Full House Cast: Then & Now
« on: June 19, 2009, 12:55:05 AM »
Saw this scroll through on My! Yahoo! page, and figured it was worth posting...

http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/full-house-cast-then-now--413

Please note, I bolded the more important news coming up that I have not seen posted on here, like Candace coming back in the spotlight on ABC Family, or Andrea has a page on Facebook.  I don't know who here is on BOTH Twitter and Facebook, but I'm now following Andrea, Dave, and Candace on both Twitter and Facebook.  FUN!  :)

The MAJOR highlights in case you're not interested in reading....  :)

1. John was on 4 Seasons of ER (until the Series Finale this past May)  :( He also continued to explore his musical roots, playing drums with The Beach Boys. Next up for John is the TV movie "Baby Love," about the real-life Project Cuddle, an organization that saves abandoned infants.

2. Bob's sitcom on ABC, called 'Surviving Suburbia", didn't last longer than half a season.  Due to poor ratings (under a million viewers an episode), the series was canceled after 6 episodes.

3. Coulier continues to be a successful voiceover actor and occasionally appears in front of the camera on such shows as "Opportunity Knocks" and "The Surreal Life." This year he was cast by Rick Moranis to replace him in the McKenzie Brothers cartoon "Bob and Doug." Dave also found himself taking the reins from his ex-"House" co-star Bob Saget as the Commissioner of Promotion for the lucha libre wrestling group Chikara. But Dave's not just a mouthpiece; he's actually competed in a tag-team match with the world's smallest man, He Pingping.  He was also partnered with Nancy Kerrigan on "Skating with Celebrities".

4. When "Full House" ended, Cameron went back to the guest-star circuit, appearing on series like "Boy Meets World" and "Cybill." But after marrying NHL hockey player Valeri Bure in 1996 and starting a full house of her own (they have three kids too), Cameron decided to leave show biz to devote her attention to her family. As her children got older, she started to ease back into acting, first as a host on the VH1 special "50 Cutest Child Stars: All Grown Up" and then on sitcoms like "That's So Raven." But this month marks Candace's return as a series regular when her new show, "Make It or Break It," premieres on ABC Family.

5. After "Full House" ended, the 13-year-old wanted a normal life for a while. So she left acting after a few more small roles and went back to school, first earning her diploma from Los Alamitos High School and then graduating with a liberal arts degree from Chapman University, in Southern California. But Jodie's post-"House" years have not been easy. The 27-year-old has only acted sporadically, has admitted to a two-year addiction to meth, and has already married and divorced twice. Don't worry... you’ll be able to read about all the juicy details in her upcoming autobiography, "unSweetined."

6. Lori roamed from show to show after "House's" cancellation, settling briefly on series like "Summerland" and "In Case of Emergency." But nothing stuck until 2008, when she was offered the role of Debbie Wilson, one of the token adults on the nighttime high school soap "90210." In real life, Lori married fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, just one year after divorcing her first husband, Michael Burns. Does Mossimo's name sound familiar? It should if you shop at Target: he’s the man behind the retailer's popular clothing line.

7. When "Full House" ended, Andrea went back to class, graduating from La Serna High School in Whittier, California, and studying English at Whittier College. Her academic experiences abroad in Denmark led to her later role as the director of Whittier's Study Abroad program. Barber lived in England for a time with her husband, Jeremy Rytky, and their two children, Tate and Felicity Ruth. These days she chats with fans on her Facebook page about making snickerdoodles for bake sales and doing the Camp Pendelton Mud Run.

Some pretty interesting stuff in there that we hadn't heard until now.  Jodie Sweetin's autobiography should probably clarify some of the more recent relapse and custody problem rumours.

I wonder how Candace's new show will do.  I don't think I'll have the opportunity to see it but if others do they can fill me in, lol.

David doing the Bob & Doug show is very interesting because I actually picked Rick Moranis as the alternative Joey in that one thread.  It's one of his impersonations that sounds a lot like him.

I feel like I'm jumping from idea to idea, lol, but here it goes.  My love of Beach Boys music tells me John has really worked with the real "band" for about 10 years.  There's really only one original members actually there, lol.

Hmm, that sounds interesting.  I'll probably watch Candace's new show because I usually like ABC Family shows, so I'll at least give it a shot.  And Jodie's autobiography sounds interesting, I'll definitely be reading that.

Wow, Lori's probably been one of the easier stars for me to track after Full House [besides MKA Olsen, of course!]. I definitely see her on 90210 regularly, and I KNEW there was something about the name "Mossimo" on the Target clothes I've gotten. :D You should also include Mary-Kate and Ashley too though, I haven't heard much from them lately. Besides a few photos from fashion shows or just walking around New York.
I love these guys <3

hah its funny how the Olsen Twins weren't mentioned. But they recognized enough anyways, so why bother including them in this article? lol And Thanks for posting this article, nice find! It's always interesting to see what the FH characters are doing now.

EDIT: 14,000th post! Yippy! xD

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was because they were easy enough to track anyways.  They have a fair amount of the spotlight even today, while the others could more easily be missed by the average person growing up with Full House or otherwise.
