Contrary to popular belief, there’s rarely such a thing as an overnight success in Hollywood—at least in the eyes of the performer themselves. Usually that big break happens after a slow-motion rise to the top: month after month of grueling auditions, endless hours toiling to perfect their craft, weeks of creating a character on the soundstage and possibly even years of blink-and-you’ll-miss-them performances.

But in the public’s eyes, all it takes it that one big moment that suddenly announces them as a Breakout Star. Hollywood.com takes a look at 2006’s smashing success stories, overnight or otherwise.
