Sunday night at the SAG Awards, actors got to reflect over what it means for them to be an actor, and when they first made the decision to do so, subsequently obtaining their SAG-AFTRA card.
The ceremony and host Kristen Bell aided that by taking a trip down memory lane, as the Veronica Mars alum sang a new version of her Frozen song "Do You Want To Build a Snowman?" but instead highlighted some of the A-Listers' in the room earlier roles.
Among them were Timtothée Chalamet on Law & Order (one of many in the room to have guest starred on it early in their career), Kieran Culkin on Home Alone, and Selena Gomez on Barney.
As many of these actors gear up for the Oscars next week, on Sunday, March 2 — Demi Moore, Ralph Fiennes, and Ariana Grande are others nominated — see below some of the best photos of the early days of these stars' successful careers.
