Michael Schoeffling came to international prominence at the age of 23 for his role as Jake Ryan, the popular yet sensitive high school athlete on whom Molly Ringwald’s character has a crush in the teen film Sixteen Candles. It was a role that, 20 years later, the Washington Post would go on to say that men still couldn’t match up to.

Interestingly enough, Schoeffling began looking for a way out of Hollywood. That would eventually present itself as his role as Ryan began to lead to fewer but typecast roles. By 1991, he decided to step away and take care of his family, taking up his own woodworking shop and started producing handcrafted furniture.
