From TGIF and Must See TV to the Rachel Green hair obsession, there was a lot to savor about this decade in at-home entertainment. The TV scene also produced plenty of stars we still cherish today, like the kids from Dawson's Creek and Jessica Biel from Seventh Heaven and the amazing Julia-Louis Dreyfus. But there were some '90s stars who have completely slipped off the radar since their 15 minutes ran out. Here are some '90s stars you may have totally forgotten about... Andrew Keegan This poster boy for the teen beat generation was all over the place in his prime. Not only did he star in some of the biggest small screen hits like Boy Meets World and Full House, but he also had a burgeoning film career in movies like 10 Things I Hate About You, Camp Nowhere, and Independence Day. Somewhere around the end of his 7th Heaven run, though, Keegan's acting gigs became increasingly inconspicuous. That's when he dared to be different...and turned his efforts towards the pseudo-religious instead. In 2014, Keegan founded Full Circle, a spiritual movement of sorts that touts the virtues of synchronicity and the relevance of time and togetherness. That's certainly a strange career twist for the guy who played Joey Donner. “Which one do you like better?” “Um...I think I like the white shirt better.” “Yeah, it’s, it’s more…” “Pensive?” “Dang I was going for thoughtful.” Marla Sokoloff In another installment of stars from TV gone MIA, you might remember Marla Sokoloff as the girl who got Stephanie Tanner to smoke in Full House or as Joey's pregnant sister in Friends. But her career was quite prolific back in the day. Like Keegan, Marla Sokoloff is also an alum of Boy Meets World, Party of Five, and 7th Heaven and starred in a genre-defining film, Dude, Where's My Car? She didn't go off and start her own religion, of course, but after a couple of regular roles in The Practice and Desperate Housewives she did quietly retreat into a life outside of the spotlight where she raises her kids and blogs for People about motherhood. That last gig got her name back in the newsfeeds for a split-second when parents raged out about her decision to stop telling her baby "no," but otherwise, she's remained fully rooted in the throwback realm. Tahj Mowry Tia and Tamera Mowry might've shared the biggest spotlight of their family, but little brother Tahj was no slouch on the small screen scene either. As a child, he was perhaps best-known for his long-running role on Smart Guy, but he also popped up in a number of other scene-stealing guest roles along the way to his starring role: like when he appeared as Michelle Tanner's playground pal Teddy in Full House. After he ditched the kid’s roles, Tahj found a long-running gig on the show Baby Daddy. But beyond acting, he fancies himself something of a Renaissance man of creative talent these days, also dabbling in music. Jenna von Oy Remember Blossom? Of course you do. The actress who played her got a second career wind courtesy of Big Bang Theory. However, the actress Jenna von Oy, who played Blossom's sidekick, Six, has not been so fortunate. After her five-year stint as Blossom's fast-talking bestie, von Oy moved on to lots of bit parts until her next long-term role in the cast of The Parkers, which wasn't exactly another breakthrough for her. As an adult, von Oy has taken to writing and blogging, with her first book, Situation Momedy, released in 2015, and a sequel due in 2017. But the most memorable thing about her will always be her big hair and those epic crushes she had on the set of Blossom. Sherry Stringfield When this hot-shot actress walked away from her career-making role as Dr. Susan Lewis on E.R. after just two years, no one understood why. She was on the biggest show on television, making tons of money for it, and she'd already walked away from similarly brief stints on Guiding Light and NYPD Blue. It was almost like she was allergic to fame, which she kind of was. The long hours and intense filming schedules for each were reportedly taking a toll on her body, so she bowed out of what might've been long-term opportunities on each of the programs she ditched. Stringfield's hiatus from the biz only really lasted a couple of years before she returned to acting with a few movies and a role on Under the Dome, but her name is nowhere near marquee status anymore. Beverley Mitchell Now let's be real here. Jessica Biel is pretty much the only breakout star of 7th Heaven, which means her slew of on-screen siblings have been left in the dust. One such sad sister is Beverley Mitchell, whose turn as Lucy Camden has yet to be replicated in her career. She did have a brief resurgence into the mainstream on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, which was another wholesome, family-centric show. But if you're looking for her now, chances are you'll have to turn to the terrible TV movie scene and the straight-to-DVD bargain bin. Like so many other actors of her ilk, it seems, she's also now a blogger in her spare time. Barry Watson Pour one out for Matt Camden, the quintessentially '90s-haired eldest child on 7th Heaven, because his real-life counterpart Barry Watson has had some trouble finding his footing in Hollywood after the show's end. He got into movies during the show's run and had a couple of low-budget thriller hits, but after brief runs on the shows What About Brian and Samantha Who?, opportunities seemed to dry up. And by dry up, we mean he starred in a Lifetime Christmas movie about a con man who's forced by his parole officer to take a job as a mall Santa, which is the acting equivalent of using your MBA to manage a supermarket.
