What's Happening?
Actor Matthew Lillard attributes his recent career resurgence to a wave of nostalgia in Hollywood. Known for his roles in the '90s and early 2000s, particularly in the Scooby-Doo films and the Scream franchise, Lillard has seen a renewed interest in his work.
He credits this to a cultural longing for the past, which has led to new roles in projects like the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise and Scream 7.
