I just had a look on imdb to see what happened to Alex Winter (who played Bill in the Bill & Ted films) and unlike Keanu Reeves, he's had a rather mediocre career playing the odd TV role (a total of five since the last film). Shame really because you can't really say KR was the better actor...

Neither of them were good actors, but Keanu was prettier.

Don't you start as well. I have yet to cure my friend Maria of her infatuation with KR...

Quite a few gaps in there, too. Well, he seems to be surviving.

He directed a lot of adverts in the UK in the late 90s, actually. Stuff that wouldn't show up on IMDb.

*nods* Taking a different line is fair enough. And considering the big names, he's probably loaded, too.

Yes, he also does a lot of theatre which will not be listed on imdb.com

Same thing with "Ghost World": Thora Birch really was the better actress, but for some reason Scarlett Johannson was the one to hit stardom.

Very strange.

Not really strange though, is it? Thora Birch followed up Ghost World with Dungeons & Dragons, Scarlett Johannson went for Lost in Translation and The Man Who Wasn't There.

Okay, so maybe Dungeons & Dragons was a bit of a bad move....

Well, except that Dungeons and Dragons is earlier than Ghost World.

I always get her confused with Thora Hird. Can't help.

He's not done too badly. Not Keanu Reeves famous, but then not everyone wants that.

"Winter works between his American home base and London, where he directs music videos and commercials. Highlights of his work include directing several installments of the popular Peugeot Thelma & Louise campaign, as well as campaigns for Ford, the global launch of the all CGI Tony the Tiger for Frosties, and award-winning spots for Supercuts and Google in the US."
