There were some gems in that miniseries that went on to have great careers. Just a few off the top of my head:

Michael Fassbender
James McAvoy
Tom Hardy
Simon Pegg
Damian Lewis
Colin Hanks
Dominic Cooper

Simon Pegg shocked me. I can't remember him.

BoB had an excellent cast. They used a lot of not well-known British actors at the time.

Black Hawk Down is another one where you look at the cast list and are kind of shocked at how many very good actors were in it.

I died a little inside when I realized Damian Lewis has a thick British accent

I second Jimmy Fallon. No way he goes on to the tonight show without that riveting performance of "jeep driver"

I'd say his career was pretty solid before BoB.
