15+ Celebrities Who’ve Been in the Industry for More Than 50 Years
Statistics tell us that the average career span of an actor is 28.4 years. However, some of the biggest names in the industry continue acting, even after half a century since their first role. And we imagine that after having portrayed so many roles, these actors have become masters of the craft. Nevertheless, we wonder if they don’t unwillingly repeat traits of their previous roles in new films, given that they have many characters registered in their subconscious mind over the years.
Bright Side believes that after decades of following their art, these celebrities become more like a part of our family. Here are 16 stars who have been sharing their talent with the world for over 50 years.
1. Michael Douglas
