Matthew McConaughey is another one of those actors that you know the movie is going to be good just based on the fact that he is in it. He chooses his roles carefully and up to this point in his career, the decisions that he has made in that regard have been fantastic. But before he had the opportunity to choose those roles, he had to pay the bills.

When he was living in Australia and had to pay the rent, it was time to find a job. He was lucky enough to land a gig cleaning out chicken cages. To be more specific he did his job with a shovel and it was used to remove the manure from the cages. He once said “Those types of trips are really ones that leave a lasting impression,” about the experience.

When he was finished with that he went on to make some great movies like A Time to Kill, The Wedding Planner, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Failure to Launch, Fool’s Gold, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Magic Mike, The Wolf of Wall Street and Dallas Buyers Club. He also played a tremendous role portraying Jack Lengyel in the movie We Are Marshall.
