STEVE BURNS
THEN: Steve Burns hosted one of the most popular children's shows of all time, "Blue's Clues." But he wasn't a shoo-in for the part. The self-proclaimed "skate rat" showed up at his audition with long hair and an earring (thinking the role was only the voice of a cartoon), but when they cleaned him up and slipped him into the iconic striped shirt, he became a kids show legend.
NOW: While he was a superstar with the toddler set, Burns was virtually unknown to the non-kid or parent audience. He stuck with the show for seven years before moving on to pursue his other interests. These days Steve's a musician, collaborating with members of the Flaming Lips, and he can be seen in the film "Christmas On Mars," directed by Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne.
