A famous actor has one of the most recognizable faces in the business, but people tend to struggle when it comes to remembering his name.

We can almost guarantee his face will seem familiar, but can you recall who this man is?

Most notably, he's taken on the roles of Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day, as well as Sammy Jankis in Memento and Mr. Bates in Freaky Friday.

The actor has spent 35 years in Hollywood and recently spoke about his career in an interview with Comicbook.

We are, of course, talking about the mega talented Stephen Tobolowsky.

Speaking about his role in Groundhog Day, Stephen said he was very proud of the movie, despite its challenges.

"I'm very proud of Groundhog Day...because it wasn't easy," he explained.

"It was a battle to create the show that it was. After the first week, Harold Ramis got with Danny Rubin, our writer, and he says, 'What's the story we're really telling here?' Are we going to have a series of sequences where Bill just has no consequences and acts crazy, like he was doing in all of those movies back then, or are we telling the story about, what is the time of our life, and how do we use it?"

He continued: "... We were getting new pages every day; it was like guerilla theatre, doing Groundhog Day.

"And in a way, that either leads to disaster, or leads to something brilliant. In terms of Groundhog Day it led to something just brilliant, what Harold Ramis and Danny Rubin did."

Most recently, Stephen starred in holiday movie, Candy Cane Lane alongside Eddie Murphy.

He's also set to return to star in the Freaky Friday 2 movie as Mr Bates.

Last week, we told you how the world's richest actor is worth a whopping $3 billion, but most people wouldn't recognize her.

Best known for some of her roles in movies and TV shows released in the 80s to 00s, Jami Gertz surprisingly sits as the richest actor on earth.

Gertz has starred in the likes of Twister, The Lost Boys, Still Standing and Sixteen Candles over the years. Her most recent role was in 2022 Prime Video rom-com, I Want You Back.

While she will have made a substantial amount from her acting career, it's her business endeavors away from Hollywood that's really helped her financial success.

Gertz wed American businessman, Tony Ressler, in 1989. A year after tying the knot, Ressler founded private equity firms Apollo Global Management and he's now has a net worth of $10.5 billion, as per Forbes.

The married pair have used the wealth over the years in to invest in sports teams and are part owners of NBA team the Atlanta Hawks and minority owners of the baseball team Milwaukee Beavers.

As well as this, Gertz founded her own production company, Lime Orchard Productions, in 2010.
