In the entertainment industry, we have a weakness for remembering, mentioning, and celebrating milestones in someone’s career.
As we begin the new year, several high-caliber actors in Hollywood will be turning 70. Some of these prominent actors have been in the industry for a long time. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that they will turn 70.
Tom Hanks
One of the best to ever do it. Hanks will turn 70 in July. His talent and versatility as an actor are astonishing. We witnessed Tom transition from a comedy actor to a serious actor. His performance in ‘Philadelphia’ changed everything. We think this was the pivotal moment of his career when’re people said to themselves, “Tom Hanks is no average actor.”
Hanks went on to win back-to-back Oscars for Best Lead Actor for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. He’s also known for his work on the Toy Story film series and is a frequent collaborator with the great filmmaker Steven Spielberg.
Bryan Cranston
Cranston is another actor who can be funny but also serious. He has a lot of range as an actor. He will be turning 70 in March.
Breaking Bad is arguably the greatest TV drama series of all time. The show and writing are very consistent. Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad, is a genius. Bryan’s performance as Walter White earned him four Emmy awards. He’s also great in Malcolm in the Middle, All the Way, Trumbo, and his portrayal of President Lyndon B. Johnson in the Broadway play All the Way, which earned him a Tony nomination.
Geena Davis
From 1988 to 1992, Davis had an impeccable run with the films she starred in. During that period, she delivered impressive performances in Beetlejuice, The Accidental Tourist, Thelma and Louise, and one of the best baseball films of all time, A League of Their Own.
She’s a two-time Oscar nominee, three-time Golden Globe nominee, and won a Golden Globe in 2006 for Best Actress in a TV Series Drama (Commander in Chief). Geena will turn 70 on Jan 21.
Other Hollywood actors who will turn 70 are:
– Mel Gibson
– Kim Cattrall
– Nathan Lane
– William Fichtner
