Actors Who Turned Tiny TV Parts Into Breakout Roles
Description
We all have our favorite characters in television shows, many of whom we watch the show for and can’t imagine a world where they’re not in it. However, that doesn’t mean they were intended to be there for the long haul and there are many, many, many times where characters were meant to be nothing more than bit part players and were either just meant to be one time cameos, background characters or were meant to be killed off super early. However, because of the people that played them, they ended up becoming major players and are now some of the most notorious characters of all time.
In this video we are going to look at 15 celebrities who turned minor castings into major ones. This will include dopey background characters who were only cast for six episodes becoming major characters in the show (and then Hollywood superstars), characters who were written for people the producers met randomly, celebs who were on the verge of quitting acting once and for all only to get a one episode appearance (which then turned into a nine season one), stars who were cast as shallow characters with little depth turning into the hero, improvisational maestros using their comedic skills to stay on a series for the long term, and even celebs who were down and out getting Emmy nominations for their lucky guest appearance.
