Reminds me of how Samuel L. Jackson was a no-name actor until starring in Pulp Fiction at 46.

He was in Do the Right Thing and Jungle Fever, two of the most talked-about films in urban America in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Wikipedia claims that his role in the latter film even drew attention at Cannes, so he wasn’t entirely no-name, even if Pulp Fiction made him a big star.
And the Robert Moses biography fills up his life up to age 40 within only the first chapter.
