What are some people who may have been musicians, comedians, and so on who went on to be prolific actors/actresses? One person who comes to mind if Robin Williams. He acted back in the day on TV, but his roles were mainly comedic in sense. But later on, he started to get into more serious roles, like Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, Insomnia, and so on. 

Who would you say is an actor or acress that came out of no where from doing something completely different before?

I agree with Robin Williams, but this topic feels kind of weird seeing as Williams started off as an actor didn't he? Well a comedic one. I was going to say Dane Cook, but I think he was an actor first and then a comedian and then became a famous actor. I can't stand his work though.

Method Man and Redman were rappers before they were actors.
