Whatever Happened To Michael Schoeffling?
After "Sixteen Candles," Michael Schoeffling had serious heartthrob status among fans. His role in "Sixteen Candles" was his first credited role (via IMDb). He was 24 years old when it was filmed. He went on to appear in "Sylvester," "Vision Quest," "Let's Get Harry," "Belizaire the Cajun," "Longtime Companion," "Slaves of New York," "Mermaids," and "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken." His last acting job was in 1991.
Schoeffling then walked away from Hollywood completely. He told the Los Angeles Times in 1990, "Actors spend most of their time out of work, so I actually spend more time making furniture. The thing about furniture that's much better than acting is that it's just me. There's no director, no script – the concept is me unless a client wants something."
Schoeffling married model and actress Valerie Robinson in 1987, per Nine.com.au. The couple leads a quiet life in Pennsylvania, where the actor grew up, per Nine.com.au. Schoeffling has a woodworking shop, per the Hollywood Reporter. His daughter Scarlett is a model and actress living in New York City (via Instagram). Schoeffling and his wife also have a son named Zane.
