There's a bald actor that has just received an Oscar nomination and his name is Jackie Earl Haley. When I first saw this on TV, I was thinking "where do I know that name from?" Just then the TV answered my question - he was Kelly Leak in the Bad News Bears.
Jackie had a really good run at acting as a child star and then slowly faded out of Hollywood and ended up starting his own production company - JEH Productions (http://www.jehproductions.com).
Though, in 2006, Jackie made a comeback to Hollywood, and did it in style - sly style!! He was in two movies, All the Kings Men and Little Children. His Oscar nomination is for his role in Little Children as Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role.
Way to go Jackie! It's great to see another bald guy become successful in Hollywood!

that's cool.
tough to imagine Kelly Leak smoking a cigar (he was always a Marlboro Red "kid"). -

That rocks! More bald men. He did a lot of TV work and to get an Oscar nomination so quick on the big screen.
