‘Full House’ Cast: Where Are They Now?
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go, there’s a beloved sitcom to hold onto. Catch up with the stars of Full House since its 1995 finale
Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner
Sweetin has worked in a number of independent films since Full House, including Port City (2009) and Redefining Love (2009). Famously, she battled drug addiction throughout the decade after the show’s conclusion, a struggle she chronicled in her 2010 memoir, unSweetined.
Candace Cameron Bure as D.J. Tanner
Since going back to work, her most memorable pop culture moments have been in the show Make It or Break It, her gig as a co-host on The View and her third-place finish on Dancing with the Stars. And she made Full House fans the happiest in 2016 when she, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber rebooted their series with the Netflix show Fuller House, following their characters into adulthood (and featuring cameos from most of the OGs).
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen as Michelle Tanner
For these two, Full House was just the beginning. The twin sisters went on to release a number of successful straight-to-video movies (Passport to Paris, anyone?), star in two more TV shows and launch their own company, Dualstar, which they took over as joint CEOs in 2004. Gradually, they both exited the acting world — Ashley hasn’t had a real role in more than a decade, while Mary-Kate held on a little longer with stints in shows like Weeds. Now, they head up two fashion brands, The Row, a couture line, and the ready-to-wear label Elizabeth and James.
In 2015, Mary-Kate quietly married French banker Olivier Sarkozy, and opened up about their seemingly normal life in a 2017 interview with The Edit, while talking about balancing family and career. “We’re lucky [working hard] comes quite naturally for us. We don’t need so much time to sit and think and ponder,” she said. Mary-Kate filed for divorce from her husband in 2020, and has since focused on her equestrian work.
Bob Saget as Danny Tanner
The Tanner family patriarch kept busy after the Full House finale, appearing on shows like Raising Dad, Entourage and Grandfathered. And as How I Met Your Mother fans know, the actor voiced the “older” Ted Mosby throughout the show’s nine-season run. He also penned several books, including 2014’s Dirty Daddy: The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian (Danny Tanner would not approve), and consistently did stand-up, with his last special premiering on Netflix in 2022.
John Stamos as Jesse Katsopolis
Stamos hasn’t stopped since Full House, nabbing a number of films and TV shows, most notably in ER, on which he starred for four years. He had featured spots in Glee, Scream Queens, Grandfathered and You, and starred on Big Shot from 2021 to 2022. The actor also authored his first memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, which will be released in October 2023.
Dave Coulier as Joey Gladstone
Throughout the past two decades, Coulier has stayed active in the industry, appearing in a number of TV shows and films. Known for his voices and impressions (Mr. Woodchuck!), he’s done lots of voice work, too. But he’s definitely remained loyal to his first love, comedy, and continues to tour as a stand-up comedian.
