Actor Timothy Spall (1957) went from "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" and "Secrets & Lies" to playing the rat-like Wormtail in "Harry Potter" and the title painter in "Mr. Turner."

Actor Noah Emmerich (1965) delivered memorable turns in "The Truman Show" and "Miracle" before landing his signature role in "The Americans."

Singer Josh Groban (1981) turned a guest spot on "Ally McBeal" into a global career defined by the massive hit "You Raise Me Up." He recently put those pipes to use on Broadway, earning rave reviews for his turn in the revival of "Sweeney Todd."
