Barret Oliver starred in a lot of my favorite childhood films.
"The NeverEnding Story"
D.A.R.Y.L.
Cocoon
One of the last films I remembered him in was
The Secret Garden .
After that he kind of just disappeared. Where did he go?
I searched online and it seems he just didn't wanna act anymore.
He's supposedly a photography teacher and is one of the last disciples of the Wet Plate technique. Wet Plate is a 19 Century photography technique.
Example of the Wet Plate Technique

I think it's admirable that he didn't follow the $$$ and instead chose to
do something he actually loved.
