John de Lancie: That Star Trek Guy You Love to Hate (in a Good Way)
If you've watched Star Trek, you know John as the sneaky Q. Plus, he voices a wild character on My Little Pony. Fun fact: he didn’t learn to read until he was twelve! Dyslexia tried to slow him down, but nope, he powered through.
Freema Agyeman: Doctor Who’s Smart and Stylish Sidekick
Freema switched up the spelling of her own name to dodge mispronunciations before she shined on Doctor Who as Martha Jones. She’s also rocked Netflix’s Sense8 and medical dramas. That’s a serious acting resume!

Chris helped bring the Ice Age gang to life and co-founded Blue Sky Studios. He even won an Oscar for a cute short film called Bunny. Before all that, he worked on the cult classic Tron in the '80s—so yes, he’s got serious animation cred.
Alex Kapranos: From Chef to Rock Star Frontman

Willie Brown: The Politician Who Went From Janitor to Mayor
Willie Brown worked as a janitor while hitting the books in law school. He didn’t stop there: he became the longest-serving Speaker in California’s Assembly and then the first African American mayor of San Francisco. That’s leveling up!
