Fans will likely best remember John Stamos for his role as Uncle Jesse on the hit sitcom "Full House," and he also reprised that role for the Netflix sequel series "Fuller House" decades later. In addition to his "Full House" fame, Stamos has appeared on television shows such as "Glee," "You," "Big Shot," "Grandfathered," and "Scream Queens" to name a select few (via TV Guide).
As well as his TV career, Stamos has appeared in a number of commercials and movies throughout the years. The actor, who is also known for his musical abilities (via Feeling The Vibe), can be seen in films such as "Wedding Wars," "Sealed with a Kiss," "Secrets of Eden," "Born To Ride," "Never Too Young To Die," and "Captive" (via IMDb). Though he's been largely successful over the last few decades, Stamos first captured the attention of fans early in his career. He was hired to portray the character of Blackie Parrish on ABC's hit soap opera, "General Hospital," as his first major role.
It was this initial acting gig in 1982 that allowed him to show off his acting chops (per TV Insider). Stamos was then able to establish a steady stream of acting credits following his appearance in the popular soap opera.
