Job: Respiratory therapist
Prior to playing in Slayer, Tom Araya worked as a respiratory therapist at a hospital in the pulmonary department, and was actually working in the ER on the day Michael Jackson burned his head on the infamous Pepsi commercial set. As for whether he'll ever return to medicine? Don't hold your breath. (Sorry, we had to.)
