Whither Rick Moranis?

Stefan brought up an excellent point to me the other day: what the heck happened to Rick Moranis? He's a pretty funny guy. He had a good career. Why did he fall off the face of the Earth? Where did he go?

Well, apparently, he's submitting articles to McSweeney's.

I don't know what I think of the article itself, but it's nice to see him back in the public eye.

I believe Moranis' wife died of cancer some years back. I think he took some time off, moved to New York with his kids, and focused on a more low key career making music and writing.

I expect we'll see a bit more of him in the years ahead. Oh, and his country album (originally done as a bit of a lark) was nominated for a Grammy last year.
