Richard Jenkins
Jenkins is now a two-time Oscar nominee, but the veteran actor once shared the screen as a newbie with Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon, Cher, and Jack Nicholson in The Witches of Eastwick (1987). Jenkins was roughly 40 years old when he was cast in his first sizeable role. "I drove to the set on the first day and they wouldn't let me in," he recalled. "I said, 'But you don't understand, I'm in the movie,' and the guy on the gate said, 'Yeah, sure, me too, buddy.'"
