Michael Schoeffling – 60 – Business Owner

Through the years, the entertainment industry has introduced us to talented actors, many of which already have a career spanning decades at this point. That doesn’t mean that it also has a few stars that preferred a relatively brief stint in the business. One such figure that fits this case is Michael Schoeffling, who began his career as a model.

After a few modeling gigs, Michael took the opportunity to attend acting classes. Not long after, he found widespread fame and recognition for his acting credits in Sixteen Candles, Vision Quest, and Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken. With a career that lasted from 1984 to 1991, Michael eventually left the spotlight in exchange for more private life. He now owns a woodworking shop and has produced more than a few handcrafted pieces of furniture already. Despite his short run in the entertainment industry, it’s safe to say his fans still remember him for his portrayal of Sixteen Candles’ Jake Ryan.
