He may have disappeared from the screen, but he's still in the biz.

After a pretty prolific decade and a half on screen, Horne (mostly) gave up acting to become a teacher at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York.

Geoffrey Horne took one for the team, in a way, forgoing screen fame in order to train future generations of stars, who have included Alec Baldwin, Adam Sandler, Bridget Fonda, John Leguizamo, and Kevin Corrigan.

Horne is making a sort of return to the screen this spring though. He's featured in a documentary that's currently doing the festival rounds, called "Lee Strasberg's Method," in which he discusses the technique and legacy of his school's founder. Horne himself studied under Strasberg in the '50s, in a class that included such luminaries as Marilyn Monroe and Jane Fonda.

It's his first time on screen in nearly 12 years, and just his second since 1984. In 1999, Horne came out of a 15-year retirement for a small role in the goofball comedy "Big Daddy," starring and written by his former pupil, Sandler.
