Today we hop in the way back machine and take you to the days of yore, before your favorite actors were in the public eye. So sit back and let the nostalgia wash over you.
Before becoming bigger than life Brad Pitt starred in the title role of Johnny Suede. In Johnny Suede his pompadour is bigger than life, which matches his character’s personality perfectly.
Tom Hardy, who starred in Inception and The Dark Knight Rises, got his start playing Pfc. John Janovec in the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers. Even if you haven’t heard of Tom Hardy, you will when he plays the title role in the upcoming Mad Max movie.
Before he played everyone’s favorite character Joffrey Baratheon, Jack Gleeson was briefly in the 2005 blockbuster Batman Begins. It takes quite the actor to provide such range in their acting, from a good guy in Batman Begins to the worst person on the face of Westeros in Game of Thrones.
Tom Hanks made his name playing some very comedic characters, this is a perfect example of his comedic talent. In 1980’s Bosom Buddies Tom Hanks plays a guy that just needs a place to live. the lengths some people go for a cheep roof over their head.
Johnny Depp wasn’t always sailing the high seas as Captain Jack Sparrow, in 1984 he played Glen Lantz in the slasher classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. This has to be one of the very few films that doesn’t feature him alongside Helena Bonham Carter.
Before Robert Downey Jr. made a name for himself he was the son of the famed director Robert Downey Sr.. He was five when he played “Puppy” in the 1970 film by his father,Pound. Just from this image you could see that he would go on to play Iron Man.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, or Jamie Lannister in the Game of Thrones HBO series. He got his start in Denmark and made his first appearance in American cinema in 2001 with Black Hawk Down. Since his appearance in Game of Thrones he’s blown up and has starred opposite Tom Cruise in Oblivion.
Keanu Reeves wasn’t always “The One”, in 1986 he starred alongside Crispin Glover in the dark River’s Edge. This flick had him playing a goofy teenager, a role that he mastered to the point of becoming typecast.
