Jeff Bridges's father was busy B-movie star and TV icon Lloyd Bridges, so he got to skip the entire "struggling actor" phase. He played an infant in his first movie, The Company She Keeps (1951), and before adolescence he had appeared on his father's Sea Hunt. At 14, he was in a touring stage production of Anniversary Waltz. At 17, his parents contacted a group called Developing Adolescents Without Narcotics, which put Bridges through an "intervention" to snap his marijuana habit. At 21, he was in The Last Picture Show, and Bridges became a movie star.
His famous films include Hearts of the West, the 1976 King Kong, Tron, Starman, Jagged Edge, The Fabulous Baker Boys, The Fisher King, and Seabiscuit. Bridges also starred in The Big Lebowski (1998), directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Bridges is simply perfect as an aging, bearded, cocktail-sipping, pothead bowler who answers only to "The Dude". The part was written for him, and he wears some of his own clothes in the movie, causing some to suspect that "The Dude" is Jeff Bridges.
When he isn't making movies, Bridges chairs Hunger Free America. Bridges has dropped acid, done transcendental meditation, and in 2000 he released an album of pop music.

I didn't get beyond the thinking stage, either. Ended up smoking Thai sticks and occupying university buildings instead.
