Mara Wilson slowly ventured back into acting in the 2010s, although she doesn't want to return to it full time. As she told Parade, "I do act sometimes in friends' projects but, when I do, it's just for fun. It is actually a hobby for me now." Wilson also explained that while she does "still love stage acting," she also finds that "the day-to-day process of being an actor is so exhausting and so taxing."

Since 2011, Wilson has taken on a handful of film and television roles, but they're a far cry from the substantive roles she had as a child. Her credits as an adult include portraying herself on The Nostalgia Chick and Our Popcorn Movie Dystopia — Some More News: The Movie, as well as a cameo on Broad City, which she told Brokelyn she wanted to do out of "respect" for Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, the show's stars and co-creators.

For the most part, though, Wilson says she has "no interest in pursuing an actual acting career. She does, however, do a fair amount of voice acting, notably voicing roles on BoJack Horseman and Big Hero 6: The Series, saying "that's really fun for me."
