He'll always be (blank) to me

Funny how the mind works. A few recent posts got me thinking about just when the slasher craze started dying out. I got to thinking about Wes Craven's Shocker, and that made me think of a totally different topic.

Name an actor you always associate with a cheesy early role, even after they've moved on to bigger things.

The inspiration for this question was Mitch Pileggi. Through the entire run of the X-Files, I always thought of him as Horace Pinker.

Michael Pataki...he'll always be a loathsome piece of crap like his characters in Sidehackers and The Glove to me.  Pataki?  Patooey (that's a spitting noise, like I spit at the very mention of his name, get it?)!

David Packer was the Hitler youth in the "V" miniseries - even as a kid, I loathed his very existence and I was psyched when he was eaten by the visitors (off camera, of course).

While collecting my Sega CD's, I came across a game starring him, Corey Haim, Deborah Harry and R. Lee Emery. I guess he didn't move onto bigger and better things after all...

Anyone who was ever on Twin Peaks (including the now-bigshots, like Lara Flynn Boyle and Heather Graham).
