Harrison Ford in Apocalypse Now.

I didn't read the thread so that was probably mentioned,

Yes. Try reading the thread next time.

What I was extra surprised about was that he accepted such a geeky small-time role. This was 3-4 years after Star Wars, but maybe SW was more of a cult piece and at the time he was starving for work. I dunno. Suffice it to say, him playing the role of random four-eyed gopher seemed strange to me.

Star Wars was huge in the Box Office ('77 I think) but Apocalype Now(79) apparently took 16 mos. just to shoot. I bet he was part of the project before he even started to get popular from SW.

But, Ford did play a waiter in (I think) Breakfast at Tiffany's and even had a line I believe. I'm not goint to look at IMDB to check it though.
