Lin-Manuel Miranda

There’s no doubt about the fact that Lin-Manuel Miranda is a legend. As a star of stage and screen, Miranda is to thank for bringing The Heights, Hamilton, Moana, and Mary Poppins Returns into our lives – and for that, we will be forever grateful. However, there was a time when Miranda was just another struggling actor. In fact, he donned a bellhop uniform in season six of the popular show, The Sopranos. Who would have thought? We believed he was always at the top of his game.

Brad Pitt

It’s hard to imagine a time where Brad Pitt wasn’t one of the most famous actors in the world, but we’re going to have to. Before he took the world by storm, Pitt was just like many other struggling actors out there. He wanted to get his name heard and his face seen, and he would take on any role to do that. That’s how he became the “Partygoer/Preppy Guy at Fight” in the 1987 movie, Less Than Zero. Yes, he really did wear that striped tank top.
