Subject: Movie Stars who got their start on TV shows
Written By: whistledog on 11/05/12 at 5:45 pm
I had a debate the other day who is the most famous movie star whose claim to fame was a starring or co-starring role on a scripted TV series ...
The Top 5 that first came to mind ...
Clint Eastwood (Rawhide)
Tom Hanks (Bosom Buddies)
Denzel Washington (St. Elsewhere)
Bruce Willis (Moonlighting)
Pierce Brosnan (Remington Steele)
A few others ...
Leonardo DiCaprio (Growing Pains)
Michael J. Fox (Family Ties)
David Morse (St. Elsewhere)
Jennifer Lawrence (The Bill Engvall Show)
Alec Baldwin (The Doctors)
Kevin Spacey (Wiseguy)
Geena Davis (Buffalo Bill)
I think Clint Eastwood is the big winner, but is he really? It's hard to choose

Here Comes the Boom (starring Kevin James). I only know that because I saw the trailer on TV just moments ago LOL
He also played the principal in the first 'Scream' movie and the coach in 'The Waterboy'
Other than that, I wouldn't consider him a movie star. He is a TV star who appears in the occasional movie

You are probably right, calling Henry Winkler a "movie star" is pushing it, yeah. ;)
I liked him in "The Waterboy" and 'Scream", although he was just in a supporting role, or minor supporting role.

I'm pretty sure it says in (my country) the movie stars who started on tv shows in the 90s were better than those of the 2000s and 10s because they had at least 22 yrs to rise to stardom but the 90s actors were better than those of older generations because technology was better but the movies stars were better loved in the 80s because 80 fans are cooler than 90s fans.

Yeah, it is pretty. But it is not Arabic. It it from Hindi. Translation From "Curry Man":
I have movies on a TV show stars are starting to know lots of people are. Many of them out, you have the name of a portion of them. Certainly, India will have nothing.
I like movies and I like the TV show. I see them as I eat my curry. I love curry curry man. Yeah, that's me. I repeat, that's me.
