Several Hollywood stars have opened up about their early days and how they were struggling for financial stability before making it big as a movie star.

Renner began his acting career with a small role in the 1995 TV show Deadly Games. As he continued more gigs, his breakthrough did not till the 2002 movie Dahmer, in which he played the titular role of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who killed 17 people.
