Neil Patrick Harris
Neil Patrick Harris rose to fame as the titular child prodigy doctor in Doogie Howser, M.D. after making a few minor film appearances as a child. Despite being somewhat typecast, he continued to work very consistently, appearing in both films and television. When he was cast as the womanizer Barney Stinson in the wildly successful TV series How I Met Your Mother, everything changed. He was able to break out of his comfort zone thanks to the character, making memorable cameos in Seth MacFarlane’s mockumentary A Million Ways to Die in the West and David Fincher’s contentious thriller Gone Girl.

Jodie Foster
Despite having been in several TV shows and Disney films in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Jodie Foster didn’t become a household name until she starred with Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese’s pioneering psychological crime thriller Taxi Driver in 1976. Foster’s career as a performer has continued for a long time since Taxi Driver’s commercial success. During this time, she has been nominated for two Academy Awards: one for her performance in the courtroom drama The Accused and another for her portrayal of Clarice in the psychological horror film The Silence of the Lambs.
