Comments by "Morgan King" (@MorganKing95) on "Top 10 Actors Who Became Famous When They Were Old" video.

  1. +Daniel A. This is pointless? It shows how long it sometimes can take for an actor to really become famous and have his/her breakthrough, even if they've been in the game for several decades. It's a good message for any aspiring actor
    5
  2. +Wysteria InBloom He was 41 in that film, so he's close to being qualified
    3
  3. Sean Connery was only 32 when he first played James Bond, Ford was 35 in the first "Star Wars", and Clooney was 34 when he got his breakthrough in "ER"
    3
  4. +FreeSudani It's relatively old if you're an actor and have your breakthrough around that age; most leading characters are either in their 20's and 30's
    2
  5. Robert de Niro was 30 when he starred in "Mean Streets" and Jack Nicholson was 32 when he got Oscar-nominated for "Easy Rider"
    2
  6. +naa peru cnu Samuel L. Jackson is actually 4 years older than Liam Neeson
    2
  7. Are you kidding with me? "Easy Rider", "Chinatown", and "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" (first Oscar win) were all released when he was between 32 and 38, and you can't talk about Jack without mentioning those movies.

  8. Everything is relative. Is 40 old in general? No. Is it old for getting a breakthrough? Yes, when you take into account that a lot of Hollywood actors get their breakthrough in their 20's and 30's

  9. +Sam Kresil - Johnny Depp: already very young when he debuted in "A Nightmare on Elm Street", and was under 40 when he starred in "Edward Scissorhands" - Marlon Brando: please, he was the king of the 1950's cinema before he had even turned 30 - Sylvester Stallone: only 30 when he had his breakthrough in "Rocky" - Al Pacino: only 32 when he starred in "The Godfather" - Meryl Streep: only in her 30's when she had her first Oscar nods - Robin Williams: under 40 when he starred in "Good Morning Vietnam" and "Dead Poets Society"
    2
  10. +Sam Kresil Arnold was under 40 in "The Terminator"
    2
  11. He got famous for ER when he was in his early 30's
    2
  12. +Sarah Koob It's old for an actor's standard, just like having a rapper or athlete starting their careers at the age of 30
    2
  13. Gloria Stuart appeared in multiple movies between 1932 and 1945
    1
  14. It was distributed by the Walt Disney company in the U.S
    1
  15. The title is actually "chocolat"; it's because the story is set in France
    1
  16. He was 36 in that movie
    1
  17. +Anthony Cleary Not everyone: - Jack Nicholson was 32 in "Easy Rider" - Dustin Hoffman was 30 in "The Graduate" - Robert de Niro was 30 in "Mean Streets" - Al Pacino was 32 in "The Godfather", while Robert Duvall was 41 in the same film - James Stewart was 32 in "The Philadelphia Story" - Humphrey Bogart was 37 in "The Petrified Forest" - Clark Gable was 33 in "It Happened One Night" - Charlie Chaplin was 32 in "The Kid" - Daniel Day-Lewis was 32 in "My Left Foot" - Sir Ben Kingsley was 39 in "Gandhi" - Warren Beatty was 30 in "Bonnie and Clyde" I can go on, but I think you get the idea. Most actors actually have their big breakthrough when they're around 30 and above

  18. ***** Doesn't make a difference. You have a favorite director you look up to, other people have Tarantino as a favorite director they look up to. I can agree that he may not be among the "Greatest directors of all time", but having favorites is never something people should hate on another person for; there's a big difference between "best" and "favorite"
    1
  19. +alex kanyima You mean in the early 90's. "His early 90's" means that he was famous when he was over 90 years old
    1
  20. That's not true; she is one of Britain's most recognizable actresses, and appeared in several acclaimed movies in the late 1950's and throughout the 1960's. Plus, she appeared multiple times on stage throughout the 1950's
    1
  21. Marlon Brando was one of the biggest and most influential movie stars of the 1950's, and he was only in his late 20's and early 30's
    1
  22. Jordan Chang​ For many audiences today yes. However, for those who for example study acting or theatre history, have learned about Tennessee Williams, or are true fans of Marlon Brando, his roles in the 50's are definitely some of most iconic and acclaimed in his entire career. Heck, even Elvis Presley and James Dean based their images on him
    1
  23. ***** Plus that everybody suddenly started growing sideburns and wearing leather jackets because of his role in "The Wild One". He was also famous enough when he played Stanley Kowalski on Broadway before reprising the role in the film adaptation
    1
  24. +TheFashionbugs Like what? "Schindler's List" was the first movie where he got major award nominations like the BAFTA and Golden Globe (also an Academy Award nomination), and he was 41
    1
  25. *****​ That's at least his late 30's, and it wasn't until "Schindler's List" that he really got famous. In fact, Spielberg wouldn't have cast him if he was an already well-established star since he thought it would be distracting
    1
  26. Denzel washington was 35 in "Glory" and 38 in "Malcolm X"
    1
  27. Most sources I've read say that Christoph Waltz is an adherent of the Meisner technique, not Method Acting. Other than that, good list, and it really shows how long time it can take for an actor/actress to get his/her big breakthrough
    1
  28. Got famous in the 60's with "Zulu", "Alfie", and "The Italian Job"
    1
  29. Gero Z Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that the list had to be based on what a random guy on Youtube (who cannot even spell right) think
    1
  30. Gero Z Shame on me? You're the one who cannot spell right, and imply that just because you haven't heard about a movie, the actor cannot be considered famous for it
    1
  31. Most people know who Judi Dench is
    1
  32. He was 19 when he had his breakthrough with "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", he was 23 when he starred in "Titanic", and he was 28 when he starred in "Catch Me If You Can"
    1
  33. Stephen Marco Probably, but you never know nowadays
    1
  34. +KillerInstinct Alec Guinness was already well-established on stage in the 1930's, and became famous in movies in the late 40's and throughout the 50's
    1
  35. He was only in his 30's when he got famous for playing Mr. Darcy
    1
  36. He was very famous for film noirs in the 1940's when he was in his early 30's
    1
  37. SomeGuy Well, he never exactly became as famous as Bogie and Gable; he is mainly well-known by horror movie fans or those who are familiar with his "rap" in Michael Jackson's Thriller. It's not like that I can talk about him with an average moviegoer without having to explain who he is. Most sources I've read also say that "Laura" (1944) was his breakthrough
    1
  38. He was 35 when he won an Oscar for "The Deer Hunter"
    1
  39. Christian Bale, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Macaulay Culkin, Drew Barrymore, Natalie Portman, Mickey Rooney, and I guess actors like Edward Norton, John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, James Dean, Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, Richard Dreyfuss, and Adrien Brody if the limit is 30 and younger
    1
  40. He was 26 in "Gladiator" and 31 in "Walk the Line". He was far from being old
    1
  41. +Stassia W. Gary Oldman was in his late 20's and early 30's when he appeared in "Sid and Nancy" and "JFK"
    1
  42. He was a recurring actor in Ingmar Bergman's movies when he was young
    1
  43. You have take into account that a lot of Hollywood actors get their breakthrough in their 20's and 30's, so getting a breakthrough in one's 40's is quite old in comparison
    1
  44. +Zxcvbnm T He had his first Oscar nod at the age of 32 and win at the age of 38
    1
  45. 46 is quite old for getting a breakthrough. A lot of the major Hollywood actors were 20-30 when they got their breakthrough. Everything is relative
    1
  46. Would you consider an athlete or dancer in his/her 40's young? It's the same with acting; getting a breakthrough past the age of 40 would be considered old compared to what the average age is for a breakthrough
    1
  47. +alex alvarado He was in his mid-30's when Miami Vice made him a star
