Frank Silva: a prop master who worked for several David Lynch projects, while filming Twin Peaks Lynch caught an accidental glimpse of him in the camera, and impressed by that Lynch made him into BOB. Apparently Silva never did any other roles on TV or in movies, and he died of AIDS in 1995.
Danny Lloyd: was chosen as the child star of Kubrick's The Shining among 5000 applicants. He did one more role in a TV movie after The Shining, but apparently he wasn't interested in an acting career, and hasn't been heard of since.
Other examples?

I put (non-professional) into brackets because usually the people who appear in one memorable role and then disappear are non-professionals, but it's okay to name professionals too if they fit the description.

Carrie Henn, who played Newt in Aliens, never acted again. I think she's a school teacher now.
I'm pretty sure the guy who played the Cowboy in Mulholland Drive hasn't acted in anything else either; he's a producer by profession.
