You probably know him from the monster ’80s classic Bill & Ted\u2019s Excellent Adventure<\/strong><\/a><\/em>, but besides the recent sequel, Alex Winter<\/a><\/strong> hasn’t been seen in many other projects over the years. Turns out there a reason for that, and it isn’t a good one. Read on to find out what happened to Alex Winter that made him not want to act anymore.<\/p>\n

Winter was born in 1965 in London, England. His mother was a dancer who studied under renowned choreographer Martha Graham, and started a modern-dance company in London and his father, also a dancer, founded the Mid American Dance Company in St. Louis. Having two parents as performers meant he was around the industry from birth, and got trained at an early age. After his parents divorced, he moved to New York City<\/a><\/strong> to live with his mother.<\/p>\n

Winter started acting in school plays, and by 12 years old he was acting on stage with legendary actor Yul Brynner in The King and I<\/em>. He also had a part in Peter Pan<\/em> and Close of Play<\/em>. He ended up going to NYU film school but dropped out senior year to move to Hollywood with a friend, where he wrote and directed some music videos and shorter movies. He kept acting though, padding his resume with parts in Rosalie Goes Shopping<\/em> and Lost Boys<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He got his proverbial big break when he starred opposite Keanu Reeves in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure<\/em> in 1989. That’s when things really started to heat up in his career and he signed on to develop a sketch show for MTV called Idiot Box<\/em> in 1991. Then he made his own film with collaborators Tom Stern and Tim Burns called Freaked<\/em> in 1993. Then he kind of just.. disappeared.<\/p>\n

Why did Alex Winter leave Hollywood?<\/h2>\n
