Line 48:
* A common theme for [[Nickelodeon]] series with young cast members:
** ''[[Are You Afraid of the Dark?]]'' was rebooted in the late 90's, and brought back most of the Midnight Society members from the original series. However, one of the "new" society members was played by a little-known actress named Elisha Cuthbert, who shot to stardom two years later after being cast in ''[[24]]''. The rest of the group never achieved the same level of stardom as she did (although a couple of the cast members were able to make a servicable career out of bit parts and supporting character roles).
** Of the teen cast members who starred on the 90's series ''[[Hey, Dude!]]'', only Christine Taylor (who played Melody) and David Lascher (who played Ted McGriff) had anything close to successful careers. Taylor is arguably more well-known because of her marriage to [[Ben Stiller]] and her steady stream of work over the years, while Lascher disappeared during the 2000's after starring in supporting roles in a handful of teen series (''[[Blossom]]'', ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]''). The rest of the ''Hey Dude'' cast, whether by choice or limitations, never acted again in any professional capacity.
** ''[[Space Cases]]''. Of the main cast, only [[Jewel Staite]] (who played Catalina in the first season) went on to become a greater star (via her roles in ''[[Firefly]]'' and ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'') after the show finished. Walter Jones (of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' fame) was relegated to bit parts and one-off appearances in various series, and the rest of the cast never bothered to do much after the series ended.
** ''[[Kenan and Kel]]''. Since the end of the show, Kenan has gone on to join [[Saturday Night Live]] and has been a few moderately successful films. Kel hasn't done so much.
Line 77:
* In the same vein, [[Kenny Rogers]] left The First Edition behind to become a successful country/adult contemporary singer.
** Was attempted by the lead singer of his first group, The Scholars.
* The girl group Choice had a song "Key to My Heart" which appeared on the soundtrack for ''Kazaam''. When it broke up, Sharon Flanagan went nowhere, Chrissy Conway had fair success with Christian rock group Zoegirl, and the third girl? Alecia Moore is now known as [[PinkP!nk]].
* Wild Orchid had a couple albums, and was reasonably successful. Stacy Ferguson left them to become Fergie and join the [[Black Eyed Peas]]. The rest? Some voicework and songwriting, at best.
* When [[Sonny And Cher]] split, Cher went on to have a great career in music and film. Sonny went into politics. He died in 1998, after leading the charge that led to the [[Copy Protection|Digital Millennium Copyright Act]].
