From Brad Pitt to Margot Robbie, a list of 10 actors who had regular jobs before making it to Hollywood
1) Jim Carrey - Janitor
The 61-year-old renowned actor and comedian Jim Carrey is known to be a powerhouse of energy and comedy. He is best known for playing fan-favorite characters like Ace Ventura in the Ace Ventura movie series, Lloyd Christmas in Dumb and Dumber, Stanley Ipkiss/The Mask in The Mask, Truman Burbank in The Truman Show and Bruce Nolan/Bruce Almighty in Bruce Almighty.
He was also nominated for the prestigious British Academy Film Awards for his performance as Joel Barish in the critically acclaimed movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He also won two Best Actor Golden Globes for his outstanding performances in The Truman Show and Man on the Moon.
However, before becoming a famous actor, Carrey had a very normal life. He came from humble beginnings and even had to quit school in order to provide for his family. He used to work as a janitor for a few years. However, due to his immense talent, when he was 15 years of age, he made it as a stand-up comedian, which eventually led him to become an actor in Hollywood.
2) Whoopi Goldberg - Mortician
The 67-year-old legendary actor, author, and comedian, Whoopi Goldberg is truly one of the biggest Hollywood icons of all time. Goldberg is one of the 18 recipients of the EGOT, which entails the prestigious Emmy Award, Grammy Award, Oscar, and Tony Award.
She is best known for playing the role of Clara Mayfield in Clara's Heart, Oda Mae Brown in Ghost, Odessa Cotter in The Long Walk Home, Deloris Van Cartier / Sister Mary Clarence in the Sister Act movie series, Shenzi (voice) in The Lion King, Guinan in the Star Trek movie series, Yari in Yamasong: March of the Hollows, and Alma Carthan in Till.
However, prior to starring in feature films, Goldberg held a very unique job as a mortician. Being a Mortuary Beautician, she used to do makeup and hair for the deceased before their funerals took place. She was a licensed beautician, as she also attended beauty school ahead of working as a full-time mortician.
