Are we talking late bloomer regarding break in stardom or talent? Because the two are different.
Is Octavia Spencer the GOAT late bloomer

He made a few foreign films prior to his Hollywood break but its always tricky with foreign actors to know if they had notoriety in their homeland cinema industry. Im a big Mads fan. He can somehow play any type of role despite looking and sounding like a comic book villain.

On the contrary, the latter is more tricky and dare I say even rare as to my recollection, there has never been an actor that went from being shyt to fantastic.Ah, thats trickier. Much more interesting thread now.
Vast majority of late bloomers are those who have always been great at acting but never really got their big break or capitalise on it
I guess I would also add Christoph Waltz to this list.
Though I'm not sure if it makes sense since he was kind of known in Europe. And I'm not sure how recognizable he is to the average American movie lover.

No youre right. I had it backwards. I was thinking you said latter thats why I said its more interesting. Make the thread about talent instead of break.
Lies folk knew about Sam Jackson since Juice
That’s when he took off lol
