(Crankers) The “Home Alone” movie came out in 1990 and Daniel Stern became an Internet legend along with Macaulay Culkin and Joe Pesci. Stern also starred in “Home Alone 2,” released in 1992, and his legendary comedic moment was when his character Marv was electrocuted into a skeleton. Stern’s hairline became an icon too – one of the very few hairlines you can see and immediately know who it is, sorta like LeBron James
I remember watching it like it was yesterday and my buddy Bryan and I had to rewind the VHS about 20 times just so we could keep watching that scene – and we did this when we were much older. We just couldn’t stop laughing at it. It was iconic and lives in my mind to this day as one of the funniest and silliest scenes I’ve ever seen. Poor Marv, covered in white paint, being electrocuted when he just wants to wash his hands!
Where is Daniel Stern now? Well, the actor best known for his role as Marv in the “Home Alone” movies, has embraced a quieter life away from Hollywood. At 67, he now lives on a remote ranch in California’s Central Valley. Stern spends his days growing tangerines, raising cattle, and creating sculptures.
