The vast majority of famous actors started out as not-so-famous. Only a few were famous as kids and stayed that way into adulthood. But for the rest, they had to go through the same grind that all actors in Hollywood do: dozens and hundreds of auditions, and often just as many rejections.

Back in the day, casting director Mali Finn revealed some of the famous actors he auditioned in the past. You can see that Finn had a keen eye for who she thought was going to “make it.” Below you’ll see 12 pictures of famous celebrities well before they were famous.

Finn, who cast movies such as Titanic, The Matrix, and Green Mile, passed away in 2007 at the age of 69.
