ken Jeong physician you smoke cigarettes
do you smoke cigarettes I have on
occasion when was the last time you had
one stick you know what I need to know
or I will not be your doctor
given his notable appearances in hugely
popular comedic roles and his
spectacular over-the-top style you’d
think comedy was the obvious career path
for Ken Jong
but not only did John graduate from
medical school
he is also to this day a licensed
physician in the state of California
foundation I was born at Ochsner I can’t
believe you work at my husband yes yes
my dad delivered her maybe in his
downtime from his studies though he
tried his hand at stand-up comedy and
has since made a career out of that
hobby as evidenced by his screen
appearances in the hangover and
community
I am a Spanish genius in espanol my
nickname is El Tigre Chino the lesson
here it’s never too late to chang your
career path saddam gayboys number 9
Danny DeVito hairdresser okay fine I’ve
always wanted to do a beauty pageant but
what will you do after school a lot of
us don’t know and neither did Danny
DeVito so after graduating high school
he went to work in his sister’s hair
salon from that moment on I was indebted
to my sister for the rest of my life
because there were 40 girls my age
wanted to be hair dressers in there were
about three guys so it was like really a
fantastic job becoming quite skilled at
his craft he began to apply his skills
to the deceased doing their hair in
preparation for their funerals who’s
that he’s the mortician I invited him oh
you brought the mortician okay well
that’s like I seem strange to anybody at
all eventually his acting talent would
land in parts and plays and movies hey
hit me hey huh you didn’t make a bet
martini I can’t hit you yeah I better
done huh I bet it done but to be honest
we still can’t get over the idea of the
penguin doing anyone’s hair especially
considering what his own looks like
number eight Ryan Reynolds police
officer you asked me to help you and I’m
here to help Ryan Reynolds whole look
can be summarized by the one word hunk I
want to marry you because you’re the
first person that I want to look at when
I wake up morning and the only one I
want to kiss goodnight it’s no secret
that he’s defined himself by such
archetypes as the hopeless romantic and
the likable action star but before all
that this Vancouver right might have
been wearing blue for the public eye
Reynolds has two older brothers both of
whom are police officers and he stated
in interviews that he once considered
joining them letsa disturb the shit out
of me number seven Meryl Streep singer
romance with sheer perfection
as if she wasn’t talented enough already
right in her youth meryl streep once
showed tremendous singing talent and
even studied opera for four years I’m
nice I’m what no one believes I’m Bob
weak you’re all liars and thieves like
his father thank the gods of movies bo
but Streep made the decision to pursue a
career in acting instead Streep has
since had a few chances to show off her
singing talents in movies Bo and Mamma
Mia she certainly got some skill
number six gene simmons rabbi
is it possible to play the devil’s music
and worship the Lord at the same time
well you can always ask Gene Simmons the
co-founder of the ever-popular hard rock
band kiss before this Israel born rocker
ever stuck his tongue out on stage he
attended a yeshiva where he briefly
studied to become a rabbi
there’s not much more info than that all
we know is that he then heard the
calling of rock and roll and he followed
it how did you back Jane my back is good
much much Michael not so much that’s
very nice of you to joke it’s a joke
where you going number five James
Stewart architect anything else
bothering you mmm-hmm who are you when
you look back at Hollywood royalty you’d
think these actors were born to become
legends that’s not always the case
though Jimmy Stewart the star who gave
us so many spectacular performances once
had his sights set on architecture or at
least that’s what his father wanted him
to do as he persuaded him to enroll at
Princeton University
once there
Stewart showed great promise studying
architecture at the Ivy League school
but enjoyed the educational institutions
theater and drama clubs much more and
this is where he found his true passion
I know I have acrophobia which gives me
vertigo and I get dizzy boy what a
moment to find out I had it we don’t
know if he actually had problems with
vertigo but if he did it was probably a
good idea that he avoided designing
buildings
goddamn pussy number for sting
teacher Jung ji subject of schoolgirls
once upon a time this British rocker had
more on his mind than just music for one
thing in his early life he qualified and
worked as a teacher for two years
in the evenings and on weekends he
played jazz in nightclubs honing his
craft it wasn’t until the late 70s that
he and the police made it big
Roxanne
we just wonder if he ever performed any
of his music for his students cuz
considering some of the police’s work
some of the songs would have been cool
but others would have been creepy number
three
Steve Buscemi firefighter I know when I
was a kid when I was five and I saw the
fire trucks go by you know you say wow
that looks great
and then that feeling goes away after
you really when you get older when you
realize what they actually do we all
know this celeb for his signature look
lesser-known though is Steve Buscemi
‘he’s work as a firefighter in new york
Buscemi worked for several years at
FDNY’s engine 55 and still supports New
York firefighters to this day it’s just
a joke here a good guy to the core after
the tragedy of 9/11 Buscemi volunteered
to work with the company to look through
the rubble
firefighters are great at you know
helping the public they’re great at
helping each other they’re not so adept
at you know asking for help or even
knowing that they need it and certainly
9/11 brought that to the forefront for
most actors they’re pre acting career
jobs were just for the cash
but for Buscemi it seems to have really
mattered just trying to figure out who
the bad guy is all right I was really
exciting number two
Harrison Ford carpenter
walk down any Street in LA and you
should be able to throw a rock and hit
an actor who has a day job on the side
and lithic i-th
I see getting stone for Harrison Ford
before he hit it big of course that day
job was carpentry which he took up to
support his family and I only worked at
night so I didn’t have to mix up
people’s minds about what I did for a
living those skills allowed him to be
hired by George Lucas who then cast
forward in American Graffiti hey I like
to color your car there man what’s that
supposed to be sort of a cross between
pips yellow and puke green even though
he nabbed some small film roles Ford
kept at the carpentry and in the late
70s was asked by Lucas to run lines with
other actors who are auditioning for
Star Wars that you have eventually he
would be cast in that too and the rest
is history from a long time ago in a
galaxy fuck well you get the idea not in
it for you princess I expect to be well
paid I’m in it for the money you need to
worry about your reward money is all
that you love and that’s what you’ll
receive before we reveal the alternate
destiny of our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions I would be alive
if I was to say to you
and then he chased them all out at the
end left one in there and I’d go in them
this particular lion was really more
like a dog and I would do things with
the whip oh really
invite him out for a drink and then
after about 20 minutes casually drop
into the conversation the fact that
you’d like to marry him and I’ve lost
the sex and babies you know that yes
thank you mister cause were you charged
with perjury in this incident DJ no I
was not
is that because the prosecution was
complicit in your confession judge
number one Tom Cruise Catholic priest I
feel
Hey Oh we’re pretty sure we’re not
surprising anyone when we say that Tom
Cruise is really into religion like an
egg calm down buddy Conaway dweller
range but Scientology was not always his
brand of choice
growing up Tomas Cruz may father the
fourth was raised Catholic and he
briefly attended a seminary to become a
priest
take a moment to imagine a world without
Tom Cruise seeing such lines as talk to
me goose and you complete me and
remember the world is out one
surprisingly short priest I love you do
