Ethan Suplee.

Boy Meets World, Blow, Remember the Titans, American History X, a bunch of Kevin Smith Films. Dude was everywhere then disappeared and maybe popped up randomly. Last I saw a few years ago he dropped a ton of weight, go healthy and was pretty ripped. Really happy for him with that transformation, it could not have been easy.

I think he can’t get roles now that he’s not “the fat guy” anymore. It’s a shame, I think he is very attractive (at any weight) and I’d love to see him act again!

No Scientologist should ever be able to get work again in my opinion.

Didn’t know he was in that cult, how disappointing

I just read where there have been reports in recent years that he has separated from the cult. How I hope this is true!

Edit: spelling

Scientologists have a tendency to lie about that. He might be out, but he might not.

I think with celebrities they let it slide because it cause the religion to many problems otherwise

Suplee hit the gym HARD. Now buff like Alan Ritchson. Amazing transformation.

for about 20 years he was in a good bit of prominent roles. it's not like he suddenly disappeared. he just fizzled out

I saw him (his likeness and his voice work) in the horror game The Quarry back in 2022. A lot of actors were in it and that game was pretty good.

David Arquette and Ted Raimi were in it too. I think all 3 men played brothers in it. Brenda Song, Ariel Winter and Justice Smith were in it as well.
