Just noticed that the guy that plays Jamie Lannister is in Black Hawk Down.

I'm also thinking Bryan Cranston in Saving Private Ryan.

Anybody have any "woah" moments when watching a movie when you realize that an actor was in it before they were really popular.

I think Charlize Theron was an extra in one of the Children of the Corn movies.

Very true, talk about a deep cast. Bane from Batman, Orlando Bloom, Ewan MacGregor.

I watched "All the Right Moves" (1983) last night and noticed Terry O'Quinn (John Locke from Lost)played a very small part of a college recruiter. According to Wikipedia that was only his 3rd movie appearance. Pretty cool to see I guess.

I actually just bumped that thread last night. It's probably on page 2 or 3.

Eta: Nvm. It's still on the front page.

I've got one for you. How about a future Academy Award winner (Kate Winslett) and the current James Bond appearing in a film starring the kid from Rookie of the Year.

First time I remember seeing him on screen is when he played Buzz Aldrin in the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon. All the way back in the spring of 1998.

Did you know that Tim Whatley was also the name of the political consultant funded by the Moch Brothers in "The Campaign"?
