big break

The actor and comedian toiled for years in bit parts before getting his big break on HBO’s ‘Silicon Valley.’

After years as a struggling nobody, he got his big break just as color television was taking over the airwaves and became a suave leading man with a honeyed baritone — a South Korean blend of Harrison Ford and Hugh Grant.

An actress who received a big break working alongside household names in a new TV drama has confessed she did not recognise them when filming first started.

He also produced movies including 1985's The Color Purple, which gave Winfrey her big break.

The big break came in late November, when a Sonoma County woman was hiking in the woods near her home about 25 miles from the Klaas home.
