Coincidentally, Annie Hall was on TCM last night. It had a lot of actors in small parts who no one had ever heard of at the time, and later went on to be big stars. Sigourney Weaver, Beverley D'Angelo, Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum, and others. LINK

One that got me until I saw the movie again years later was Samuel L. Jackson in Coming to America. He played the guy that tried to hold up the restaurant. It was before he started to appear in nearly every movie ever made.

If you watch old Twilight Zone episodes, there are lots of famous actors from Capt. Kirk to Mr Spock to Roscoe P Coletrain.

Matthew McConaughey and Adrian Brody are in Angels in the Outfield.

McConaughey was Ben Williams, the outfielder who collided with Norton

Brody was Danny Hemmerling, the second baseman who was known for his glove

When I saw weird science in the mid 80s I had a feeling Robert Downey Jr would be famous.

I used to watch Flipper because the chick was hot and it was 15 year old Jessica Alba.
