Hollywood A-Listers Who Got Their Big Break in Horror Films

Henry Cavill

You might know him as Superman, but Henry Cavill actually got his big break encountering Pinhead in the eighth Hellraiser installment. Cavill played sex addict Mike in Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005) in which he's gruesomely offed by a Cenobite. Hopefully, getting impaled by a giant hook and dying in midair was worth it, since the role helped to launch his career.
