his career was over around 2000 so how did he come back a few years ago? i mean you never see tiffany amber theissen anymore. and this is extremely rare other than corey feldman i can't think of a former child actor whose career was over about five years after being a child star and then they suddenly out of nowhere have a big career again about 20 years after they last had any career.
shareI guess it's because he kept his nose clean and tried to do the best he could. He's actually built up a pretty decent resume beyond Saved by the Bell.
shareHe never really went away. His stint on NYPD Blue was pretty highly regarded and he had that Franklin and Bash thing that ran a while. Thiessen had a big long running role on White Collar. All these guys have been working in cable tv for years. Sooner or later they stumble back into primetime.
shareyeah but this is different what he is on now, the passage because this is a huge, widely publicized show on a big network, Fox. doesn't it seem to you out of the blue him all of a sudden after so many small projects having a big project like this one so far into his career after being a child actor? i mean can you think of any other child actors from the '80s who have had a role on this big of a show 30 years after they were a child actor?
i mean even drew barrymore the biggest and the ultimate child actor is now not even acting anymore and hasn't been for about 10 years. also no other actor from saved by the bell has acted in the last 10 years. but after i posted this i thought about it and i can understand how he is on a big show now 30 years after saved by the bell started and it's this: there are literally thousands of shows on tv right now which means that there is so many more opportunities for an actor to act on a big show on a big network than there ever was before 10 years ago. so when you consider this it's not impressive at all the fact that he is now on a big show on a big network and playing a big role on this show.
Tiffany Amber Theissen was in the USA show White Collar for years - that ended a few years ago and she is in some other show right now
shareThis didn't age well. He is working regularly.
