Stamos starred in Full House.  He hasn't earned the right to be embarrassed by any movie role.

Touché.

     Jeff Goldblum was also in DEATH WISH.

Yep, he was... and if memory serves, his one line is something like "Don't jive, mother! You know what we want!"
"If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

Dennis Hopper and John Saxon were in Queen of Blood (1966) It's quite bad, but I really like it.

Jeff Goldblum, Beverly D'Angelo, Jerry Orbach and Christopher Walken all had bit parts in THE SENTINEL. 



Just saw PROMETHEUS and Sean Harris could be going places.  He was really good in what was kind of a throwaway role. 
Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chance opts between two worlds
Fire walk with me

     Teri Garr's first speaking role was in HEAD.

     Laura Branigan started off as an actress, in the exploitation film MUGSY'S GIRLS.

     
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

Despite "making it" and being a quite talented actor Dennis Hopper was in some of the most notoriously bad films ever. Examples:
Super Mario Bros
Waterworld
Meet The Deedles -didnt watch this but looks abysmal.
Hell Ride

There are more but a look at Hoppers filmography shows him to drift between the great and b movie fare throughougt his career,

Look, I'm not a fan of Full House either, but like it not the show was a hit. I seriously doubt that Stamos is embarrassed by a show that made him a star.
