Publish Not your original work? Add source Just because we might love a particular actor doesn't automatically mean that acting is what they'll do for the rest of their lives. Some beloved actors, from child stars to grownup celebs, gave up acting and picked entirely different paths in their lives. While some became writers and reporters (in my biased opinion, the very best career paths ever), others were more adventurous with their aspirations, going for PhDs, working as nurses and soldiers, and even going into law. Bored Panda has dug deep to find out what former actors went on to do with their lives, so scroll on down, upvote the career path changes that you think are the coolest, and let us know which of these actors' roles you enjoyed in films the most. Hollywood's Ultimate Insider, Mike Sington, explained to Bored Panda that some fans believe that acting is a lifelong career because they only hear about them when they're acting. "When they take a regular job, they fall out of the media's attention and fans forget about them," the celebrity and entertainment industry expert said. Read on for our full interview with Mike!

"It's difficult to switch careers for an actor because doing so brings with it a feeling of failure, which it shouldn't. And switching careers is done under public scrutiny for actors, which makes it even more difficult," celeb expert Mike said. #4Jeff Cohen Who Played Chunk In The Goonies Is Now A Lawyer

View more comments He pointed out that establishing a career as a successful actor is a huge accomplishment and it doesn't happen as often as we might think. Giving up such an accomplishment in exchange for something else is "a major risk." Though the expert added that "at times, you have to do what you have to do." Difficult, life-changing decisions shouldn't be made lightly, but they shouldn't be a prison that stops you from your other dreams, either. #7Mara Wilson Who Played The Titular Character In Matilda Is Now A Writer

View more comments What's important in these moments of career transition is keeping a positive mindset on the one hand and having a clear-cut action plan on the other. Being optimistic and grateful for what you have will sustain you in moments of difficulty while having even a rough idea of what you need to do will move you forward and give you a sense of accomplishment. So, despite all the media attention and the uncertainty, sometimes you've got to aim for your dreams-even if that means leaving something that you love, like acting, behind. #28Lark Voorhies Who Played Lisa Turtle In Saved By The Bell Is Now A Writer
