24 Oscar Winners and Nominees Who Started Out on Soap Operas

Everybody's got to start somewhere.

For some people, it's theater or commercials, but for many, many actors, their first job was on a soap opera. Julianne Moore played dual characters on "As the World Turns," Laurence Fishburne played a teen drug dealer on "One Life to Live" and Susan Sarandon played a murderous drifter on "Search for Tomorrow," a soap that was also among the first gigs for Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Kline, and Viggo Mortensen.

Who else got a boost from the soap opera world? Leonardo DiCaprio, Alicia Vikander, and Bryan Cranston are just a few of these performers who now call themselves Oscar nominees.
