You'll Never Believe How These Legendary Actors Got Discovered

 Sarah Michelle Gellar

Don't you wish that a talent agent would pick you out of a crowd and decide that they wanted you to be rich and famous? Well, that's what happened to Sarah Michelle Gellar. She was contacted by a talent scout when she was just four years old while she was eating out at a restaurant with her parents. 

Small Screen, Big Screen, It's All the Same

Just one week after the talent scout talked to Gellar's parents, she got her first acting gig. She had several small TV roles until she got cast as the star in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This led to her becoming a horror movie staple in the 1990s.
