What if I told you Laurence Fishburne started acting at the tender age of seven? He appeared on the soap opera “One Life to Live.” Ten years later, he appeared in the famous film “Apocalypse Now,” in which he played a young soldier in the Vietnam war, but wasn’t even as old as his character!
He’s most well-known for his role of Morpheus in “The Matrix” and its sequels but has done plenty of other projects. For example, starring in the TV series “Black-ish,” and has been in a television miniseries about Nelson Mandela called “Madiba,” in which he is playing Nelson Mandela himself.
Eric Scott
Eric Scott is mostly known for his character of Ben Walton on the television show "The Waltons." He's been in three marriages, most recently to Cynthia Wolfen, with which he has two children. His second marriage, from which he has a daughter, ended after the death of his wife from cancer.
Scott has revived his famous character a number of times, for reunions or specials. On the other hand, Scott has mostly moved away from acting and now owns a parcel delivery service, Chase Messengers, in California.
Valerie Bertinelli
Bertinelli's TV debut, on "One Day at a Time," earned her a Golden Globe in 1981. She starred in "Sydney" and "Café Americain," neither of which earned much notice, before joining the short-lived-yet-memorable "Touched by an Angel." Bertinelli has gone on to appear as a popular spokeswoman for the weight loss products of Jenny Craig after she shared her struggles with body image and weight loss.
She's gone on to join television grand dame Betty White, as well as Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves on "Hot in Cleveland," from 2010 to 2015.
Laurence Fishburne's Drama With His Daughter
Fishburne's daughter Montana, at only eighteen years of age, back in 2010, decided to star in an adult film. Laurence recruited a number of friends and attempted to purchase every single copy of the tapes for the film, but they were unsuccessful.
Montana didn't stay in the adult movie industry for long, and when she left, she encouraged other young women to do the same, speaking about abusive practices within the industry. Montana was on the upswing, but she has since been arrested for driving under the influence.
Michael Bollner
Michael Bollner is originally from Germany, and when he acted as Augustus Gloop in "Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory," he barely spoke any English. Allegedly, some of the crew aided him in learning English in order for him to get his lines right.
He later appeared in a number of other German films but ultimately abandoned acting, which is what his father wanted in the first place, even since Wonka. He owns an accounting firm in his home country of Germany, though he does appear in reunions with his former cast members.
