Catching Up With The Stars

Where Are Our Favorite TV Actors Now?

Every time I see a picture of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen out shopping or partying at a club, I can't help thinking of the good old days when they shared the role of Michelle Tanner on Full House. Sometimes I find an article on Michelle Williams or Katie Holmes and remember when they were on Dawson's Creek. What happened to the stars of all our favorite '90s TV shows?

Full House

Full House ran from 1987-1995. It was about a single dad raising three daughters with the help of his brother-in-law and best friend. Every episode was funny and warm and taught a lesson people of all ages could relate to. Bob Saget played the dad, Danny Tanner. Since the show ended, he's had guest spots on various TV shows and small parts in movies. Now, he's the host of the game show 1 vs. 100. John Stamos played Danny's brother-in-law, Jesse. He always had the funniest lines. He now plays Dr. Tony Gates on ER. Jodie Sweetin portrayed Steph Tanner, the middle daughter. She hasn't been as involved in acting since the show ended, but she is currently touring the country speaking out against drugs and describing her own recovery from drug addiction.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are probably the show's most famous alumni. They've been in dozens of movies and TV shows, and they recently attended NYU for a year.

Didn't Steph Tanner host a Fuse tv show named "Dance off
Pants-Off?"
Boy Meets World too. Wouldn't a reunion episode be fantastic? I
would just love it.
Has Been Active Like ajansync4 Said. PLus She's Played In Dozens
Of Lifetime Movies Like "She Fought Alone". So Whoever Wrote This
Aint Doing A Very Good Job!!Plus How You Only Gonna Talk Bout Four
ppl.. Your Forgettin Two Others!!
does anyone remember the show popular?? that was a good one. And
ben savage isn't dead. he guess starred on a show after that rumor
came out I forget which one though
ben savage isn't actually dead, that was just a rumor, which you
seem to be spreading...
pretty sure Ben Savaga ISNT dead.. urban myth
is dead, actually.
actjually tiffani thiessen has been pretty active as an actress.
she's on that one show on abc..ssomething about brian or soemthing
like that? yeah. look it up. imbd.com
So mant memories, so many good show lol =D
Isn't Dustin Diamond a porn star now?
I can say that Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey on Full House) is touring
colleges. We had him here in Indy in January and he was
HILARIOUS!
Interesting, but not informative, or well written. You could have
done better. Keep writing!
Meh. Thanks for telling me things I already knew. I'd have rather
read an article that went in depth and found out where people are
that we haven't heard about lately. Y'know, instead of, oh, Katie
Holmes.

But Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger's daughter is pretty cute.
Bob Saget is currently touring colleges. His act is
hilarious--he's returned to the comedy he did before Full House.
Haha..I still love watching Full House and Boy Meets World =)
What about Candace Cameron Bure? Will Friedle? Matthew Lawrence?
Lark Voorhies? Just to name a few, but they were all on those
shows and have had careers since but weren't mentioned at all.
zcak is so sexy and kelly you better stop playing that game with
my boo zack.
"Dustin Diamond. He hasn’t had any major acting roles since the
show aired."

yeah not too well researched. if you wanna know what all your old
and new stars are up to though i'm sure you guys have heard of
"imdb.com" it's the place to go to see what roles your fav. star
is going to be in. well...not all but at least better than this.
=(
good to know where they are. but the article doesnt seem to have
all the info, just the ones on the most popular ones.
Man, I loved all those shows. Especially Full House!!
James van der Beek is going to be on "Football Wives"??
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! My
prediction is that he's going play Kyle. Hahahahahahahahahaha Oh
my gahhh I can't get over it. Hahahahahahahahaha.
and btw, Josh Jackson's more into indie movies now; it doesn't
really mean he hasn't been active since. That and he's been in a
good number of plays in London.
not very well researched,I do have to agree...Mario Lopez also had
a talk show...etc..etc..
BOY MEETS WORLD!!! It's the best show ever, I still watch it. I
wish they were still making episodes- like a grown up boy meets
world. haha
But did the person who wrote this article actually do any
research? A lot of the actors mentioned have been acting. And by
the way they are all easy to find on tv still, because they are
all. Dawson's Creek TBS and Nogg, Full House is one about 5 times
a day on about 3 different network Nickelodeon being one, Saved by
the Bell is on TBS still, and Boy Meets World is still on Disney.
I like the idea of the article, but it would have been much better
if you researched it more.
Out of all of the shows mentioned, Full House and Boy Meets World
were the only two I ever really watched. I still watch them, as a
matter of fact. You just gotta love Nick @ Nite and the Disney
Channel! :)
This article said Tiffani Thiessen is not acting, but she is
currently a recurring character on the show "What About Brian."

You forgot to mention that Dustin released sex tapes.


Boy Meets World!!!!
i never really watched these shows, i was strictly nickelodeon..

KENAN AND KEL 4 LIFE
actually, tiffani thiessen has been on a lot of other shows since
beverly hills 90210, and she is on the show What About Brian right
now...
I used to watch Saved By the Bell when I was like 10 lol but I
loved it so much, I watched SBTB the New Class too. Full House I
watched when I was like a little kid, but I kind of grew out of
it.

Boy Meets World was such an amazing show though!!! I LOVED that
show and I'd watch it all over again! I think it was one of those
shows that realistically portrayed what it's like to grow up (at
least way more realistically then most shows) and it was a show
that guys and girls could love. My husband watched that show all
the time too lol!

The first season of Dawson's Creek I enjoyed, but after that I
think it went downhill. I got too tired of the whole "will Joey
get with Pacey or go back to Dawson" circle.
ha ha i love that for full house they make jodie sweetin seem all
cute and innocent now. she was a meth addict. but yay that she
fixed that shit. and she hosts pants off dance off on fuse. woop
woop half naked people, lol.
Ohman, I miss the 90's.
Such good shows. I used to watch Full House, Saved By the Bell,
and Boy Meets World all the time! I love when I catch reruns of
the shows. =)
I love all the shows except dawson creek could never get into it.
But I love watchign reruns of boy meets world and full house and
of course save by the bell..

boy meets world runs at 8-9 am eastern time on abc family after
family matters.
BMW!

man, i love that show, and i am totally bummed that family doesn't
show it anymore (or does it?)
Dustin Diamond has done some really bad porn movies.
I never watched Dawsosn Creek when it was on, but I have started
watching the re-runs that come on in the morning. I have
absolutely fallen in love with that show. I think it's a more
realistic look on what high school kids face, rather than that
crap they pulled on the OC. And I still watch Full House, I have
always LOVED that show. I sometimes watched reruns of Saved by the
Bell & Boy Meets World.

I miss the 90's! :)
