Whatever Happened To The Cast Of Stuart Little?

Based on the classic novel by E.B. White, 1999's "Stuart Little" was brought to life by director Rob Minkoff and co-writers Greg Brooker and M. Night Shyamalan (you read that right) and a wonderfully talented cast and crew. The film was a major hit, grossing over $300 million worldwide, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects, and spawning two sequels and a television series.

This '90s staple is the heartwarming story of a mouse adopted by the incredibly charming Little family. The film is full of hilarious fun, madcap antics and dangerous cats, as well as a toy car that every child wished they were small enough to drive.

Populating this fantastical world is a truly amazing cast full of familiar faces you are sure to have seen somewhere before or since — and an equally stellar voice cast for the animals. Here's what happened to the absolutely star-studded cast of "Stuart Little."

Eleanor Little and her husband, Frederick (Hugh Laurie), decide to adopt a brother for their son George. The delightful couple is initially overwhelmed at the orphanage, but when they meet the little mouse named Stuart, they are instantly smitten by his charming personality and their decision is soon made.

Stuart Little's new mother is played by the accomplished actress Geena Davis. Starting her career with small roles in 1982's "Tootsie" and 1985's "Fletch," Davis quickly rose to prominence with featured performances in 1986's "The Fly" and 1988's "Beetlejuice." She went on to win an Oscar for portraying Muriel Pritchett in 1988's "The Accidental Tourist" and was nominated for another Oscar for playing Thelma in 1991's "Thelma & Louise." More popular films followed including "A League of Their Own," "The Long Kiss Goodnight," "Marjorie Prime," and the 2020 Jessica Chastain action film "Ava."

On television, Davis played the first female president, Mackenzie Allen, in 2005's "Commander in Chief," Dr. Nicole Herman in "Grey's Anatomy," and former showgirl Sandy Devereaux St. Clair in the 2019 Netflix original "GLOW." Also in 2019, Davis voiced Huntara in the popular Netflix family show "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power," which falls in line with the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media she began in 2007 to increase female characters in children's shows and which later won her an honorary humanitarian Oscar in 2019.

Initially, George Little is excited to get a new brother, but he is disappointed when he finally meets the minuscule Stuart. But Stuart does everything he can to ingratiate himself. After he helps George win a boat race, George finally begins to let Stuart into his life, and pretty soon the two are inseparable.

Jonathan Lipnicki made his feature film debut in the 1996 Tom Cruise film "Jerry Maguire." He quickly followed that up by playing the brother of fellow child actor Haley Joel Osment in the 1996 NBC sitcom "The Jeff Foxworthy Show," as well as landing a lead role in the alien sitcom "Meego" in 1998.

After appearing in "Stuart Little," Lipnicki starred in 2000's "The Little Vampire" and 2002's "Like Mike." Afterward he mostly appeared in smaller independent films, including the horror film "Broil" and the comedy "Pooling to Paradise." He has also recently appeared on numerous reality shows like TBS's "Drop the Mic," E4's "Celebs Go Dating," and Food Network's "Worst Cooks in America."

Snowbell is taken by his fellow cat friend Monty (Steve Zahn) to meet up with a shady alley cat named Smokey, who agrees to enact a plan to get Stuart out of the Little house once and for all. When Smokey's initial plan begins to fall apart, he decides to provide a more fatal outcome for the little mouse.

Widely known for portraying mobsters, Chazz Palminteri began his career in 1989 writing and starring in an off-Broadway one-man show called "A Bronx Tale." In 1993, he adapted the play into the directorial debut of Robert DeNiro with both DeNiro and Palminteri playing major roles. The following year, Palminteri was nominated for an Oscar for his role in Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway." He went on to land parts in films like "The Usual Suspects," "Analyze This," and "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints."

More recently, Palminteri can be seen in the 2015 Tom Hardy film "Legend," the 2019 film "Vault," and the 2020 crime comedy "Clover." Palminteri has also landed recurring roles on the hit sitcom "Modern Family" and the crime dramas "Rizzoli & Isles," "Godfather of Harlem," and "Gravesend."

When the alley cat kingpin Smokey realizes his diabolical plan is in danger, he rounds up Monty and another cat named Red to help him permanently fix his problems by killing Stuart Little.

Voicing Red is comedian and "In Living Color" cast member David Alan Grier. His comedic talents can be seen on display in countless films like the Eddie Murphy comedy "Boomerang," the superhero parody "Blankman," the Robin Williams classic "Jumanji," and more recently in films like "Tyler Perry Presents Peeples," "The Big Sick," and "Clifford the Big Red Dog."

On television, Grier could regularly be seen in the Martin Lawrence sitcom "Martin," his own sitcom "DAG," with Bonnie Hunt in 2002's "Life with Bonnie," as a puppet on "Crank Yankers," and most recently in "A Series of Unfortunate Events," "The Cool Kids," "Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!," and "Joe Pickett." Grier also hosted the game shows "Random Acts of Comedy" and "Snap Decision" and was a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars."

When Stuart Little is adopted, a party is thrown to introduce him to the extended Little family. These aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents are composed of a cavalcade of familiar faces, including television actress Connie Ray, "The Golden Girls" legend Estelle Getty, "Rhoda" star Harold Gould, and "Saved By the Bell" math teacher Patrick Thomas O'Brien.

Aunt Beatrice Little is played by the distinctively voiced actress Allyce Beasley. While she might be best known as the Blue Moon Detective Agency receptionist in the hit ABC series "Moonlighting," you might also know her as Miss Alordayne Grotke, the fourth-grade teacher in Disney's animated series "Recess."

Beasley can also be seen in the Stephen King miniseries "The Tommyknockers," the Samuel L. Jackson spoof movie "Loaded Weapon 1," and the Reese Witherspoon classic "Legally Blonde." On television, she's landed recurring roles on the soap opera "As the World Turns," the HBO comedy "Bored to Death," and the Netflix original "Maniac."

Also at the Little family get-together is Uncle Crenshaw Little, brother of Stuart's father Frederick. While perhaps the biggest star to portray one of the Little family members, Jeffrey Jones illustrious career took a steep nosedive a few years after appearing in "Stuart Little."

In 1984, Jones was nominated for a Golden Globe for his portrayal of the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II in "Amadeus." He followed that up with the iconic roles of Dean Ed Rooney in 1986's "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and Charles Deetz in the 1988 Tim Burton classic "Beetlejuice." He worked with Burton again in 1994's "Ed Wood" and 1999's "Sleepy Hollow" as well as appearing in films like "Howard the Duck," "The Hunt for Red October," and "The Devil's Advocate." His last major role was as A.W. Merrick in the HBO Western "Deadwood."

In 2002, Jeffrey Jones pleaded no contest to charges of soliciting a minor for illicit photographs, resulting in Jones having to register as a sex offender. He was arrested two further times for failing to update his sex offender status. Jones reprised his role of A.W. Merrick in 2019's "Deadwood: The Movie" with many less than thrilled about his resurgence.

When Stuart Little accidentally winds up falling down the laundry chute, he nearly drowns in the washing machine before Eleanor notices him and saves him. Dr. Beechwood pays the Little family a home visit and checks in on little Stuart. Although he's initially worried about the amount of detergent Stuart might have swallowed, he ultimately gives the mouse a very clean bill of health.

The Emmy and Golden Globe winner has been acting since 1961 in films like "The Towering Inferno" and television series like "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," but his breakout role didn't come until he played the despicably sexist boss Franklin M. Hart, Jr. in the 1980 hit "9 to 5." Coleman went on to appear in classic films like "Tootsie," "WarGames," "The Muppets Take Manhattan," "Cloak & Dagger," "The Beverly Hillbillies," and "You've Got Mail."

On television, Coleman starred alongside his "Stuart Little" co-star Geena Davis in "Buffalo Bill," voiced Principal Peter Prickly in Disney's "Recess," played lawyer Burton Fallin in "The Guardian," and featured as Commodore Louis Kaestner in the first two seasons of "Boardwalk Empire." Most recently, he played Kevin Costner's father in a 2019 episode of "Yellowstone."
