-decade, however, Sossamon had&nbsp;generally faded from the Hollywood spotlight.&nbsp;What happened to Shannyn Sossamon in the aftermath of stardom isn't unique to her as an actress. Her career, her life, and her passions extended outside of acting long before she appeared on screen and, ultimately, sent her in several directions on the heels of movie success. Where Shannyn Sossamon is now reflects her multitude of talents and interests - and a bit of just how fickle Hollywood can be.

Today, the show can primarily be notable for its tendency to script and stage some of its most prominent dramas. Many even ccredit the show for the norm in reality television' s trend to create storylines and blatantly stage scenes, effectively faking the drama.At the time, the girls and guys of The Hills&nbsp;cast were some of the biggest names in Hollywood. The cast made headlines daily and it felt like you knew their every move. Nary was there a moment in which Speidi weren't calling in their own tabloid rumors.

Danielle Fishel

Topanga Lawrence dominated the Friday night airwaves of the &#39;90s as the teenage heartthrob of ABC&#39;s famously heartwarming TV sitcom series, Boy Meets World. Anyone who watched TV within that decade <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-characters-we-watched-grow-up-on-tv/ranker-tv" target="_blank">knew her character and watched her grow up</a> as the iconic girl-next-door and eternal love interest of Cory Matthews. Last seen in her Disney spin-off of the series, Girl Meets World, Topanga Lawrence now is just as clever and quirky as ever but, after years of being separated from the set, Topanga actress Danielle Fishel carries years of acting, directing, hosting, and education experience under her belt.

Fishel&#39;s&nbsp;mega-fame might rest peacefully in the &#39;90s with Boy Meets World&#39;s young Topanga, but where is Danielle Fishel now? What happened to Danielle Fishel after&nbsp;parting ways with sitcom stardom is far from a tragic Hollywood story. Fishel&nbsp;continues to be an active entertainer, reaching out to take on more than just scripted sitcom gigs. Not only is she transitioning from starlet to mom, she&nbsp;has a degree, a husband, a book, and has been actively making her rounds in television as a spokesperson and host of talk shows and lifestyle brands.&nbsp;

Ghostface has been terrorizing Woodsboro and its surrounds since 1996. Will the screams never end?

It's a Scream, Baby

Scream (1996)

When Scream premiered in 1996, it was&nbsp;meant to satirize&nbsp;slasher flicks. It poked fun at a tired genre, using cliches for laughs&nbsp;and packing in meta moments where the characters&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-scream-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">discussed&nbsp;the very tropes</a> the film was working to subvert.&nbsp;But, likely due to its charismatic cast and&nbsp;excellent direction from horror icon&nbsp;Wes Craven, it pulled double duty&nbsp;and became a classic slasher in and of itself.

Based on the real-life case of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/gainesville-danny-rolling/erin-wisti" target="_blank">Gainesville Ripper</a>, Scream&nbsp;was creative. It broke rules, found a wide audience, and breathed new life into the horror genre, spawning its <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-scream-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">own franchise</a>&nbsp;and even&nbsp;inspiring its own parodies. It also gave many members of its cast widespread fame&nbsp;and set them on the path to fascinating careers and personal lives. So whatever happened to those Scream&nbsp;teens? Here&#39;s where they are decades later.

Alyson Hannigan

Born in 1974, Alyson&nbsp;Hannigan was seemingly everywhere in the 1990s after making an impact while at &quot;band camp&quot; in American Pie. She&#39;s since been on and off the radar over the years, with her most major success to date being a 9-year-long stint on How I Met Your Mother, which was one of the most popular shows of the last few decades. She has since <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actresses-whose-pregnancies-became-storylines/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">become a mom</a>, too.

Alyson was a child actor in commercials, sitcoms, and movies throughout the &#39;80s and &#39;90s, but got her first major recognition in&nbsp;Buffy the Vampire Slayer&nbsp;as the shy witch Willow Rosenberg. She stayed on the show until 2003, even through&nbsp;her American Pie success. With the exception of a few projects that didn&#39;t go anywhere, and a play on London&#39;s West End, she&#39;s been steadily working in TV for the past 25 years, and still has a massive fan base.&nbsp;

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?
