Was it...

Danny DeVito?
Marilu Henner?
Andy Kaufman?
Christopher Lloyd?
Judd Hirsch?
Jeff Conaway?
Tony Danza?

Definitely NOT Jeff Conaway.

So true, but, if the guy wasn't on drugs, he probably could've had a pretty good movie career.

What, no Randall Carver? How soon you guys forget :lol:

I forgot the guy's name...all I didn't want to type John Burns. :lol:

That would be a no-brainer if his name were on that list. :rofl:

Jeff, most definitely would have had a better career if drug addiction didn't take over his life. I know he didn't ask to have that back injury, but his doctors did him no favors by giving him so many painkillers to deal with that pain. ohno:

In the movies it would have to be Christopher Lloyd & Danny DeVito
On TV, Tony Danza followed by Rhea Perlman with Cheers

I really don't count Rhea, because Zena was not a regular character.

Not to mention her name is not on the list you provided.

Danny De Vito has done some producing and behind the scenes stuff, so this list can be really scrutinized. Marilu Henner has some infomercials under her belt. Doesn't she have her own show on some health network? I know she has some Lifetime movies. Andy is dead, but what works did he leave behind? Christopher Lloyd has movies under his belt too, especially the Back to the Future franchises. Ok, so is it abt continuously working, the amount of money they made or the amount of work they have done, you know like their resumes?

I'd say Danny DeVito. He's done a lot of directing, producing, and acting in films. And he has his own production company.

Definanly Danny Devito

Danny DeVito

Just comparing Judd's career and Danny's career, it appears Danny has more on his resume than Judd. I realize these are from IMDB so take the information with a grain of salt:

Danny:

Judd:

There really is no right or wrong answers. It is just opinions on who you feel really emerged after Taxi went off the air.

I'd have to go with Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito, but really all of them went on to become pretty big stars (which is rare--- that a whole cast of a TV show can find someplace else to hone their talents and make it big!).

^^^Very good point, with the exception of Randall Carver, all did have careers after the show was canceled.

Exactly! Judd Hirsch, Marilu Henner, Christopher Lloyd, Carol Kane and Tony Danza are still around and pop up in TV/film regularly. Danny DeVito has had almost as much success behind the camera as he has in front of it.

Poor Randall Carver :( :lol:

^ I know! Whatever happened to him, anyway?

Apparently, he's still acting! LOL

Glad to hear that - nice pic of him, by the way.

I got it from his own website. I don't think he's been in anything substantial since Taxi. I could be wrong though.

If he has, I haven't heard anything about it. :(

tony danza gets a lot of work

That is amazing that so many of the cast members went on to become very successful. If I had to pick just one, though, I'd pick Danny DeVito! I used to love watching him on Taxi when he would go into that booth and have to stand on that platform to make himself look taller!:rotflmao:
