I’m nominating Robert Mitchum.

Ran away from home first at 11.

Ran away at 14 and hopped freight cars cross-country.

Expelled from school for mischief and fistfights.

Arrested for vagrancy and served on an ACTUAL chain gang.

Then escaped from the chain gang and nearly lost his leg in the process.

If not his older sister Julie Mitchum he probably would have gone nowhere fast. He moved in with her and accompanied her to her local theater group; where he caught the acting bug.
