Patrick Dempsey – 53

Patrick Dempsey decided to drop out of school in order to pursue his dream – to be an actor. There is no doubt about it that he made the right choice, though we doubt his mom and dad thought so at the time!

Dempsey’s career got going as a stage actor, first, from the age of just fifteen. The popular TV series Grey’s Anatomy made Dempsey a household name. Aside from film, Dempsey has involved himself with cancer research following his mother’s ovarian cancer diagnosis, from which she died at 79 years old, in 2014.
