The world is full of some incredible actors, but we all have to start somewhere, right? Even some of the biggest names of today had to start from the bottom before they could reach the top, and these are the celebs who started off as an extra before they became household names.

Kristen Stewart

When you think of Kristen Stewart, you probably think of The Twilight Saga. Yes, this lady took the vampire world by storm with her pale features and her inability to smile, and soon became a huge name in Hollywood. However, it might surprise you to learn that Kristen hasn’t always been part-human, part-vampire. When she was just a child, she played the “Girl in Fountain Line” in The Thirteenth Year. You read that correctly, Kristen Stewart really did appear in a Disney Channel movie!

Donald Glover

Let’s be honest; Donald Glover is an icon. With more job titles on his resume than we can count, he prides himself on being an actor, a rapper, a comedian, and a whole lot more. He first rose to fame as a writer for the sitcom 30 Rock but that wasn’t his first rodeo on the show. During one episode in season one, Donald actually took on the role of an extra. He became a personal assistant in a fleeting scene that you’d miss if you blinked.
