With the help of Ryan Reynolds, beloved 80s actor Rick Moranis has returned after stepping away from the entertainment business almost 25 years ago.
In a commercial for Mint Mobile, Reynolds is joined on-screen by Moranis, who Reynolds adoringly calls him the actor "we've all gone too long without."

Reynolds, who purchased an ownership stake in mobile wireless provider last year, told a fan that he "wept" when Moranis agreed to do the commercial.
Honestly, when he said yes, I wept.

According to People, Moranis stepped away from acting to focus on raising his two children after his wife died of cancer in 1991.
Now that Moranis is out of retirement, Moranis plans to turn in Disney's reboot of "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," also starring Josh Gad, who will play Moranis' son, People reported.
