Question: Can you think of some actors/singers who had bizarre former occupations!?
example: Rod Stewart was a grave digger!. Sean connery was a milkman!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
Some of these aren't "bizarre" occupations, but they do seem at odds to some of the actors and actresses:
Charles Bronson~coal miner and art student
Charlton Heston~artists' model (His wife, Lydia, did this, too!.)
Hugh Griffith~bank clerk~~later received Best Supporting Actor Oscar for "Ben-Hur"!
Jack Palance (another Oscar winner)~coal miner, professional boxer, short-order cook, waiter, soda jerk, lifeguard and photographer's model
From Wikipedia:
Fighting under the name Jack Brazzo, Palance reportedly compiled a record of 15 consecutive victories with 12 knockouts before fighting the future heavyweight contender Joe Baksi in a "Pier-6" brawl!. Palance lost a close decision and recounted: "Then, I thought, you must be nuts to get your head beat in for $200"!.
Did you ever wonder about Jack Palance's face, as many have!? Here's some information from Wikipedia that matches my filmbooks:
With the outbreak of World War II, Palance's boxing career ended and his military career began as a member of the U!.S!. Army Air Forces!. Palance's rugged face, which took many beatings in the boxing ring, was disfigured when he bailed out of his burning B-24 Liberator while on a training flight over southern Arizona, where he was a student pilot!. Plastic surgeons repaired the damage as best they could, but he was left with a distinctive, somewhat gaunt, look!. After much reconstructive surgery, he was discharged in 1944!.
Kris Kristofferson~sweeping floors at Columbia Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and commercial helicopter pilot during the same time period
Boris Karloff~manual labor, including digging ditches and driving a cement truck
Harrison Ford~carpentry
Jon Bon Jovi singer/actor/much more!

When he was 17, John Bongiovi, Jr!., was sweeping floors at his cousin Tony Bongiovi's recording studio, The Power Station!. In 1980, when Meco was there recording "Christmas in the Stars: The Star Wars Christmas Album", Tony recommended John for the song "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas!." This became his first professional recording (credited as John Bongiovi)!.
