Everyone has to start somewhere, and even the brightest stars of screen and stage were once rookies making their first steps in the world of showbiz. Some appeared in commercials, others got small, often silent parts in TV shows, and some worked as extras before a savvy casting producer decided to give them a chance. In the shark tank known as Hollywood, you have to make the most of any chance you get, because there might not be a second one.
Watching an old film and seeing a very familiar face appear for a brief moment is something that happens more commonly than one would expect, because even A-listers had to go through it to get to where they are now. Everyone has to start somewhere!
