Benjamin Bratt turned to acting after giving up on his first career ambition to be a dentist.

The Hollywood star decided to treat teeth when he was in high school, after becoming inspired by a friend’s father.

He explains, “I had a good friend in high school who’s father was a dentist. I was so impressed by him, I thought he had it all together. I thought if I became a dentist I’d be a happening person too.”
