Milo Ventimiglia
Just like Melissa, it was getting a part in Gilmore Girls that made Milo scrap his plans to give up on acting.
He told Entertainment Weekly in 2017: "I think right before Gilmore was one moment where I questioned if I wanted to stay in acting.
"I've had three [moments] in my 22 years where I was gonna quit. ... I was gonna go be an auto mechanic."
