If you're an actor, getting cast in the main part is the ultimate validation that you've "made it" in the field that you've chosen to work in. The majority of performers spend years honing their craft in little parts and supporting roles, but a select few are blessed with good fortune and are given the lead role in their very first film or television program role.

Just take a look at these nine actors—in their very first roles in movies or on television, they were given leading roles. And if you were to compare where some of them started to where they are today, you'd be shocked at the difference.
