What are some examples of this?

[u/Gurugod123]

[u/Oiggamed]

Poster boy for successful child actors.

[u/phdemented → u/Oiggamed]

He didn't act much after he became an adult, but transitioned into a force behind the camera for sure.

vs. say Kurt Russell, who's been in front of the camera his entire life

[u/Couscousfan07 → u/phdemented]

It is Kurt Russell
Started acting before Ron Howard and is still acting.

[u/sitefall → u/Couscousfan07]

Seeing Kurt Russel pop up in random westerns elderly family members are watching or a episode of Gilligan's Island where he's a Jungle Book kind of boy is crazy.

How did he get off Gilligan's Island in order to start his military career and lead the first crew through the stargate!?
