Tommy Lee Jones

You can just tell that this young man would go on to be a 'Man in Black' from this picture - but only because he looks like he might be a member of the FBI! This is a serious, brooding look for Jones, who's described as being something of a jock and a ladies' man when he was at high school. He's benefited from looking like he might be involved in law enforcement though; his first big role was in 'The Fugitive.'

You could say that detective roles have defined Jones' whole career, from 'No Country for Old Men,' to 'Captain America: The First Avenger.' He is capable of cracking a smile every now and then though - we've already mentioned 'Men in Black,' where he struck a fine on-screen partnership with Will Smith. He was also entertaining as a terrorist in the first 'Under Siege' movie - where his off-kilter performance made his character more likable than we imagine he was supposed to be.
