Bryan Cranston went from TV dad Hal to Breaking Bad mastermind Walter White — winning a bunch of Emmys on the way. Oh, and he’s also nabbed some Tony Awards and even got an Oscar nod. Fun fact? As a kid, he actually crossed paths with Charles Manson. Yeah, wild!
Rachel Weisz, 56 – The Queen of Cool Indie Films
Rachel Weisz made a big splash in The Mummy, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. She’s an award-winning actress who can nail indie flicks and blockbusters alike. Little secret: she turned down a chance to act with Richard Gere when she was just a teen. Bold move!

Peter Sarsgaard, 55 – The Actor You Didn’t Know You Needed

Matthew Vaughn, 55 – The Director Who Makes Spy Stuff Awesome
