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

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 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!
