20 Celebs You Won't Believe Turned 40 This Year

16. David Faustino

David Faustino is someone else that hasn't exactly been at the forefront of the society's thoughts for a while. His claim to fame is as Bud Bundy on Married...With Children, and he played the role well for 11 seasons. Bud was the perfect teenage boy... going through changes, becoming obsessed with sex, inwardly cool but outwardly dorky, and enjoys torturing his older sibling. MWC was a huge success, partly thanks to the Bud character. Faustino did such a great job as Bud Bundy that he, for all intents and purposes, has entered "Forever Bud" mode. No matter what he did after MWC ended 17 years ago, people would continue to view him as Bud, to the point that his real name isn't as famous as the name of his character. When you forever view someone as a teenage boy, it's pretty difficult to look at them as anything more, let alone a 40-year-old man. Many would view something like that as a curse, feeling that an actor would want to be known for more than just one thing for their career. However, you have to look at the flip side to that debate, and think of the countless actors that aren't blessed enough to be known for anything at all. A one-hit wonder is much better than a no-hit wonder, after all.
