10) Joe Pesci

Joe Pesci was an overnight sensation, particularly with Goodfellas and My Cousin Vinny, with his intense yet comedic acting chops. Pesci stepped back largely from acting after The Good Shepherd, although he returned from time to time, as he did in 2019 for The Irishman.
Joe's retirement was motivated by the desire for a low-key life outside of Hollywood. He received praise for his brief return but has since resumed retirement and continues to stay away from the big screen for the sake of his quieter life.
