Over the years, many of our favorite stars have struggled to find various ways to further their image to portray a semblance of versatility and sustain the interest of the cine-goer audience in them.

 

With cinema undergoing a drastic change, an authentic streak of baldness in well-written roles helped several actors to not only find their box office footing but also to create the very perception of them being versatile and brave enough to accept roles that were earlier privy to coming across as stereotypes.

 

Although the shaving of the head was considered an audacious gesture, it was also a process that perhaps became necessary for several actors to undergo courtesy of the natural process of aging.

The man had long and wonderful hair when he was a lot younger. However, after having experimented with different hairstyles, he finally came to terms with the bald look.

 

Meloni has been seen in motion pictures like ’12 Monkeys’, ‘Runaway Bride’, ‘Man of Steel’, and ‘Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle’.

 

He has also had a lucrative career on television as he starred as NYPD Detective Elliot Stabler in the popular legal drama ‘Law & Order: Special Victims’ and as an inmate in ‘Oz’.

 

 

44. Dean Norris

The man has featured in several popular movies such as ‘The Counsellor’, ‘Lethal Weapon 2’, ‘Hard to Kill’, ‘Total Recall’, ‘The Firm’, ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’, ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ and ‘Sons of Liberty’ over the years.

 

However, the actor was able to come into his own and put his acting abilities on display in ‘Breaking Bad’. Needless to say, he managed to impress the viewers with his solid screen presence.

 

 

45. Dominic Purcell

 

 

 

Even though this British-Australian actor is popular for his portrayal of Lincoln Burrows in the hit television series ‘Prison Break’, he has also worked in other well-known titles like ‘Killer Elite’, ‘Blade: Trinity’, and ‘Gridlocked’.

 

He’s also starred in ‘The Flash’ alongside his ‘Prison Break’ co-actor Wentworth Miller. Acting may have come across as a far-fetched dream for Dominic Purcell at first because of his working-class background, but he never gave up on the profession and continued to study Performing Arts.

 

 

46. Billy Zane

 

 

 

Widely known as Caledon N. “Cal” Hockley from the disaster epic ‘Titanic’, a motion picture for which he received a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) nomination, Billy Zane made his screen debut with the cult ‘Back to the Future’.

 

One of the most distinguished character actors to have made his presence felt in the film industry, he belongs to a clan of performers.

 

Besides his snobbish behavior in ‘Titanic’, the actor has also been noticed for his hairdo. However, he can be seen mastering the clean-cut look now.

In addition, he has appeared in the television shows such as ‘Private Practice’ and ‘All American’.

 

However, what is most interesting about Diggs is the fact that he has authored four children’s books as well.

 

 

48. Luke Goss

 

 

 

This English actor was seen sporting straight, long hair back in the day. Also a drummer by profession, he perhaps looks a lot younger and far more charming in his bald look.

 

Luke Goss is known to have featured in several motion pictures. While he starred as Jared Nomak in ‘Blade II’, he was also seen playing Prince Nuada in ‘Hellboy II: The Golden Army’.

 

 

49. Wade Williams

 

 

 

Wade Andrew Williams may have featured in quite a few feature films over the years, but he is primarily known for his starring role as Brad Bellick on Fox’s television series ‘Prison Break’.

 

However, he is not the only bald actor to have appeared in the immensely popular television series.

 

The actor is mostly known to have played a number of character roles, one of which was on the show ‘The Bernie Mac Show’.

 

Wade has also voiced “Two-Face” in ‘Batman: The Dark Knight Returns’.

 

 

50. Common

 

 

 

Common, born Lonnie Rashid Lynn, is an actor, producer, and director. But, first and foremost, he is an able rapper.

 

Even though he’s of the opinion that baldness is overrated, he has been flaunting the bald look ever since he started losing his hair at the age of 44.

 

That said, the rapper has also featured in motion pictures like ‘American Gangster’, ‘Street Kings’, ‘Terminator Salvation’, Smokin’ Aces’, and ‘Happy Feet Two’.

 

In addition to his acting credits, Common has successfully narrated the documentary ‘Bouncing Cats’.

 

The documentary was vital in the sense that it traced how one man attempted to enhance the lives of children in Uganda through hip-hop/b-boy culture.
