Danielle Brooks is basically the definition of star power. You probably know her as Taystee from Orange Is the New Black — that role made her a legend. She’s also rocked Broadway and even helped start "Black Women on Broadway". Bonus: she started acting when she was just six, so yeah, she’s been a little boss for a long time.

Kyle Chandler brings all the serious feels as Coach Eric Taylor in Friday Night Lights — basically the best TV coach ever.

If you like your laughs with a side of unpredictable, Bobby Lee’s your guy. He was a staple on MADtv for eight years and now crushes it in the podcast world with TigerBelly and Bad Friends. Funny fact: he was once a breakdancer in high school, so those moves probably keep him agile on stage.

Anastacia isn’t your average pop singer – her sound is a wild mix of soul and rock called 'sprock'. Remember 'I’m Outta Love'? That song was everywhere and got her serious worldwide love. Fun tidbit: before belting out hits, she danced and starred in music videos for Salt-N-Pepa. Talk about a glow up!

Mena Massoud made us all believe in magic playing Aladdin in Disney’s live-action movie. But he’s not just a pretty face—he’s also a plant-based lifestyle champ with his Evolving Vegan thing going on. By the way, he almost went full science geek studying neuroscience before choosing Hollywood. Nice switch-up, right?

Slayyyter is the pop princess with a Y2K twist. Her album Worst Girl in America hit number one on dance charts like it was no big deal. Before fame, she was chilling as a hair salon receptionist—talk about a glow-up! Her music is catchy and unapologetic, just how we like it.

Paul Feig is the genius behind laughs in Bridesmaids and the cult-fave Freaks and Geeks. His secret? Blending hilarious with heart. Before Hollywood fame, he was a tour guide at Universal Studios. Imagine getting a star tour from the guy who’d make you laugh on screen later!

Sam Esmail shook up TV with Mr. Robot — you know, that show that made hacking look both cool and creepy? He’s also got some serious storytelling skills in Homecoming and Netflix’s Leave the World Behind. Fun fact: he once got into trouble hacking emails in school but bounced back to create his own tech company. Talk about a plot twist!

Cassandra Peterson is forever Elvira, Mistress of the Dark — spooky, sassy, and totally unforgettable. She’s made Halloween way cooler with her witty horror hosting. Before Elvira, she fronted an Italian rock band and even had a role in a Fellini film. Who knew spooky came with so much talent?

If you’ve ever yelled 'It’s-a me, Mario!' you’ve heard Charles Martinet. He’s been the voice of Mario, Luigi, and more for over 30 years.
