19) Gemma Chan

Gemma Chan was trained as a lawyer, graduated from Oxford, and then she chose acting. Her law training has given her more than just a discipline and analytical approach to work; it gave her resilience and a critical sense of mind, qualities she'd benefit from in Hollywood as a thoughtful, complex actress. Her decision to quit law for acting shows her passion for following her dreams.
