I was watching a show the other day...and it had a cameo of Dick Butkus in it (formerly of the Chicago Bears and a handful of TV shows.

Anyone know if Dick Butkus or Staci Keanen from My Two Dads have done any other TV since that show? It was a favorite with my youngest son some 15 years ago.

Who else are you curious about because you haven't seen them in ages?

I saw Dick Butkus a couple times since "Step by Step" left ABC's lineup. He played a basketball coach on a Saturday morning show a few years ago (don't remember the name, but there was a blonde teenage girl playing on the boys team; show was set at an Indiana high school). I also remember Dick did color commentary for a few of those XFL football games (the now defunct league started by Vince McMahon of WWF fame).

I saw somewhere that Staci Keanan was in college...it's been several years ago, so she'd likely graduated by now.

As far as celebrities that have dropped off the earth, whatever happened to the stars of "CHiPS" (Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox)?

There are so many former stars I've found via the internet....Lisa Whelchel (who played Blair on "Facts of Life" has a website about homeschooling, books she's written; even pics of her kids. She's still as pretty as ever too :)

Thank God for Google....I just entered "Dick Butkus basketball coach"...and wallah...I find websites galore...

The show was called "Hang Time", and after Butkus left the show....former NBA star Reggie Theus also played the high school coach.

Anybody notice Anna Nicole Smith? Has she gone down the tubes since her pornstar days! And now she's trying to make a come-back with "The Anna Nicole Show"? PULEEZE!!! Besides, who needs her when you've got Annabelle (she be a ho')?
