Like music-video trivia? Or pictures of smokin’ celebrity stud muffins talented male thespians? Then you’ll want to check out AOL Music’s extensive ”You Gotta Start Somewhere” gallery (Superman’s in there!). I knew, for example, that Josh Holloway got an early break in an Aerosmith video, but didn’t recall CSI: Miami’s Adam Rodriguez jonesin’ for J.Lo in "If You Had My Love" or Josh Duhamel popping up in Xtina’s "Genie in a Bottle." And just wait till you see which actor’s name was "Luka." Who knew?
Which music videos gave famous actors their big breaks?
