He said himself he never retired. He stepped away for awhile to focus on his family after his wife died. He has also said in the past that acting offers just dried up. He hit pause, and the industry just moved on.
That might be literally true, that people just stopped calling with offers. But I don't believe for a second that if he showed up to a casting for some comedy, he wouldn't be offered something on the spot.
Like a small cameo, but probably not a major role?
Even a major role.
He's Rick Moranis!
If needs be, it would make sense to re-write the script for his return to movies!
I appreciate your enthusiasm. But nobody born after 1998 even knows who he is.
