Paul Newman played Occasional Castmember on the 1949 sitcom The Aldrich Family

According to IMDb, Paul Newman's first credit was Occasional Cast Member on the sitcom "The Aldrich Family," which ran on NBC from 1949 to 1953. The series was based on the popular radio show of the same name and followed an American middle-class family living on Elm Street in Centerville. The main focus of the program revolved around the antics and adventures of Henry Aldrich, a teenager in high school. Newman was featured on the program in 1952 and 1953. In 1954, the actor would make the jump to the big screen in "The Silver Chalice," as pictured above, and the rest is some pretty impressive history.

His humble beginnings led to a very impactful run both inside and outside of the entertainment industry. His contributions to the world of cinema earned him the coveted Cecil B. DeMille Award, and his charitable endeavors allowed him to become the recipient of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. His intriguing journey is brilliantly on display in the critically acclaimed first season of the docu-series "The Last Movie Stars" (via Rotten Tomatoes), which features eye-opening insights into his personal life and an in-depth look at his journey. Despite his struggles and flaws, he was able to reach heights of stardom most only dream about, and it's safe to say there will never be another Paul Newman.

In the end, Newman cultivated a rewarding career with several memorable performances, and part of it all started with a stint on "The Aldrich Family."

Paul Newman was a bastard.

Leaving the three children he had to run off from his three children for another woman. After having three children you would do this? I can't imagine being the children of him to just leave and divorce their mother for another woman. I wouldn't talk to my father again ,except he was wealthy. How disgusting. I couldnt imagine being one of the children just to have my father go away for someone else. How would I feel? How would I feel to my mother? To procreate three children and leave for someone else? That's criminal.
