π Birthday, age 70 in 2023 on April 18
Following the death of his wife in 1991, the difficulty of raising their two children on his own, and his increasing disenchantment with Hollywood, Moranis retired from acting in 1997. He had intended the retirement to be a sabbatical of a couple of years, but later realized that he did not miss the pressure. He still does occasional voice work. Another sequel to Honey I Shrunk the Kids has been in development since 2021, but no filming has taken place yet.
