10 Actors Who Appeared On Twilight Zone Before They Were Famous

The Twilight Zone emerged as a trendsetter in early 1960s television while offering employment to young actors who would later become mainstream stars. Created by Rod Serling, the anthology series was usually geared toward the genres of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy. Presenting standalone Kafkaesque scenarios with morals and twist endings, The Twilight Zone spawned its own media empire, complete with three follow-up series, a feature film, a TV film, a radio series, theme park attractions and a lot more. While The Twilight Zone itself walked in the footsteps of Tales of Tomorrow and Science Fiction Theater, it provided the blueprint for future sci-fi anthologies like Outer Limits and Black Mirror.
