Is there anyone out there that can help me.....??? Have any of you seen an appearance by a young star before they made it big in any of these movies?? I'm sure somewhere there's a young Johnny Depp or Winona Ryder making an appearance, or someone similar. Please e-mail me if you remember spotting a young star in the making!
We could just post them here; you can look the thread up anytime. You can even bookmark it. You can also check out Liz's List of "Skeletons" (http://twtd.bluemountains.net.au/Rick/liz_skeletons.htm) over at "And You Call Yourself A Mad Scientist!"
Jennifer Anniston was in "Leprechaun."
If you ever meet Kevin Costner, question him about Sizzle Beach, USA http://us.imdb.com/Title?0072173 . He probably won't be pleased.

Tom Hanks, Mazes & Monsters
Marisa Tomei was an extra in The Toxic Avenger
Charlize Theron was an extra in Children of the Corn III
Denise Richards in "Tammy and The T-Rex"
Cuba Gooding Jr. is in the barbers seat for one scene in COMING TO AMERICA. He was mugging it up even back then.
Clint Eastwood as a geeky lab assistant in Revenge of the Creature
Robert Downy Jr. appeared as a child in Greaser's Palace (directed by his father)
And yes, Johnny Depp was in A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Which is actually nothing to be embarassed about.

Crispin Glover was in FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER.
Tom Hanks - He Knows You're Alone.
Charles Bronson - House of Wax
Brad Pitt - Cutting Class
Jack Palance & Martin Landau - Without Warning & Alone in the Dark
Helen Hunt - Trancers
Arnold Scharzenegger - The Villain & Hercules in New York
Jack Nicholson - The Terror & The Raven
Paul Newman - The Blob
Candy Clark - The Man Who Fell to Earth
Both Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConnaghey (or however it is written) starred in Texas Chainsaw Masacre IV (or V, I only remember it was hellish).
Others have already mentioned Brad Pitt and Clint Eastwood.
Oh, and Christian Slater and Winona Rider were on "Heathers", a truly weird film.
Jack Nicholson was also in Corman's original "Little Shop of Horrors" as the crazy guy at the dentist's office. (a highlight of the movie in my opinion.)
I saw remember Samuel Jackson in an episode of "Law and Order," not really embarrassing, but interesting giving his later work.
David Schwimmer is in a children of the corn movie....as a woman for some reason.
MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY was in "My boyfriends back" (as guy#3 or something, he had one line in a movie theater scene)
JOAQUIN PHOENIX was in "spacecamp" with Kelly Preston. Yeah, i had to mention that. At least he got rid of his speach impediment. He used to talk like Sylvester in the Loony Toons
COURTNEY COX was in "Masters of the Universe"
GEORGE CLOONEY the obvious "Return of the killer tomatoes BUT, he was also in a little film called "Return to Horror High"
JULIANNE MOORE was in "Slaughterhouse 2"
LEA THOMPSON - Jaws 3-D and Howard the Duck.
KEVIN BACON - Friday the 13th
JIM CARREY - Once Bitten, and "Earth Girls are Easy"
MEG RYAN - Amityville 3-D
SYLVESTER STALLONE - had a bit role as a subway thug who wanted to beat up Woody Allen in "Bananas"
oh and almost forgot to add this one:
BILLY BOB THORNTON - Chopper Chicks in Zombietown
Of course, the classic pre-star Stallone role would have to be that of Machine Gun Joe Viterbo in Death Race 2000. Classic, classic stuff.
of course, another pre-star Stallone role would have to be that of Stud in the porn film
"Party at Kitty and Stud's." Of course, six years later, when he came to fame as Rocky in "Rocky," the name of the film was changed to "The Italian Stallion." Enjoy!
Oops!!
Paul Newman wasn't in "The Blob", his first foray into cinema (from the stage into film) was the wonderful wonderful film "The Chalice", which, in Paul Newman's own words, is "The worst film ever made!! . . .". See it!! See it!!
Steve McQueen starred in "The Blob" . . .

You're right, I should have checked. The only two names that came to mind were Pual Newman & Robert Redford and I knew it wasn't Redford...
