If you’re a fan of The Walking Dead or Black Panther, there’s a high chance that you’re also a huge fan of Danai Gurira. This legendary actress has taken on the roles of Michonne and Okoye respectively in the past few years, but she hasn’t always been a household name. Danai landed one of her first professional acting roles in 2010 when she played a “Woman in Blue Dress” in the independent movie 3 Backyards. Just a few years later she became a household name.

Sylvester Stallone

Didn’t Sylvester Stallone just instantly become famous the moment he was born? Well, not quite. Before he took the world by storm as Rocky Balboa, Sylvester was actually cast as an extra in one of Woody Allen’s movies. In fact, Sylvester used his strong look and his strong muscles to take on the role of a mugger in the film Bananas. Since then, he has become one of the most famous men in the world, and everyone knows his face, his voice, and his biceps.
