In the early 1990s, a Paramount executive pitched a concept of a "Crocodile Dundee" and "Beverly Hills Cop" crossover movie. Hogan refused the starring role in the hit film "Ghost", choosing instead to make "Almost an Angel" (1990). In 1994, Hogan co-produced, wrote and starred in the Western comedy film "Lightning Jack". In 1996, he starred in a remake of the 1963 film "Flipper", a family-friendly movie about a dolphin. In 1998, he co-starred in the made-for-TV drama "Floating Away", an adaptation of the Tim Sandlin book "Sorrow Floats", and in which he played 'Shane', a recovering alcoholic.
