Kris Kristofferson
Kris Kristofferson is one of those multi-talented actors that seems to shine in any industry he participates in. Two of his earliest albums received gold status, and he played in the infamous 2001 movie Planet of the Apes. But before he was rocking stages and shooting films, he was a pretty good football player.
In 1958, he played for Pomona College, where he got his first taste of fame, appearing in Sports Illustrated for his achievements in numerous sports. While earning his second undergraduate degree, he even tried boxing for a bit, but ultimately, he transitioned from sports to the arts.
