The in-universe version is [[Master Actor]].

** Audio Books? How about Inkspell? He's the vocal inspiration for one of the roles! (Mo. And he played him in the well casted ''[[The Inkworld Trilogy|Inkheart]]'' movie.)

* [[Jeri Ryan]]'s debut on ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' was met with a degree of eye-rolling from the fanbase: "Oh great, here comes a shameless attempt at [[Ms. Fanservice]], [[Narm]] ahoy, etc..." Then came that episode where she had to manifest a dozen different personalities in twenty minutes... [[Hidden Depths]] indeed.

* Much of the young adult cast (the "Golden Trio", in particular) of the ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' franchise have been receiving relieved sighs from critics, who recognize that, as they've grown, they've all truly grown into their characters. [[Daniel Radcliffe]], who recently starred (nude, yes) in ''[[Equus]]'' in London's West End (and other places afterwards), also received positive reviews overall... And come to think of it, there are plenty of child actors that developed into, you know, actual actors.

* Jamie Foxx earned his stripes with ''Ray''.

*** [[Speak]] is a great performance too.

*** [[Adventureland]] also counts, with a surprisingly realistic performance.

** Stewart seems to be a genuinely talented actress; she's simply best known for a role whose motivations and lines are incredibly hard to communicate convincingly.

* Billy Connolly in a number of smaller roles, but the breakout is probably the film ''Mrs Brown''. As well as [[The Boondock Saints]] franchise in which he plays the stoic, [[Badass Grandpa|aging yet ruthless]] [[Hitman with a Heart]].

** And her brief, almost self mocking appearance on ''[[Supernatural]]'' in season 5.

* In the early '90s, probably no one thought that rapper [[Mark Wahlberg|"Marky Mark" Wahlberg]] will once be nominated for an Oscar (''[[The Departed]]'', 2006).

** Similarly, his brother Donnie Wahlberg was just that dude from New Kids on the Block until he showed up in ''[[Ransom]].'' Later performances in ''[[The Sixth Sense]]'' and ''[[Band of Brothers]]'' cemented his status as a solid, talented character actor.

* Most people wrote Orlando Bloom off as basically worthless because of his [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|popularity with]] [[Unfortunate Implications|girls and women]] until his [[Take That Me|self-deprecating]] appearance on an episode of ''Extras'' and his performance as a near-suicidal failed writer in the London play ''In Celebration.'' Fans could have told these people that all they needed to do was watch him in ''Ned Kelly'' or ''Haven'' to see what he can do.
