Amaury Nolasco (actor) Status: Completely Bald

Amaury Nolasco (born Amaury Nolasco Garrido; December 24, 1970) is a Puerto Rican actor, best known for the role of Fernando Sucre on the television series Prison Break.

Nolasco has guest-starred in various television series such as Arli$$, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and ER. His first role on a feature film was as "Orange Julius" in Universal's 2 Fast 2 Furious. He then went on to co-star opposite Bernie Mac in Mr. 3000.

Amaury Nolasco is already known by fans of the hit show Prison Break but those of us who don't watch the show may have already seen him in films such as Transformers and 2 Fast 2 Furious. Despite being bald, he has garnered attention from some of the most beautiful women in the world such as Dayanara Torres, who was a former Miss Universe. He has also been linked to Jennifer Morrison who is best-known for her role as Dr. Allison Cameron on the medical drama House. In fact, his whole tough guy image is accentuated by his bald head. Its sad to see his curly long locks of hair go but if it helps your career and doesn't scare away the women- why not go completely bald.

Glenn Morshower (actor) Status: Balding

Glenn Morshower (born April 24, 1959) is an American actor known for his recurring role as Secret Service Agent Aaron Pierce on the television drama 24. Aside from series star Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer), Morshower is the only actor to appear in each of the seven seasons of the series. His character Pierce has developed a following among the show's fandom.

Morshower has been known to play poker. He appeared on an episode of World Poker Tour on May 5, 2008 where he finished 6th place. The bad part about being bald when playing poker is that people can see your sweat on your forehead when you bluff.

James Robert Rebhorn (actor) Status: Balding

James Robert Rebhorn (born September 1, 1948) is an American actor who has appeared in over 100 television shows, feature films & plays.

This guy has been bald ever since he's graced the screen but he uses that to his advantage since he's always playing sneaky and slithering characters who will always stab you in the back. I mean most used car men are bald right?

Jimmie Walker (actor) Status: Completely Bald

Jimmie Walker (actor) Status: Completely Bald

James Carter "Jimmie" Walker (born June 25, 1947) is an American actor and stand-up comedian known for portraying J. J. Evans on the television series Good Times, which ran from 1974 to 1979. While on the show, his character was known for the catch phrase "Kid-a-Dy-no-mite".

The lovable Jimmie Walker has always been a familiar face on television. Though he didn't experience baldness as a cast member on his television show Good Times, he experienced it later on in life. During Good Times, he could always been seen wearing his trademark hat. Many people out there believe that due to his constant hat wearing, he went bald. As we all know, that is totally false.So the lesson here is don't let the fear of baldness keep you from wearing a hat.

Louis Cameron Gossett, Jr. (Oscar winning actor) Status: Completely Bald

Louis Cameron Gossett, Jr. (born May 27, 1936) is an Oscar-winning American actor.

Gossett stepped into the world of cinema in the Sidney Poitier vehicle A Raisin in the Sun in 1961.
Since his film debut, Gossett has starred in numerous film productions such as The Deep, An Officer and a Gentleman, Jaws 3-D (as SeaWorld manager Calvin Bouchard), Enemy Mine, the Iron Eagle series, Toy Soldiers and The Punisher. His role as Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley in the 1982 film An Officer and a Gentleman (opposite Richard Gere) showcased his talent and won him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. In 1986, he starred in another role as a military man in the film Iron Eagle. It was followed by three sequels.

Louis Cameron Gossett, Jr. has always used his bald head to his advantage playing tough characters and military personnel. Having a bald head never kept him from acting jobs and I personally think with his bald head, he had more acting opportunities. He played many strong characters and his bald head accentuated these performances. He did so well in his acting career that he eventually won an Oscar for his portrayal as Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley (see pic above) in the 1982 film An Officer and a Gentleman.

Stan Laurel (actor/ comedian) Status: Balding

Stan Laurel (born Arthur Stanley Jefferson; 16 June, 1890 – 23 February, 1965) was an English comic actor, writer and director, famous as the first half of the comedy double-act Laurel and Hardy, whose career stretched from the silent films of the early 20th century until after World War II.

The hat always covered his ever balding head.

Lewis Hamilton (formula 1 racing chamption) Status: Balding

Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton^[1] MBE (born 7 January 1985 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire^[2]) is a British Formula One racing driver from England, currently racing for the McLaren Mercedes team and is the youngest ever Formula One World Champion.

Lewis Hamilton has always been a fast person as he was winning go kart races as a child and now as a young adult has set numerous records and has secured a Formula 1 Championship. But nothing is faster than the hair loss Hamilton has been experiencing in the last couple of years. As you can see, he's been losing hair in the frontal cortex and you can see that his hairline has consistently risen. As he gets older, he will eventually go bald but that won't stop him from getting hot chicks. As in the picture above, you can see that he and Nicole Scherzinger, the front woman for the singing group the Pussycat Dolls, have dated for some time now.

Dave Ramsey (financial guru, author, speaker) Status: Bald

David L. Ramsey III (born September 3, 1960) is an American financial author, radio host, television personality, and motivational speaker.

Dave Ramsey has always had the drive to be financially successful. He also hates credit cards as you can see in the photo above where he just cuts them to pieces. Though he has been financially successful, he hasn't been that successful in the hair department. In the younger photo above, you could see that his hair was thinning and now that he's older, his hair is almost gone except for the few strands on the top of his head. He is probably too old now to get a hair transplant since we all know he has the money to perform one. Dave Ramsey is a great example that money can't buy you hair but it also proves that you don't need hair to be financially successful!

John Amos (actor/ former AFL player) Status: Bald

John Amos (born December 27, 1939) is an American actor and former football player. His television work includes roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Good Times, the miniseries Roots, and a recurring role in The West Wing. He has also appeared on Broadway and in numerous motion pictures in a career that spans four decades. He has received nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award and NAACP Image Award.

Amos has the distinction of winning more TV Land Awards than anyone, taking home trophies for his roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Good Times and the TV miniseries Roots.

In addition to his successful career on television, John Amos was also a football player in the former league known as the AFL. His large presence on the made him intimdating on both the field and the television. Like his fellow bald celebrity tv actor Sherman Hemsley, Amos's receding hairline added to his character on the show Good Times. As the show progress, his hair loss became more prominent. He now from time to time shaves his head, which definitely shaves years of as he looks younger in the picture above. Just another reason for anyone who is balding to shave their head.

Young Jeezy (rapper) Status: Completely Bald

Young Jeezy (rapper) Status: Completely Bald

Jay Jenkins (born September 28, 1977)^[1] better known by his stage name Young Jeezy, is an American rapper and member of the Hip-Hop group USDA and a former member of Boyz n da Hood.

Even though Young Jeezy has been successful in the music business and can obviously afford a hair transplant, he chooses not to. Probably because his balding may be to far advanced already and getting a transplant would put a big scar across his head. Since he has a completely shaven head, a hair transplant would not be a good option. Even an FUE procedure would leave little dotted scars on his would which would contrast with his brown complexion. So far, Young Jeezy has been wise to abstain from any hair transplant procedures. As you can also see in the picture above, he wears a hoodie. Since rappers are known for their caps, hats, etc. he kind of gets a free pass that he's not trying to hide his baldness- it's all part of the style. Keep it real Young Jeezy!

Andy Kaufman (actor/ famed comedian) Status: Balding

Andrew Geoffrey "Andy" Kaufman (January 17, 1949 – May 16, 1984) was an American entertainer, actor and performance artist. While often referred to as a comedian, Kaufman did not consider himself one.^[1] He disdained telling jokes and engaging in comedy as it was traditionally understood, referring to himself instead as a "song and dance man."

Kaufman was born in New York City, on January 17, 1949, the first son of Janice (née Bernstein) and Stanley Kaufman. He grew up in a middle-class Jewish family,^[2] in Great Neck, Long Island, New York, and began performing at age nine.^[3] He attended the now defunct two-year Grahm Junior College,^[4] in Boston, graduating in 1971. He then began performing stand-up comedy at various small clubs along the East Coast.

Famed comedian and actor Andy Kaufman made a splash on TV with his antics and humor on the tv show Taxi , alongside fellow veteran actors and bald celebs Danny Devito and Christopher Llyod. He garnered a massive following with his many appearances on television from Saturday Night Live to his own comedy specials such as Andy's Funhouse. Being a tormented soul like most great comedians, being bald was the least of his worries. His great life was cut short at the age of 35 due to kidney failure. Though he has passed, he will not be remembered for his hair loss but for his amazing comedic range and talent. We love you Andy Kaufman.

James R. Black (actor/ former NFL player) Status: Completely Bald

James Richard Black (born April 3, 1962 in Lima, Ohio) is an American film and television actor, and former professional football player.

James Black has had the dual honor of playing in the NFL as well as achieving success as an actor. Even though his career as a NFL player was short, he gained success and recognition as an actor. With his completely bald head and muscular build, he easily passes as a football player but who would have known he had an ability to act as well. He has been sporting his completely bald head for sometime now and it seems as though it has not affected his ability to get roles and build a successful career as an actor. Yay for bald celebs!

Sherman Hemsley (TV star) Status: Bald on the Top

Sherman Alexander Hemsley (born February 1, 1938) is an American actor, most famous for his role as George Jefferson on the CBS television series All in the Family and The Jeffersons and as Deacon Ernest Frye on Amen. He also played Earl Sinclair's horrifying boss, a Triceratops named B.P. Richfield on the Jim Henson sitcom, Dinosaurs.

Sherman Hemsley has graced TV audiences for decades with his on screen boisterous persona as well as his horse shoe haircut. After acting in All in the Family, he starred in The Jeffersons which was a successful spin-off series and was the first and longest running comedy (or series of any genre) with a predominantly African American cast in the history of American television. The show was so popular Sherman Hemsley evetually graced the cover of TV Guide. Though many tv actors may find being bald a cracutch, Hemsley's case, his bald head added to his obnoxiousness and onscreen performance. We all know that it would not be the same if he had a full head of hair.

Harry Wayne "K.C." Casey (musician)

Harry Wayne "K.C." Casey (born January 31, 1951) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and producer. He is most famous for his group, KC and the Sunshine Band and as a producer of several hits for other artists.

Some of the biggest hits ever in U.S. history can be attributed to Harry Wayne "K.C." Casey. His songs live on even today from parties at retirement homes to the local skating rink. Some of his memorable songs include "Get Down Tonight" and "That's the Way (I Like It)." Other Casey favorites include "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty," "I'm Your Boogie Man," "Keep It Comin' Love" and "Please Don't Go."

Yes, Harry Wayne "K.C." Casey has been balding ever since he hit it big with his band and has continued to bald but that hasn't stopped him from getting all the ladies. Even though K.C. has millions of dollars and can afford a hairtranplant, he prefers to go all natural- That's the way he likes it- UH-HUH, UH-HUH!

Columbus Short (dancer, actor, singer) Status: Completely Bald

Columbus Keith Short, Jr. (born September 19, 1982) is an NAACP Image Award-winning American choreographer, actor, and singer. He choreographed Britney Spears's Onyx Hotel Tour and worked with Brian Friedman (of So You Think You Can Dance fame). He is most known for the lead role of "D.J." in the motion picture Stomp the Yard.

Columbus Short is a tremendously talented individual most known for his choreography but has finally hit the big screen with a major leading role along side such heavyweights as Matt Dillion and Laurence Fishburne in this month's new film Armored. I personally saw the film and thought that he did such a great job as an armored truck guard torn between what he believes in and a jackpot of $42 million in cash . Also I want to compliment him on finally shaving his receding hairline.

Bradie James (NFL linebacker for Dallas Cowboys) Status: Completely Bald

Bradie James (NFL linebacker for Dallas Cowboys) Status: Completely Bald

Bradie Gene James (born January 17, 1981 in Monroe, Louisiana) is an American football linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League.

Bradie James has always been an excellent athlete starting in college where he named the Defensive MVP of the 2000 Peach Bowl his sophmore year at LSU. He went on to become the second player in LSU history to register more than 400 career tackles, behind Al Richardson (1979-1982).

He was drafted to the Dallas Cowboys in 2003 and has been with them ever since. He's not afraid to get rough on the field nor is he afraid to sport his bald head (he shaves it completely because he's balding..and it makes him faster). Go Brady!

Joe Johns (CNN News Anchor) Status: Completely Bald

Joe Johns (CNN News Anchor) Status: Completely Bald

Joe Johns is a CNN correspondent based in the Washington, D.C. bureau. He previously worked as an NBC News Capitol Hill Correspondent for TODAY and other NBC programs, including those appearing on MSNBC.

You can always count on Joe Johns to hit you with the news on CNN. He has made an excellent career as a newscaster despite being completely bald. He started out his career with a receding hairline and finally shaved it all off- which in my opinion looks better. The fact that he's a news anchor and has no hair dispels the notion that all news anchors need to have a full head of hair. So Joe, we salute and thank you for paving the way for all the aspiring bald news anchors out there.

Jimmy Smits (Actor) Status: Balding

Jimmy Smits (born July 9, 1955) is an American actor. Smits is perhaps best known for his roles as lawyer Victor Sifuentes on the 1980s legal drama L.A. Law (a role he played from 1986 to 1991), as Detective Bobby Simone in the 1990s police drama NYPD Blue (a role he played from 1994 to 1998), and also as Matt Santos on The West Wing (which he played from 2004-06). He is also notable for portraying Bail Organa in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

Here is a fairly recent photo of good ol' Jimmy Smits. He came up in the news some time ago for almost killing a stuntman by using a real instead of a fake knife in a fight scene for the tv show Dexter. Other than that little mishap, it seems as though his hair looks quite a bit more youthful. My take is he is wearing a hair piece or had a hair transplant. Despite this new head of hair, it hasn't really ressurected his career to what it use to be even though he did get an Emmy nomination for his role in the tv show Dexter. Congrats Jimmy!..And check the knife next time.

Broderick Johnson (Film Producer) Status: Completely Bald

Broderick Johnson is an American film producer, and co-founder of Alcon Entertainment.
Essence listed Johnson third behind Will Smith and Tyler Perry in their "2009 Power List of the most influential African American agents, producers and directors in Hollywood." ^[1]

Gerard Butler and Broderick Johnson worked together for the box office hit P.S. I Love You. Their partnership on this film helped solidified the status of the movie production company Alcon Entertainment. Above is a picture of Broderick Johnson and Gerard Butler. It's ironic because here is a completely bald film producer with one of the few actors in Hollywood with a naturally full head of hair. Who said opposites don't attract?

Reginald VelJohnson (actor) Status: Bald

Reginald VelJohnson (born August 16, 1952) is an American actor of film, stage and television, best known for his role as Carl Winslow on the sitcom Family Matters, where he was the only cast member to appear in every single episode. He was also LAPD Sgt. Al Powell in the film Die Hard (1988) and its sequel Die Hard 2 (1990).

Reginald VelJohnson has always been balding and for some reason has always played a cop whether in film (Die Hard) or on television (Family Matters). Maybe with his acting career in the slumps, it's time for a career change...are you thinking what I'm thinking? :)

Adam Jamal Craig (actor) Status: Completely Bald

Adam Jamal Craig is an American actor. Adam stars as Special Agent Dominic Vaile in NCIS: Los Angeles^[1], a spin-off of NCIS that premiered in September 2009.^[2]
He has also appeared in The Office, Heroes, Crossing Jordan, Las Vegas and The O.C..

Adam Jamal Craig is fairly new to television audiences even though he has had some roles in some of TV's most popular shows. Even though he is young and bald, he still is very fashionable (see pic above) and fashion always trumps a full head of hair.

LL Cool J (rapper/actor) Status: Completely Bald

James Todd Smith (born January 14, 1968),^[1] better known as LL Cool J, is an American rapper and actor. LL Cool J stands for "Ladies Love Cool James".^[2] He is known for romantic ballads such as "I Need Love", "Around the Way Girl" and "Hey Lover" as well as pioneering hip-hop such as "I Can't Live Without My Radio", "I'm Bad", "The Boomin' System", and "Mama Said Knock You Out". He has also appeared in several films. LL Cool J is one of a few hip-hop stars of his era to sustain a successful recording career for more than two decades, with more recent singles like "4, 3, 2, 1", "Headsprung" and "Rocking With The G.O.A.T" and "No Crew Is Superior". He has released twelve studio albums and a greatest hits compilation so far, with his latest album being 2008's Exit 13, the last for LL's record deal with Def Jam Recordings. He now resides in Manhasset, New York with his wife and four children. ^[3]

^{I could not find any before pictures of LL Cool J and his hair so I am assuming he went bald pretty early in his youth. He was always wearing those hats in the 80's when he first started his rap career as a teenager. As he grew older, he has come to accept his baldness and instead focus on building his body. One thing is for sure: the ladies still love LL Cool J even if he's bald. Plus he's got a crazy ripped body (which of course takes focus off a bald head)!!}

Jerry Rice (NFL Player) Status: Completely Bald

Jerry Lee Rice (born October 13, 1962) is an American former football player. He is widely regarded as the greatest wide receiver ever and one of the greatest players in National Football League (NFL) history.^[1] The all-time leader in every major statistical category for wide receivers^[2] and the all-time NFL leader in touchdowns scored with 208, Rice was selected to the Pro Bowl 13 times (1986–1996, 1998, 2002) and named All-Pro 10 times in his 20 NFL seasons. He won three Super Bowl rings playing for the San Francisco 49ers and an AFC Championship with the Oakland Raiders.

Jerry Rice obviously had a receding hairline while playing in the NFL. You can see in his before pictures how his cornrows begin way back past his forehead area. Good thing he shaved it all off. A sidenote: Who would have known he could play football and ballroom dance (on Dancing with the Stars). Congrats Jerry!

Here is Hugh Laurie at an airport. For some reason he has hair in the front but hair loss on the crown. This could be a sign of a Hair Transplant or it could just be the way he is balding. Either way, he obviously wears a hair piece on his hit tv show House.

Terry O'Quinn (Actor) Status: Completely Bald
