You probably know Daniel Stern's face, if not his name. The actor, known for his roles as 'Marv' in the 1990 holiday comedy 'Home Alone' (and it's 1992 sequel), as 'Phil' in 1991's 'City Slickers' (and it's 1994 sequel), and as the narrator on TV show 'The Wonder Years.'
One of the funniest things this writer has ever seen was the tarantula scene in 'Home Alone', where Kevin drops the hairy spider on Marv's face. Stern's scream (which he acted silently on set and recorded in post-production so as not to scare the spider) is hilarious.
But she digresses.
He's now joined celebrities like Sam Neill and Francis Ford Coppola in moving away from Hollywood and into farming, wineries, and art.
Here's Stern showing off his latest sculpture:

That's a reference to this scene in 'Home Alone 2', and it's funny.
And he's so talented!

RIGHT?
He was never a very good thief.

Glad he could turn his life around.
There's hope for us all.
It's really hard to nail realistic proportions like this in a sculpt! I like seeing artists doing difficult, skill-based projects. MARV from Home Alone! https://t.co/WTM8nS0r9w

It's amazing.
Responsible for single funniest moment in Home Alone in my opinion. https://t.co/SpQPkDbfre pic.twitter.com/xlVenBcDBr
