In Hollywood, longevity can be tricky. But not for veteran actor Carla Gugino, a star whose film and television credits go way back to the late '80s. For this Sarasota native, achieving career longevity has been rather effortless. Perhaps, it has something to do with Gugino's ability to take on just about any role and make it her own.

Not only that, but she tends to venture toward various genres and thoroughly embrace the whole on-set experience. For Gugino, it's always been about keeping things fresh. "I tend to gravitate towards very different things to what I've done before," she even told Schön! Magazine. Perhaps, unlike others in the industry, Gugino is also one Hollywood star who likes to keep her options open. "I never know what I'm going to do until it appears in front of me; until it clicks," she added.
