lol "Moreanus"
shareHe became a Hoser. He now lives off of ODSP cheques for his ''bad back'' in Hamilton Ontario and hangs out at the Tim Horton's hours on end drinking beer and vaping with his Hoser buddies in the parking lot. I have observed this with my own eyes. He has gone back to his roots.
shareHe is extremely choosy over the roles he's offered.
shareLookup the real story, it's not what you think.
shareFrom Wikipedia
Moranis married costume designer Ann Belsky in 1986; together they had two children, Rachel and Mitchell. Belsky died of cancer in February 1991. Moranis then slowly left the spotlight to dedicate his life to their 2 children.share

His children must be grown by now. Is he ever going to return to acting?
shareI LOVE THE DUDE AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM BACK.ESPECIALLY IN GHOSTBUSTERS 3.HOWEVER,AFTER SUCH A LONG HIATUS TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY.WHY WOULD HE COME BACK?RESPECT EITHER WAY.
shareProbably not. He's at retirement age now. Are you gonna work into your late 60's or early 70's??
shareI probably will, lol.
shareFYI it's common for ordinary people to keep working up to age 70 and beyond, for financial reasons.
But even if Moranis doesn't need money, he could keep acting into his sixties, seventies, or eighties, if he was healthy enough... and he wanted to. Acting isn't coal mining, it's not one of those jobs that's so demanding that it's limited to the young and fit. Someone has to play the scene-stealing grandpas, after all!
Sure it happens but majority of Americans do not. Usually if someone is working that long they need the cash. Which is ok. I'm not shaming them because I will probably work until I cannot. But I find it funny that people question why am actor isn't working well after most people want to retire but they don't question if a friend or family member are not working until 66-70....they just accept it...lol
And sure acting isn't as hard on the body...but neither is being a school teacher or secretary....yet guess what..
They almost all retire before 70....heck most school teachers I know either do or want to retire before 60...lmao...
He's been working all this time. He does voice work and writing for the NY Times.

He also teaches acting and theater at his local college.
shareHe's happy doing what he does. He also realized he doesn't miss the Hollywood lifestyle. So really no motivation to return.
shareI hope they bring him back for a cameo in the new Ghostbusters flick.

So, What the hell happened?share
Sadly, Rick Moranis’ wife died of liver cancer in 1991. In 1997, Moranis decided to take a break from film-making. As Moranis himself explained, “I’m a single parent and I just found that it was too difficult to manage raising my kids and doing the traveling involved in making movies. So I took a little bit of a break. And the little bit of a break turned into a longer break, and then I found that I really didn’t miss it”.
So that’s it. That’s the answer to the question, What the hell happened to Rick Moranis? It’s a lot cleaner than the answer I usually come up with in these articles.
