You’re Never Too Old! Celebrities Who Became Famous After 40
Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson has starred in over 100 movies and most of them have been after the actor hit the age of 40. Jackson had a few small parts in several movies, including Coming to America and Goodfellas, but it was his portrayal of a crack addict in Spike Lee’s 1991 film Jungle Fever that finally got him noticed. Since then Jackson, who was a former crack addict in real life, has gone on to star in both blockbuster hits as well as independent films, a great feat especially since he overcame a stuttering problem in his childhood.
