There were two things that Uncle Jesse was obsessed with — his hair and Elvis Presley. Of course, his priorities changed when he married Becky and the couple welcomed twins during season five.

In real life, Stamos is also a father.

Following “Full House,” he went on to do plenty more TV roles. The actor appeared on shows like “ER,” “Glee,” “Necessary Roughness,” “Grandfathered,” and “Scream Queens.”

He also played a therapist named Dr. Nicky on the hit thriller series “You” and appeared in ABC’s “The Little Mermaid Live!” in 2019.

He’s also a producer and appeared on “Fuller House.”

More recently, he’s done voice work for animated shows like “Spidey and His Amazing Friends” and “Harley Quinn.”

Stamos welcomed his first child, a son named Billy, with Caitlin McHugh in April 2018. They tied the knot in February 2019.

In October 2023, Stamos released his memoir, “If You Would Have Told Me,” which chronicled his rise to fame, his time on “Full House,” and the sexual abuse he experienced as a child.

Candace Cameron Bure rose to fame for her role as D.J. Tanner.

“Fuller House” lasted for five seasons between 2016 and 2020.

Cameron Bure has been married to Valeri Buri for more than 20 years and they have three children, daughter Natasha and sons Lev and Maksim.

She was also a cohost on ABC’s “The View,” but left after two seasons because balancing her work life and personal life was proving to be difficult.

“I have traveled coast to coast every single week so I could be at home on the weekends with my family, and then back to work in New York [where “The View” films] during the week,” the actor told People.

Cameron Bure added: “I really grew and learned a lot from the show, but I’m happy to be able to spend more time in LA and do more of my full-time jobs there.”

In addition to her “Fuller House” role, Cameron Bure starred in several holiday movies for Hallmark, like “A Christmas Detour,” “Journey Back to Christmas,” and “The Christmas Contest.”

She also competed on season 18 of “Dancing With the Stars” and finished in third place with partner Mark Ballas.

The star has also released several books.

Stephanie Tanner was portrayed by Jodie Sweetin.

Stephanie was the most chatty Tanner, and sometimes provoked her family with her nosy personality. She was sometimes mischievous, and always showed an interest in dancing and singing.

Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen took turns playing the youngest Tanner.

The Olsen twins grew up in front of fans. Mary-Kate and Ashley even got to act with each other on a few episodes, like when they played cousins during season four.

Dave Coulier played comedian Joey Gladstone.

After Pam (Jesse’s sister) was killed during a car crash, Jesse and Joey moved in with Danny (their childhood friend) to help him raise D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle.

After “Full House,” Saget went on to become a Grammy-nominated comedian for his stand-up special “That’s What I’m Talkin’ About.”

His 2014 memoir, “Dirty Daddy: The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian,” became a best-seller.

The actor also starred on Broadway and toured across the country for comedy shows.

Additionally, you might recognize Saget as the narrator and voice of future Ted Mosby on “How I Met Your Mother.”

In November 2017, Saget revealed that he got engaged to TV host Kelly Rizzo after popping the question while the couple was watching “Stranger Things.”

They got married in October 2018 in Santa Monica, California. Some of Saget’s “Full House” costars were in attendance, too.

Saget died on January 9, 2022.

He was found in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida. A preliminary autopsy report released the day after his death said there was “no evidence of drug use or foul play.”

Saget’s family later released a statement to Entertainment Tonight about the actor’s cause of death.

“The authorities have determined that Bob passed from head trauma,” the statement read. “They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep. No drugs or alcohol were involved.”

Saget is survived by three children from his previous marriage to Sherri Kramer.

Lori Loughlin played Rebecca Katsopolis, better known as Aunt Becky.

In recent years, Loughlin has made headlines for her involvement in the college admissions scandal.

The actor and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were accused of paying the scheme’s ringleader $500,000 to guarantee their daughters’ admission into the University of Southern California.

In May 2020, Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty to their parts in the college admissions scandal.

In August of that year, the actor was sentenced to two months in prison after a US district judge approved her plea deal. Her husband was sentenced to five months in prison for his role in the scandal.

After being released in December 2020, Loughlin returned to acting the following year on the show “When Hope Calls.”

In 2023, she starred in the TV movie “Fall Into Winter.”

Barber got an English degree from Whittier College and interned at the United Nations in Switzerland. During an interview with People, the actor said that she wasn’t fond of the entertainment business and the “unpredictability of the profession,” which is why she took a break.

She only returned to acting when the opportunity came up to star on “Fuller House,” which she gladly accepted.

More recently, she appeared in the 2022 movie “Christmas on Candy Cane Lane.”
