What leading man started his career as Prince Charming in a Disney On Ice show?
I still think that someday I'll just be sitting in a restaurant somewhere or walking down the street, and some random person with crazy hair and cool sunglasses will walk up to me and do that thing where they hold their hands in front of them to create a frame to see what things would look like onscreen — and then I'll be "discovered" and become a famous movie star.
Sadly, turns out that's apparently not the way most movie stars get started. They have to work odd jobs and most of the time deal with relentless rejection before they finally find any kind of break.
For one leading man, that start included lacing up a pair of figure skates and hitting the ice. Who was it?

The answer is: Patrick Swayze. Before he was keeping babies out of corners and making pottery from the great beyond, Patrick Swayze paid the bills with some family-friendly moves on the ice. When he was a recent college graduate, Patrick Swayze toured for a year with the Disney on Parade ice show as their resident Prince Charming. One of the many Cinderellas he danced with just so happened to be Michelle Pfeiffer.Source
