Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee had already been acting for the big screen when he was a kid. However, his fights with local gangs made him study martial arts. He eventually moved to the United States and developed a unique style of fighting called Jeet Kun Do. He was eventually discovered by a TV producer who told him to try out for the role of Kato in a TV show called The Green Hornet. He died at the young age of 32, but he was already a huge film legend by that time!
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Apparently, this bodybuilding legend always wanted to be famous. In 1982, the bodybuilder and bit-part actor finally landed his big break when he was cast in Conan the Barbarian. However, what made him a household name was playing the titular character in The Terminator! He was one of the most popular stars during the ‘80s. It is interesting to hear that he was the Governor of California for a brief period, although his political career has since ended. However, his acting career is still alive and kicking.
