Actor Kurt Russell (1951) became a full-blown genre legend with "Escape from New York," "The Thing," and "Big Trouble in Little China." He later played Santa in "The Christmas Chronicles" and returned for season two of "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters."

Actor Rob Lowe (1964) rode the teen idol wave of "The Outsiders" into the hallowed halls of "The West Wing" and the quirky government offices of "Parks and Recreation."

Musician Billy Corgan (1967) broke into the alternative rock stratosphere with The Smashing Pumpkins on the breakthrough album "Siamese Dream." He later picked up a Grammy Award for the hit single "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" and recently released the new album "Aghori Mhori Mei."

Actor John Boyega (1992) leveled up from the street-level sci-fi of "Attack the Block" to wield a lightsaber in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." He recently brought his talents to the critically acclaimed sci-fi film "They Cloned Tyrone" and is expected to star in a prequel television series based on "The Book of Eli."
