Hollywood A-Listers Who Got Their Big Break in Horror Films

Bradley Cooper

This is one film that Bradley Cooper likely leaves off his resume—My Little Eye (2002). Inspired by the reality show Big Brother, Cooper plays Travis Patterson, one of the masterminds manipulating a group of adults spending six months locked inside of a mansion. Bradley's feature film debut had been one year prior in Wet Hot American Summer (2001), but the actor didn't achieve critical levels of success until 2009 in The Hangover.

Elliot Page

One of Elliot Page's first roles was in Ghost Cat (2003) for which he won the Gemini Award for Best Performance in a Children's or Youth Program or Series. The Animal Planet made-for-television film revolved around the spirit of a cat who was haunting Page's house. The film is rated PG for "mild thematic elements and some peril."
