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>.

Looking closer at the Lord of the Rings trilogy books and movies, The Hobbit, and everything else in J. R. R. Tolkien's beloved universe.

Welcome to Middle-earth

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

It's hard to believe it's been more than a two decades since we watched Gandalf and Frodo sail off into the Great Sea together (if you're not familiar with Middle Earth geography read <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/everything-to-know-to-understand-lord-of-the-rings/zack-howe">this</a>), but that milestone brings up an important question:&nbsp;Where are Lord of the Rings actors now? In all likelihood, the&nbsp;cast of Lord of the Rings&nbsp;probably don't need to be doing anything at all, with their finances almost certainly set for life, but of course most of them have remained in the limelight&nbsp;to varying degrees.After being such a huge part of cinematic history, as LOTR&nbsp;popularized fantasy and adaptations like nothing before (even if some people had <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-book-readers-hate-about-lord-of-the-rings-movie/stephanroget">problems with the movies' loyalty to the books</a>), it's difficult to imagine any of the actors from that beloved trilogy struggling&nbsp;to find work. Fortunately most of them haven't, but&nbsp;there is&nbsp;quite a discrepancy in the varied levels of success amongst the alum.Here's a look at the Lord of the Rings cast then and now.&nbsp;

Matthew Lillard

Though people may wonder where Matthew Lillard is now, he was practically everywhere not long ago. In the late '90s and early 2000s,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/matthew-lillard-movies-and-films-and-filmography/reference" target="_blank">Matthew Lillard movies</a>&nbsp;seemed inescapable. The actor popped up in hits like&nbsp;Scream&nbsp;and&nbsp;She's All That,&nbsp;along with the cult classics&nbsp;Hackers&nbsp;and&nbsp;SLC Punk!&nbsp;But he's most widely known for&nbsp;playing Shaggy in two live-action <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/full-cast-of-scooby-doo-actors-and-actresses/reference" target="_blank">Scooby-Doo movies</a>. And then, he pretty much disappeared.&nbsp;Like Mark Hamill and Christopher Reeve, Lillard&nbsp;found it&nbsp;hard to avoid being typecast after playing such a well-known character. But he's&nbsp;managed to navigate Hollywood without losing himself along the way.&nbsp;Though not as ubiquitous as in his heyday, Lillard keeps busy. He’s branched out into&nbsp;acting-related side jobs, and even popped up in one of the greatest <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/tv-guide_s-top-30-cult-shows?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">cult television shows</a> of all time.

The Life of an Actress

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Years after kicking vampires&#39; butts on television, many fans may wonder what happened to Sarah Michelle Gellar.&nbsp;While she may not be as prominent on television and movies as she was in the late 1990s, Gellar has taken on projects outside of entertainment and created an entirely different successful career. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/sarah-michelle-gellar-loves-and-hookups/celebrityhookups" target="_blank">Gellar&#39;s romantic life</a> once made headlines, especially after dating and then marrying Freddie Prinze Jr. The couple has&nbsp;two children, and they consider them&nbsp;the most important thing&nbsp;in their lives, even more so than acting.

Born in 1977, Gellar got her start in television commercials before landing a breakthrough role on All My Children. Her film career took off roughly around the same time she was cast as Buffy Summers and starred in horror hits like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2. As Buffy on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gellar earned an entire legion of fans, as well as respect from critics for bringing to life a character capable of dealing with teenage emotion at the same time she&#39;s destroying vampires. The role was a forerunner for female superheroes, and years after going off the air, Buffy remains a beloved character. Where is Sarah Michelle Gellar now and what has she been up to? She&#39;s still kicking butt, just not that of evil monsters.

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?

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;

The video that made him famous--or infamous, depending on which camp you fall in--was viewed one million times within its first 24 hours online and reached 100 million views in just six days. Ten days later, Russell temporarily split from reality.Read on for more about Russell and where he's at today.

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.

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;

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?
