Not to mention the object of affection of many teen girls throughout the country. After Sixteen Candles, Schoeffling found work in a variety of projects, including the popular film, Vision Quest. It seemed as if he was headed to mega-stardom, but things never went in that direction. He was in several movies in a row that flopped, and even when he was cast in one that was a hit, like 1990’s Mermaids, his role went unnoticed. And so, he decided to call it quits.
