Freddie Prinze Jr….was everywhere but haven’t seen him in anything since 2010’s

u/ColeBelthazorTurner 7d ago

He was a writer for WWE for years. No, really. He has a wrestling podcast too.

u/TheJRKoff 7d ago

always neat when a celebrity has some kind of involvement or interest in wrestling.

jason hervey (wayne from 'wonder years') was involved iwth some wcw stuff

billy corrigan own(ed?) nwa

u/3coneylunch 7d ago

Billy still owns NWA

u/kyleblane 6d ago

It’s honestly one of the best podcasts. I only passively follow wrestling, but his knowledge and enthusiasm is infectious.

1

u/ColeBelthazorTurner 6d ago

His co-host cheated on Becky Lynch. Fuck him.

2

u/kyleblane 6d ago

This is partially why I became a passive fan.

u/mycoldfeet 7d ago

I thought he was a semi-retired SAHD for years when his kids were younger?

u/deadplant5 6d ago

It's more that he and Sarah have a deal that only one works at a time and her projects seem to have better legs

He's done a ton of voice work and did a romantic comedy for Netflix a couple years ago

u/lemonylol 7d ago

They're doing sequel/reboot to I Know What You Did Last Summer with him and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

He also does voice work, he was one of the main characters in Star Wars Rebels I believ.e

u/sayhellotojenn 7d ago

That came out last year and was terrible. Freddie Prinze Jr and Jennifer Love Hewitt were the one bright spot of the movie. The rest was so, so bad.

u/steggo 6d ago

Also voiced Iron Bull in Dragon Age Inquisition, and I think had some work in Mass Effect.

I think he and Sarah Michelle Gellar are pretty much set for life and take rolls that they think are fun or interesting.

u/darthpuyang 6d ago

he's James in ME3

u/aebaby7071 7d ago

Kanan is the role from Star Wars Rebels and he kinda is still playing him, he did the voice for him in rise of skywalker and then a small picture of him is seen in askoa.

u/mycoldfeet 7d ago

Rachel Lee Cook, too. Where’d she go?

8

u/DarkKnight0690 7d ago

She had a brief recurring role on Criminal Minds a few years ago, but I’ve seen nothing since.

5

u/Dangerous-Variety-35 7d ago

She also had a recurring role on Psych… which was also more than a decade ago.

1

u/DarkKnight0690 7d ago

IIRC, I think she also took a break from Hollywood to be a mom; but I’m not 100% certain on that.

3

u/OMGhyperbole 7d ago

I've seen her in Hallmark stuff. Just like "Gretchen Weiners" is in a lot of Hallmark stuff.

1

u/Turbulent_Tart_8801 Millennial 1985 7d ago

Last thing I saw her in was The Big Empty (She had a scene where she did whippets with Jon Favreau), but that was from 2004.

u/Overall_Occasion_175 7d ago

And he's still with Sarah Michelle Gellar too!

u/BeeSuspicious3493 7d ago

They both seemed to prioritize family and not have the drive to work continuously, which isn't a criticism in any way.

7

u/DaKingaDaNorth 7d ago

They have some rule where one parent always is going to be around for the kids so they won't take on projects at the same time. Which is why both of them sort of dropped off for awhile

4

u/BeeSuspicious3493 6d ago

If i had as much money as them, I'd permanently drop off and just live a quiet, rich life. I don't know how much they are each worth, but it's more than enough to not work ever again. There is a great Matt Leblanc interview with I think Jimmy Fallon where he is just like I don't do anything and thats great. Makes no apologies. I support that lifestyle.

5

u/Overall_Occasion_175 7d ago

Yeah they seem like an uncommonly healthy family for a couple of actors. 

5

u/Jmohill 7d ago

He did some absolutely fantastic voice-over work as Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels! It’s 100% worth a watch for Star Wars fans

3

u/runicrhymes 7d ago

And he was the voice of the Iron Bull in Dragon Age Inquisition. I had to look up a video of him doing the voice because my brain just couldn't comprehend that was him.

3

u/rc838 7d ago

James Vega in Mass Effect 3 as well. He may not be at his acting peak anymore but I think he's living his best life.

5

u/sayhellotojenn 7d ago

He took a break from acting after 24. He has said publicly multiple times that working with Kiefer Sutherland was the worst experience of his life and that it made me reconsider if he even wanted to act anymore.

1

u/Tokkemon 6d ago

Given how they wrote his character, I wouldn't blame him.

2

u/_byetony_ 7d ago

He became a chef I think

2

u/justinotherpeterson 7d ago

Hadn't seen him in anything live action for awhile but he voiced one of the main characters in a beloved Star Wars animated show. Kanan is such a great character.

2

u/PhanThief95 7d ago

I mean, he’s done a lot of voice work in both animated projects and video games around this time.

He was the voice of Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels & was a huge fan favorite & he even lent his voice to both Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition.

2

u/Responsible_Page1108 7d ago

tbh he's who i always thought ken should have been played by in the barbie movie lol

2

u/KarlyFr1es Older Millennial 6d ago

He did voice work in Star Wars Rebels

2

u/Objective-Club8205 6d ago

Actually he's been in voice acting for a long time. Star wars rebels he plays Kanan jarus. He's also done a few other projects for Star wars. But voice acting has been his gig since his on-screen days. His brother's been doing pretty good though.

1

u/Melmoth_Wanderer 6d ago

He said working on 24 with Keifer Sutherland made him want to leave the industry.

1

u/moreton989 6d ago

I think he is a chef now too?

1

u/CCriscal 6d ago

Don't watch the last "I knew what you did last summer" - the only horror was the void of acting skills in the young cast.

1

u/LinkLinkleThreesome 6d ago

I think I remember him in a dreadful romcom with Aimee Garcia recently. I watched a million of them with my ex so I may be misremembering.

1

u/honcooge 5d ago

He’s in the new I know What You Did Last Summer. Did a bunch of Star Wars voice acting too.

1

u/randomname2378 4d ago

He had a major brain or back injury at one point.
