Austin Butler: From Nickelodeon to the King of Rock and Roll (and Everything in Between)
You might know him from his electrifying performance as Elvis Presley in the recent biopic, but Austin Butler's career path is wilder than a ride on a mechanical bull at a Vegas wedding (and trust me, that's wild).

No shame in admitting you still sing along in the shower). But even then, you could see a twinkle in his eye that hinted at bigger things to come.
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
