Like many actors, this fresh-faced kid got his start in Hollywood by appearing in commercials. According to Backstage, Reeves starred in a 1986 Corn Flakes commercial where he got to show off a few of his dance moves (via YouTube). At the same time, he appeared in a few TV movies like 1986's Babes in Toyland, alongside a young Drew Barrymore (via SYFY WIRE).
His big breakout role was as Ted in 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, which led to a sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, in 1991. The '90s were when Reeves really took off, appearing in movies like Speed, A Walk in the Clouds, and The Matrix (via IMDb). Despite being one of the biggest A-list celebrities, with a career spanning nearly four decades, fame has not changed Keanu Reeves, the person. As noted by Insider, Reeves is known as being one of the nicest guys in Hollywood.
Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer even told a story about how Reeves saved her once when she first moved to Los Angeles by helping to push her car to the side of the road when it broke down (via Hollywood).
Keanu Reeves' appearance may have changed over the years, but, more importantly, he is the same great guy on the inside.
