Many people are surprised when it’s pointed out that forty-four year-old Jason Bateman has been acting for over thirty years — he began his career in 1981 on Little House on the Prairie. Most of that surprise is because Bateman’s current high profile is the latest “up” in his lengthy up and down career.
Besides Hayden Panettiere and Zachary Quinto, perhaps the biggest breakout star of NBC’s fondly-remembered superhero series Heroes was Japanese-American actor Masi Oka, who starred as Hiro Nakamura.

But it’s clear that after a short break in acting McConaughey is determined to make up for lost time in a series of jaw-dropping performances.
Jessica Brown Findlay, who played the late Lady Sibyl on PBS’ beloved series Downton Abbey, only has one big regret in her career. In her first film, 2011’s Albatross, the actress appeared topless, an act which she attributes to “naivety and not knowing that I could say no.”
Selena Gomez is no longer the innocent Disney star from The Wizards of Waverly Place. In her new film, Spring Breakers, Gomez is proving she’s grown up quite a bit.
Though it wouldn’t be inaccurate to say Lucky Guy is the Tom Hanks show — after all, Hanks, one of the most popular film actors of the last three decades, is making his Broadway debut in the Nora Ephron play — the Forrest Gump star isn’t doing a one-man show.
