Truck driving was a little too difficult for these people, so they switched to acting or singing instead. I guess the open road is not for everyone. Still, it is interesting to

see who got their start in trucking.

1. Liam Neeson

Before he became a famous actor in movies like Taken

and Schindler's List, Liam had a "particular set of skills" in

the truck driving world. He grew up as a driver in his

home country of Ireland. He also was a forklift driver

for Guinness. I think he should have stayed with that job.

2. Sean Connery

Yes the great 007 was a former Truck Driver. He held an

array of jobs before he settled on acting. The ability to

drive a Big Rig helped land him his first acting job. Without

trucking, we might not have ever seen him on the big screen.

3. James Cameron

You probably have not seen any of his films like Titanic

or Avatar. Oh you have? Well you can thank trucking for

bring you those movies. James Cameron used trucking

as a way to fuel his passion for directing before he quit

to do directing full time.

4. The King

That Beautiful Truck to the right is in honor of The King, Elvis Presley. Before he became the king of Rock n Roll, Elvis worked as a truck driver earning about $40 a week. He was told to stick to driving, because he would never make it as a singer. I think he made the right decision to switch.
