Clint Eastwood
Whenever someone mentions Clint Eastwood, you think about an old crotchety man who's holding a shotgun and yelling at some kids, probably. But, back in the day, Eastwood wasn't the same guy he is known as today, in fact, he was a lazy slacker who didn't think he was going to get anywhere in life. He took odd jobs after he graduated college with no prospects, which led to him going out for auditions, which eventually landed him his breakthrough role in the movie Rawhide.
