Chevy Chase

Chevy Chase

Poor Chevy has not been able to match the success that had in the 80s with his “Vacation” and “Fletch” films. Since then he has been in various projects, none of which were outstanding. Some notable performances in “Nothing But Trouble” with Demi Moore and John Candy in 1991, and also in “Cops in Robbersons”. You may also remember he had a small part in “Orange County”. He also did a voice in one episode of “Family Guy” as, who else, Clark Griswold. His upcoming project is “Jack and the Beanstalk”.

 

Beverly D’Angelo

Beverly D’Angelo

Unfortunately, Beverly D’Angelo hasn’t had much going for her since “Christmas Vacation” other than a role in an amazing movie, “American History X”. Other than that her resume has remained pretty unimpressive, other than being Al Pacino’s other half. She had roles in a film called “Summer Catch” and the hit HBO show “Entourage”. She also shared a part in that “Family Guy” episode that Chevy was in. Coming up for her is a part in “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay”.

 

Doris Roberts

Doris Roberts

Her career has been comprised of televisions shows since “Christmas Vacation”, other than the Billy Crystal movie, “My Giant”.

Juliette Lewis

She has actually had a pretty good film career post “Christmas Vacation”. She has starred in such films as, “Natural Born Killers”, “Cape Fear”, “From Dusk Til Dawn”, and “Kalifornia”, which starred then boyfriend Brad Pitt. After adding a few more pretty good movies to this list, she has taken a break from acting to pursue music. She is currentlytouring with her rock group.

Randy Quaid

Randy Quaid

The older brother of actor Dennis Quaid has managed to sneak himself into quite a few movies since “Christmas Vacation”, some good, some not so good. A few of those would be, “Hard Rain”, “Brokeback Mountain”, and “The Ice Harvest”. You also may remember him as a crazy fighter pilot in a little movie called, “Independence Day”. His upcoming project is called “Balls Out: The Gary Houseman Story”, costarring Sean William Scott.

 

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Julia has been in a few television shows since this movie and made a few appearances in films, which have all been eclipsed by a tv giant known as “Seinfeld”. This forever made her known as “Elaine”. Since the show ended, she has managed to do something very rare in the television world, which is get another hit show called, “The New Adventures of Old Christine”. She is continuing her work on this program.

 

David from Rosanne

Johnny Galecki

Most people reading this may not even know who this guy is, and if you do, you’re probably saying, “Hey, that’s David from Roseanne”, and you’re right. His gig on “Roseanne” has been the peak of his career to this point. He has been in a couple of decent movies though, such as, “The Suicide Kings” and “Vanilla Sky”. His current work can be seen on the show, “The Big Bang Theory”.

Ed O’Neill

After playing everybody’s favorite women’s shoes salesman on “Married with Children”, Ed O’Neill hasn’t been able to match the success that he had with Al Bundy. The only movie he has starred in that you might have heard of since then is “The Bone Collector”. He has made several attempts to get back into the television game, with such non-hits as “Big Apple” and “Dragnet”. He has also made some guest appearances in various tv shows, with the most notable be “The West Wing”. He is currently part of the cast of “John from Cincinnati” from HBO.

David Faustino

David Faustino has kept quite busy since “Married with Children”, though, not with
anything that matters. If you look at his post show resume, he would appear to be a
struggling actor, getting only bit parts in television shows. Occasionally he will make it into a movie, but not one that you heard of. Some of his televsion credits include, “The X-files”, “The Bernie Mac Show”, and “Nash Bridges”. He has just finished a film called “RoboDoc” and is currently filming a comedy of which i’m sure he’s not the star, called “Working Title” Yes that is the name of the movie.

Christina Applegate

Probably tied with Katey Sagal as the most successful(I’m being generous) post “Married with Children” castmate. She managed to get a few big movies, though she wasn’t the star, but had respectable parts. You may recall her being in the Camaron Diaz movie, “The Sweetest Thing”, or the film “View from the Top”, or perhaps “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy”. She also made a couple of appearances on the hit show “Friends”. She now has her own new show called “Samantha Who?” and has just finished up a movie called “The Rocker”.

Katey Sagal

Since “Married with Children” Katey Sagal has stayed working in television with a decent amount of success. She has made guest appearances on various shows, but has also had success on shows of her own. “8 Simple Rules” was a big hit, until John Ritter’s death, then it slowly faded away, but not until 2005. She has also enjoyed moderate success with “Futurama”. She voices the character, “Leela”. She currently has various “Futurama” projects coming out as well as “Jack and the Beanstalk”, which also stars Chevy Chase and James Earl Jones. She will play Jack’s mother.

Amanda Bearse

Amanda Bearse has only appeared in 3 other credited projects as an actress since “Married with Children”, none of them being worth mentioning. Her success has come as a director. She has managed to have a pretty successful career directing other television shows. Some of the shows include, “Dharma and Greg”, “Nikki”, “Reba”, and “George Lopez”. Here most recent work has been on “The Big Gay Sketch Show”.

Ted McGinley

Ted McGinley has managed to sneak his way into a few movies since “Married with Children”. One being “Major League: Back to the Minors”, and another playing a very small part in “Pearl Harbor”. He has also been in a few television shows, none of them being his own. These include “Sports Night”, “The West Wing”, and “Hope and Faith”. He has just finished up a couple of movies you will never see called, “Privileged” and “Eavesdrop”.

Buck

Buck the Dog passed away in 1996 at the age of 13. Buck had retired from the show before it’s end. His other credit inludes starring as the dog in “Scrooged” with Bill Murray.

David Garrison

Since playing Steve Rhoades on “Married with Children”, David Garrison has managed to keep busy making guest appearances on a pretty impressive list of television shows. Some of these shows include, “Judging Amy”, “Arli$$”, “The Practice”, “NYPD Blue”, and “The West Wing”. He doesn’t currently have any projects listed to come out anytime soon.

Ron Livingston

Since Office Space, Ron Livingston has managed to keep working. His finest achievement post Office Space would have to be the miniseries, “Band of Brothers”. He has been in a few other tv series as well, including “Sex in the City”, as well as providing voices for some Family Guy and American Dad episodes. He has also been in a few other movies including “Little Black Book”. He is rumored to be in “The Time Traveler’s Wife” starring Eric Bana, coming out in 2009.

David Herman

After giving an amazing and hilarious performance in Office Space, David Herman has spent his more recent years doing television voice work. He has provided voices for Futurama, American Dad, Invader Zim, and King of the Hill. He has also provided a voice for a few cartoon movies, and been in a few not so great movies in small parts, such as “Kicking and Screaming”, and “Fun with Dick and Jane”. His next effort is yet some more voice work in the upcoming Jerry Seinfeld project “Bee Movie.”

Ajay Naidu

Ajay Naidu has managed to keep working post Office Space. However he seems only to be able to grab bit parts. Some movies he’s managed to grab a few scences in are “Bad Santa”, “Requiem for a Dream”, “Hannibal”, and “K-PAX”. He has also made a couple of appearances on tv, in such shows as “Monk” and “The Sopranos”

Diedrich Bader

After Office Space, Diedrich Bader continued his work on “The Drew Carey Show”, and has since voiced some cartoons. The Buzz Light Year cartoon, Batman Beyond, King of the Hill, and Kim Possible are some of his credits. He has also made it into a few other movies, including the recent Balls of Fury, but his most memorable role post Office Space would probably be Rex in Napoleon Dynamite.

Stephen Root

Most of his post Milton work has been in the comedy field, along with his own resume of voice work, that seems to be a common theme with this cast. His comedies include “Dodgeball: A true Underdog Story”, and “Surviving Christmas”. His voice work includes various tv cartoons, as well as “Ice Age”, “Ice Age 2″, and “Finding Nemo”. An upcoming project for him is “Leatherheads”, which is directed by George Clooney.

Richard Riehle

Has literally made a career out of playing tiny parts in shows and movies that you have probably never seen or heard of. The man has a part in the Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson hit “wedding Crashers” as a funeral guest. Yeah, I didn’t see him either. I’m afraid he had nowhere to go after Office Space.

John C. McGinley

He has been a pretty busy guy post Office Space, though nothing ever made him a superstar. He is actually a pretty good actor, and has been in such movies as, “Get Carter”, “Any Given Sunday”, “The Animal”, and “Stealing Harvard”. He has enjoyed recent success in the show “Scrubs”.

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston

The only cast member that has gone on to become a superstar. She continued on “Friends” until the show ended making about a kajillion dollars, and then has since managed to have an extremely healthy movie career. Her personal life at times overshadows her career, but that’s just proof that she is in fact a superstar. Her most recent project coming out is, “He’s Just Not That Into You”. That’s appropriate.
