While Gross might have hit his fame early with the beloved sitcom, he did not let its ending hold him back. Since then, he’s starred in plenty of other hit shows, like Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, as well as seven of the films in the horror-action franchise Tremors. In fact, the most recent Tremors came out in 2020 and Gross says he’s already prepared to do another!

Robert Fuller – 88 Years Old

When actor Robert Fuller started his career in the 1950s, he initially earned bit parts in western television shows. However, when audiences saw him, he quickly became one of the brightest stars in Hollywood. From there, Fuller earned much better roles in westerns like The Hard Ride and strange B-movies like The Brain from Planet Arous.

After years of working incredibly hard, Fuller’s major breakthrough came in popular 1960s series like Laramie and Wagon Trail. He then continued his fame into the 1970s with a lead role on the medical drama Emergency! These days, with a current net worth of $5 million, Fuller has earned some peace and quiet at 87 years old, retiring a few years ago.

Billy Dee Williams – 85 Years Old

Broadway actor Billy Dee Williams started his prolific career at the young age of eight in a stage production of The Firebrand of Florence. Since then, he has enjoyed numerous acting projects for Broadway, film, and television. Yet, it wasn’t until the 1980s that the actor rose to global prominence thanks to his performance as Lando Calrissian in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. 

Outside of the Star Wars franchise, Williams’s cinematic performances have included roles in films such as Batman, Brian’s Song, and Lady Sings the Blues. But in 2019, Star Wars fans rejoiced when the actor reprised his role as Lando in the movie The Rise of Skywalker.
