90s actors: Within each other's reach, yet they never worked together?


The 90s was good for having all-star type casting in movies and tv shows, especially coming from Young Hollywood. The kids and teen genre in specific were so full, sometimes the actors would eventually end up appearing together in anything, including commercials. Hell, sometimes they even appeared together in multiple works, in spirit of the acting trend. However, sometimes they missed each other too, even though they should've been inevitable co-workers. Do you guys have any examples of this happening? I'll list a few down below.


My own examples:

Macaulay Culkin and Christina Ricci- They demonstrate the 90(s) degrees of Hollywood in full affect. They're two of the most famous child stars of the 90s, starring in the same kind of movies, and alongside common actors. It's beyond me to know they were never in the same movie ever.

Kirsten Dunst and Christina Ricci- They zeroed in on the same movie a few times already and only managed an unnoticeable interaction in "Small Soldiers". I don't think they've been nearby since then, as many movies as they've been in post-90s.

Elijah Wood and Anna Chlumsky- I think these two were friends, nevermind how they almost came about in the movie "My Girl".


Your turn folks. I figured I should make this post before the message boards close down.

Good list....it would have been great to see Macaulay and Christina in a movie.

For real. They probably would've made a lot of money together.

I always wished James Spader and Lara Flynn Boyle had worked together. He joined The Practice in its last year. Unfortunately, she wasn't in the last season, though she had been in all the others.

I know this technically wasn't in the 90s, but the show started in 1998 so I'm grandfathering it in. Plus, Boyle at least, is best known for her work in the 90s.
