Hollywood A-Listers Who Got Their Big Break in Horror Films

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

While technically Halloween H20: 20 Years Later wasn't his first role, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance earned him enough attention to jumpstart a lucrative acting career. Gordon-Levitt plays Jimmy Howell, Laurie Strode's teenage neighbor and an unfortunate victim of Michael Myers. It wasn't long before Gordon-Levitt was moving on to bigger roles in films like 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) and Mysterious Skin (2004).
