Have you ever seen any good movie that features an excellent main character? The main character in that film might have done something funny or memorable to make the movie excellent. You recognize that talent and want to keep track of that actor in the next roles that he or she plays in; however, when you keep your eyes and ears tuned to move trailers that are circulating the web and previews in cinemas, you do not see them featured.

Surely there are hundreds if not thousands of actors and celebrities that are in Hollywood, but there are some key performers that have good movies and just vanish from the spotlight. Here is a short list of these actors and what they are doing now.

1) Brendan Fraser

The original star of the "Mummy" franchise, Fraser is known for his roles in "George of the Jungle," "Crash," and "Gods and Monsters." Fraser is known for his funny gestures and action-packed roles. In 2008, he had a really awful divorce with his former wife and actress Afton Smith that put a strain on his personal life. Originally Afton wanted Fraser to pay $900,000 in child support every year, but in 2013, Fraser petitioned the courts for a reduction of alimony payments. Recently Fraser has starred as background roles in lesser known movies, but it seems that his career will make a comeback since he has some movies lined up in 2017 for post-production: "The Field" and "Behind the Curtain of Night."

2) Kal Penn

After playing stoner roles in "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle," "Van Wilder," and on the TV show "House," Penn accepted an offer to work under the Obama Administration as an Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. He starred in other minor roles since then, but will be returning to television in the ABC drama series "Designated Survivor."

3) Josh Hartnett

Hartnett had roles in "Black Hawk Down," "Pearl Harbor," and "Thirty Days of Night." However, Hartnett decided to take a break due to being overwhelmed by fame. Recently, he and his girlfriend had a child and nowadays he has joined a lot of political causes.

4) Cameron Diaz

This might be a surprising one on the list because she has had a recent movie, "Annie," released in 2014. Diaz is known for voicing Fiona in "Shrek," "The Mask," "There's Something About Mary" and "My Best Friend's Wedding." The reason why you don't see her in film anymore is that she has been busy. She has recently published two books, "The Body Book: Feed, Move, Understand and Love Your Amazing Body” and “The Longevity Book: The Science of Aging, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time.” Perhaps she will return to the spotlight, but it is not surprising to hear that she wants a break from all of this.

Hopefully, these stars will make a return to the big screen someday. When that happens, be sure to see them perform in film.
