so justin, in his infinite wisdom, made a comment on one of my posts a little while back questioning where the stars that we loved in the 80s and 90s are now??? that got me thinking...and so i've decided to do a weekly 'where are they now' segment.
first up, dave coulier (aka - uncle joey from full house)
professional life:up until its cancellation in 1995, dave was best known as uncle jesse on 'full house' however, he also starred in the children's comedy series out of control and hosted 'america's funniest people' and 'opportunity knocks'. continuing with his voice work for cartoon characters, he did voice work in the movie 'yogi bear and the magical flight of the spruce goose' as well as 'felix the cat'.
his acting career included roles in disney channel original movies 'the thirteenth year' and 'the even stevens movie' as well as some work on nickelodeon in the movie 'shredderman rules'. in 2000 he founded his own children's centered entertainment company, 'f3 entertainment'.
he has also had a slew of reality tv show appearances. in 2003 he appeared on the 3rd season of VH1's 'the surreal life' with adrianne curry and chirstopher knight (who would later marry), da brat, chyna doll, marcus schenkenberg, verne troyer and jane wiedlin. in 2006 he appeard on fox's 'skating with the stars' where he was paired with olympic silver medalist nancy kerrigan.
currently, dave finds himself a member of duck's breath mystery theater - a touring comedy troupe as well as host of the series animal kidding. ha has been a kids choice awards host, and stars as mr. byrd in the tv movie shredderman rules which came out last year.
personal life:
dave was married for two years to fashion model jayne modean and together they had one son named luc. dave was alleged to be alanis morissette's first lover and it is widely speculated that he is the man referenced in her bitter song 'you oughta know' (although neither party will confirm this.)
he is also an avid fan of professional hockey, specifically the detroit red wings as was evident on his tenure on 'full house' by his red wings jersey and various red wings posters on uncle joey's bedroom walls. dave was a member of the celebrity all-stars hockey team where he played along side jason priestley, matthew perry, michael j. fox, alan thicke, michael keaton, and richard dean anderson.
if you have someone who you loved to watch as a kid and are wondering what happened to them, let me know...i'll do a little research and get you in the know...

I always like him. I'm glad to see he's still doing his thing. Sad to hear about the Surreal life thing, seems like he's better than that.
Reading this reminded me he was on AFP, co-hosted by Daisy Fuentes, now of "Kohls" women's clothing fame. Then again, I didn't wonder what she was up to.
