Hollywood is brimming with many talented faces, and if we search hard enough we just might find that many started off in television commercials. Before achieving epic stardom from their Hollywood roles, many A-listers began their career in the vast world of commercial advertising.

Some of the ads are so old that the stars are almost unrecognizable.
