What about get real?? I remember it was about a family and some crazy dead girl at the end, I am not sure.

I feel like John Krazinski's firmly in "wait and see mode" right now with his Jack Ryan series on Amazon around the corner.

Jerry easily has 4 times the money as her. Not counting her family money.
Jerry clears 30+million from Seinfeld every year alone, not counting his side gigs.

They are counting her family money, of course.

If you include her family money she's richer than like 90% of Hollywood. And I don't even know that she has that much access to it.

and she's richer than Jerry lol.

i think for Jerry it's just that he knew he would never make something as big or beloved as Seinfeld so he never bothered trying. i'm sure he could've had other hit series.

She is not richer than Jerry Seinfeld. He's the richest actor in the world.

Julia Louis Dreyfuss' family is worth billions. They're old money. As in Rockerfeller old.

Okay, I'm old, because I have no idea what that show is or who any of these people are.

Pretty sure that's a cast photo from Degrassi, and the guy in the upper left is Drake.

I THINK that's Degrassi, because that looks like Drake in the top left corner.

It's not hers (yet) though.

I know this. If this is what the poster meant, it's the wrong way to convey it. I didn't realize it was already corrected by other posters - I'll see my way out.

How could you guys forget Michael K Williams from The Wire?

Went on to have a big role as Chalky White in 'Boardwalk Empire', Freddy in 'The Night Of', etc.

Not a TV show, but I also wanted to mention Laurence Fishburne with his minor part in Apocalypse Now. Pretty unknown he was even in the film. Though his career lends itself more to his biggest TV role early on in 'Cornbread, Earl and Me'.

Speaking of Mad Tv

Key looks weird as fuck in that picture

Powerful

Aaron Paul hit it big with Breaking Bad I believe, and I don't think Bryan Cranston would be enjoying his renaissance without it either.

Everyone on game of Thrones became a breakout star (if they weren't big already like Bean and Dance).

WUT

Hang Time was awesome.

Also, the star of this fucking shitshow of a series is now a B-list movie actress:

I hate watched it all. My advice is: Don't.

Donald Glover is taking over hollywood from the left and right. And Crazy Ken continues to eek out a good living with his act.

... Is he really?

 

[Slayven]

... Is he really?

Which one?

 

[LionPride]

... Is he really?

Yes to both

Goggins is in movies. He was secondary/tertiary lead in The Hateful Eight. And the idea that being in movies is "making it" while working in TV isn't "making it" isn't as true as it used to be.

So much this. Movie stars are less important than ever now. For film its all about the IP attached, not who you get to star. TV is where it's at for actors these days. Steady employment with some fantastic roles.

But there is so much TV on that no one can watch it all. So many of the "where are they now" people mentioned in this thread have continued to have very successful careers getting steady work on TV but people just don't realize it because they aren't watching those shows.

I really thought Adam Brody would break out after, but I guess he only really has one role to play.

Chris Pratt was on the show for a couple of episodes, and Olivia Wilde probably has the best career out of the semi-regulars on the show, barring Sandy Cohen.

Yeah Brody should've found the niche of quirky nerdy guy. Maybe he was a bit too old. Also I think a big turn was when that Justice league movie fell through and he was supposed to be the flash. Could've been a big break for him

Yep, cast pick from the first season of Degrassi.

What the HELL is that terrifying Chucky-ass creature on the right??

It's called a "white boy." Don't be afraid, that's just how they look at that age. Once puberty hits, they become either a Buscemi or a Hemsworth!

Spoiler

do i have to clarify that i'm kidding? probably.

 

[Wag]

John Krasinski wins.

Would love to see Hollywood stop being racist AF and give Steven Yeun what he deserves...a leading role.

Hollywood reporter does a series of roundtables with directors, actors, comedians, writers, etc every year around oscar time and its pretty fascinating stuff. Last years male comedy actors had Aziz Ansari, Keegan Michael-Key, Carmichael, and others and there was a discussion about typecasting and getting parts and Aziz made a point he has done in other interviews: if most (minority) actors wait around for a part that feels right, they will age right out of the industry. He had to go out and make his own show and make his own parts, and you could see Jerrod Carmichael (Carmichael Show), Keegan (Key & Peele), and Anthony Anderson all agree with him.

It sucks but hopefully Steven Yeun is working mad hard on his own ideas and patterning up with someone like David Yang (Aziz's partner) to make his own success. At least at this point he has the industry cred and background to get meetings with Netflix, Amazon, FX, etc whereas someone new to the industry is going to get a thousand no's for even a single maybe.

I thought JTT was going to be a star except he stopped growing at 13.

I've watched that show from start to finish 2 times last year and I'm already doing it now. It's hard when you show your girlfriend and show and she falls in love with it, to the point where you're watching up to the theme song.

Crazy to think Kirk went from being a character with no name to Guardians of the Galaxy.

Well, he's James Gunn's brother and was in his other movies(Super comes to mind)
