It was great to have Christina Ricci in Wednesday. It's a very nice passing of the torch. I having nothing against Jenna Oretga, but Ricci will always be Wednesday to me

[@abellewis3062]

Enough said.

[@trinaq]

Precisely, it was fantastic to see the old Wednesday act against the current Wednesday! 😍

[@randomguypostanimeupdates6703]

I'm so happy to see Christina Ricci to see a role of Wednesday then Tim burton made Wednesday then time I see Jenna Ortega also I love it then is why I love to see more s2 in wednesday a

[@saramarshall2957]

Some probably feel the same way about the original Wednesday Addams, and people from this generation may feel the same way about Jenna. For me, it's Christina too

[@brennanbaudot1331]

The lady that is describing Ariana Richards she is a actress not a actor

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

Christina Ricci's appearance in Wednesday was so mind blowing.

[@BB13131313]

Ricci went from child star to teen idol to respected dramatic actor all before she turned 18..

[@karmabum21]

Really? No Elijah Wood?!?!?! He should've been number 1. He has been going strong for decades!

[@JamesDavy2009]

From North to Frodo and Spyro.

[@abellewis3062]

Let's be real, how many people knew Christina Ricci would be number one? Nobody? Just me? Okay.

[@samuelcollantes1175]

Apperantly Wednesday became Mrs Thornhill (Aka Maryl , Laurel) happy friday Ms Mojo, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[@RevanLockheart-]

JTT Smallville role has gone almost unnoticed.

[@turtleamor2001]

Great list! Where was Elijah Wood?

[@vesbarrow]

No, most of us where introduced to Jennifer Love Hewitt in Sister Act 2.

[@johnnikag9592]

Just missing Elijah Wood and Devon Sawa.

[@NickCC23]

Was a BIG fan of Six in Blossom.

[@icheer2012]

What about Raven Simone????

[@marlonclark-pp9wg]

And Frankie Muniz

[@MockingbirdTheatrics]

No Elijah Wood???? Epic fail!!!

[@connorlammin8189]

How did I not realise Terry in The Big Show Show on Netflix was urkel?!

[@denisefreitas6727]

Christina Ricci is amazing! Love Anna Chlumsky and Thora Birch too.

[@kamsismith]

I'm glad Mara Wilson is doing well for herself. I always wondered why she never had more roles after Matilda, but after hearing everything that she went through, mostly her mom’s death and being sexualized at a young age, I don't blame her for becoming a writer.

[@trinaq]

Agreed, Mara penned a really articulate piece for Cracked, on how Child Stars are typically set up to fail. I'm so glad that she's keeping well, and thriving in her career.

[@karlc2869]

Mara also penned an essay on Britney in 2021.

[@karlc2869]

BTW not all child stars crash. Look at Ron Howard. Thanks, girl.

[@celticpoet21]

Great list! Michelle Trachtnenberg was also the hostess for the discovery kids show "Truth or Scare" and a guest unsub on "Criminal Minds". Christina Ricci was awesome on Wednesday, it took me a while to even recognize her!

[@marlonclark-pp9wg]

Michelle Trachtenberg is also the host of the crime documentary meet, Mary and murder.

[@Animeguy300]

Top 10 2000's where are they now

[@scarletttyson4622]

Haley Joel Osment also voiced Kash and Buzzsaw from Camp Cretaceous and Nine realms funny that he gone from a child who sees dead people to voicing two insane bad guys 😂😈

[@TheLonelySoulja]

Wow he was Kash in that show. Who’s Buzzsaw?

[@mimibelta259]

And his sister Emily osment is also an actress who stared in Hannah Montana and young and hungry

[@abellewis3062]

Anna Chlumsky did a good job in that movie They/Them. Amen.

[@trinaq]

That film had a promising plot, but such a long execution. She was probably the only decent part about it.

[@abellewis3062]

@@trinaq I enjoyed it.

[@bennymora3086]

Those child actors were so great! The characters they played were really iconic😎

[@marybarry2230]

Haley Joel made his acting debut in a little known film, called Forrest Gump

[@bartoszmiedzinski3232]

Kirsten Dunst ?? Hello?

[@richardchristie3203]

They forgot about Elijah Wood too

[@abellewis3062]

I enjoyed Melissa Joan Hart in God's Not Dead 2. That's a good movie. Enough said.

[@biancamoore413]

I like these videos so much

[@thebigorangecouch6261]

Using that term "substance use disorder" is so cringeworthy.

[@manueltapia1859]

Christina Ricci was good too in Oposite of Sex, Buffalo 66 and Sleepy Hollow😊. Still don't get why "fans" tormented Jake Lloyd he was a kid they ruined his life 😮

[@BB13131313]

She was also great in The Ice Storm..

[@matthijssmeets9325]

Haley Joel Osment is amazing as Sora in the Kingdom Hearts videogames!

[@erzaender]

jennifer love hewitt i see in every movie and tv show

[@EmmaBentzin]

Christina Ricci rocks Katrina masbath from Tim Burton's sleepy hollow team johnny Depp

[@leslieroycroft3569]

I am rooting for Amanda Bines. She was such a great comedic actor. She’s all that was actually pretty entertaining thanks to her, I think it could’ve really been a flop but she was great. It sucks what money and fame can so easily do to young people. So sad to hear about Jake Lloyd too. To hear that so many people around him verbally abused him when he was so little over a role in a f’ing movie and where his life headed, it’s just devastating. Hope he finds his peace too.

[@Knors666able]

What happened to Abigail Breslin?

[@dianag208]

she's a 2000's kid actress

[@whedonite81]

Technically she is a 2000's star not a 90's star, but she has continued acting. She was in Zombieland 1 & 2, a remake of Dirty Dancing that I loved, Scream Queens by writer/director Ryan Murphy who also did American Horror Story & Glee and a bunch of other stuff.

[@TheAmarok87]

She was born in 1996, so she hardly lived through the 90s

[@froggy8030]

I can't believe you forgot Elijah Wood

[@pharge]

It is so sad to see so many of them fell off badly in their life…😢

[@gfear24]

I had a massive crush on Jenna Von Oy.

[@marlonclark-pp9wg]

me too

[@katherineknapp4370]

😊

[@TheLonelySoulja]

Didn’t even mentioned JTT in Smallville.

[@4175flav]

Did I miss Raven?????

[@AlexandelHowl]

Love the list!! Honorable Mention : Andrew Keegan and Devon Sawa ❤

[@psgamer-0199]

I'm so freaking happy to have decided on watching Yellowjackets when I heard Christina Ricci was in it. And that was by the time Wednesday was premiering.

[@traydevon]

It’s not MOWry like “mower.” It’s Mowry like “how.”

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

That’s interesting!

[@crimsondeath84]

Fun fact: Edward Furlong, starred in Pet Sematary and despite the negative reviews of the movie, I believe he truly stole the show

[@rebekahhollybaker]

Can you please do Home Improvement Stars: Where They Are Now?

[@heidiheisele8608]

How come they didn't mention Drew Barrymore and Elijah Wood??

[@Windlespoon]

They were children in the 80s, they were young adults in the 90s.

[@BB13131313]

​@@WindlespoonDrew Barrymore yes, but Elijah Wood is the same age as Christina Ricci and Macaulay Culkin..

[@justineves3588]

Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever you should do a part 2 of this great list please 😊❤

[@michaelbradley5603]

Thanks

[@MsMojo]

Thank you so much for your support! :)

[@sarahramsey9454]

grew up watching these 90's starlets absolutely loved that era sometimes still watch them now but not all

[@richardkirwan9244]

Everyone stopped watching SNL in 2002

[@COMPFUNK2]

Kenan Thompson debuted on SNL in 2003, not 2002.

[@naldo-zm4uu]

Yellowjackets is not as popular as it should be

[@kelleyk28]

I loved Thora Birch in "The Hole". It was filmed in England, I think, so most people might not know it. If you can find it, it's definitely worth a watch. Also has Desmond Harrington and Keira Knightly. The Good Son was awesome! I never expected either boys to go so dark and serious.

[@98talberg]

I loved Thora Birch on Homeless to Harvard.

[@evander6663]

This is cool

[@SabrinaVoineaSStolenMedal]

Love Hewitt can't act. the end

[@iwasanangryyoungman]

No mention of Taylor Momsen from “The Grinch”? Macaulay Culkin was also back in peak form in HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones
