It’s pretty impressive what one can achieve if they believe in themselves enough. These select few prove that it is possible to become an accomplished actor with or without schooling.
10. Heath Ledger
Heath Ledger made the bold decision to pursue a career in acting right out of school at age 17. He along with his long time best friend Trevor DiCarlo drove across Australia in search for any acting work. Ledger’s first gig was a small role in the Australian television series Clowning Around. From there, Heath landed a handful of small parts on different sitcoms. His feature film debut was in the 1997 Australian film Blackrock, and just two years later he starred in the teen comedy 10 Things I Hate About You; after that, it was smooth sailing for the young Australian.
Ledger started popping up in everything, becoming a familiar face for more than just his fans down under. As we all know Heath passed away far too early, shortly after his portrayal as the Joker in The Dark Knight, which is hands down his best performance, earning him a posthumous Academy Award. The fact that he was able to pull off such a captivating performance with no prior training proves that some people just have what it takes.
