He's the asylum patient Victor Creel on "Stranger Things" these days, and he picked up his Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2025.
Comedian-actress Sandra Bernhard (1955) stole "The King of Comedy" as obsessive fan Masha and won a National Society of Film Critics Award for it, then settled in as Nancy Bartlett on "Roseanne." She spun "Without You I'm Nothing" from a one-woman stage show into a film and an album, and lately she's Nurse Judy on "Pose" and Cecily on "Severance."
Musician Steve Vai (1960) got his start transcribing Frank Zappa's songs as a teenager and earned a spot in Zappa's band, then went full guitar hero on David Lee Roth's "Eat 'Em and Smile" and a run with Whitesnake. The three-time Grammy winner then went solo and planted his flag with "Passion and Warfare."
