11. Amy Adams
'I thought, if I can’t figure this out, I can’t work any more'
The perils of being a glamorous actress in Hollywood soon caught up with Amy Adams and she poured her heart out in interviews regarding sexism and papparazi culture. Not to mention her first role was sexist enough as she tried to woo the judges of a beauty pageant in the movie ‘Drop Dead Gorgeous’. Maintaining an impeccable track record with critic worthy roles and six time nominations for the Academy awards she remains to be the most underrated actress.
After a long hiatus and some self introspection she is back to chill the audiences with her jaw dropping act in ‘The Woman in the Window’.

Little April in Sunday School
Little April was not the best student in Sunday school.
Usually she slept through the class.
One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, "Tell me, April, who created the universe?"
When April didn't stir, little Johnny, a boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear.
"GOD ALMIGHTY!" shouted April and the teacher said, "Very good" and April fell back asleep.
A while later the teacher asked April, "Who is our Lord and Saviour," But, April didn't even stir from her slumber.
Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again.
"JESUS CHRIST!" shouted April and the teacher said, "very good," and April fell back to sleep.
Then the teacher asked April a third question.
"What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?"
And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin.
This time April jumped up and shouted, "IF YOU STICK THAT F*****G THING IN ME ONE MORE TIME, I'LL BREAK IT IN HALF AND STICK IT UP YOUR ARSE!"
The Teacher fainted.
12. Elijah Wood
He has already been part of the iconic series whether it is ‘Back to the Future’ or the sword welding dwarf epic ‘The Hobbit’. But this cherub faced genius had a rather common start as a video game playing boy in the future inspired flick. His rather insignificant role will still be remembered till ages to come since the sci-fi fiction gained steadfast fans around the world.
The little boy blue went on to save the universe in a heroic battle drama between the seen and the unseen worlds. ‘The Hobbit’ spanned a decade and ruled the roost at the box office, making him an instant global face.
13. Jack Nicholson
I've been too many places. I'm like the bad penny. True to his words, Jack Nicholson has seen more failures than success in his career. His insignificant parts in series and movies remained largely unnoticed until he won the Academy award for ‘ As Good as it Gets’. A miniscule screen time in the ‘Andy Griffith Show’ was neither his first nor last.
His sheer hard work paid off with ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’, it earned him another Academy award, catapulting him into fame and recognition.
14. Laurence Fishburne
We all get a bit embarrassed when Tele Tubbies plays on the channel, it is a show which kids love to watch on repeat. Sadly the origins of this illustrious actor was from a rainbow throwing and cute camper childrens programme. Who knew decades later he would be an action sensation with ‘The Matrix’, now it is learned that he is going to scorch the screens in an action thriller ‘The Blacksmith’.
His humble beginning from ‘Pee-Wee’s Playhouse’ became the solid foundation for a unbeaten stint in Hollywood.
15. Ben Affleck
I’ve finally learnt how to say, ’No comment’.
And that is exactly what the credits did to his role in ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’. Mind you before the diamond studded vampire in ‘Twilight’, this show was the only source of teen comfort for the 90s kid. But we cannot see a whimpy Ben Affleck flee off the basketball court, this is the same actor who later glorified the role of Batman in ‘Batman Vs Superman’. Guess we all learn from our mistakes and Ben certainly didn’t chose weak roles in the future.
After critically acclaimed ‘Good Will Hunting’ and psychological drama ‘Gone Girl’ the actor has played every part to the perfection.
16. Angelina Jolie
The whole world worships this actress who possesses Greek goddess looks. She learnt it young from her actor parent, being the child of Hollywood legend John Voight certainly had its perks. You can say nepotism made Angelina Jolie a child artist at mere six years of age, he father chose her over many other kids for a role in ‘Lookin to Get Out’.
Decades later she went on to win the Academy award for ‘Girl, Interrupted’. One cannot forget her daredevilry roles in ‘Tomb Raider’, she remains to be the most coveted actress of our times.
17. Johnny Depp
No one can forget the scary iconic scene from ‘Nightmare on the Elm Street’ where a young Johnny gets sucked into his water bed by Freddy and his blood splatter all over the bedroom ceiling. You probably love slasher flicks and Halloween scream movies as a teen, this cult classic has given plenty of sleepless nights to millions of teens across the world. The boyish charm of Depp cannot be ignored, even when the script turns grim.
He has been entertaining with versatile roles ever since and his representation of ‘Captain Jack Sparrow’ in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ goes down history.
18. Aaron Paul
Who knew the awkwardly betting teen in a game show would in the future play a mind numbing role in ‘Breaking Bad’? Aaron Paul probably never guessed that his small stint in the game series ‘The Price is Right’ will make him a household name. Barely of 21 years his face plastered all over the screen when he gets disappointed for losing big in the game.
Later he would ace the character Jesse Pinkman and win several accolades including the Critics Choice Television Awards.
