Why such a sucessful career?
What tricks did he use?
It's easier to understand Tom Hanks: Handsome, tall, relatable appeal and prepared to portray any sort of character.
Back to the Future was a starmaker. Considering that, his career maybe underperformed.
shareAnd getting that role was such a break.
shareJennifer Aniston was nobody before "Friends", you should see her in Leprechaun and Julie Brown (Wilson Phillips): Lucky Day Music Video, totally unremarkable, a run of the mill pretty girl.
I think the right role makes stars.
And that was a result of being on the successful Family Ties. An excellent job of matching role (Alex) to actor.
shareYeah, I think if Justine Bateman did not lose her looks, she would have been big too.
shareFox intentionally or otherwise was the center of the show on Family Ties. Not the case with Bateman. Bateman also was rumored to have substance abuse problems which did not help her. She had her looks into the 1990's but I will admit her looks seriously declined from the mid-1990's into today. Anyways, all the other FT actors success paled in comparison to Fox. Michael Gross who played the father tried roles against type but found he was readily typecast as Steven Keaton.
