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.

No, Ford's first movie is "Dead Heat On A Merry-Go-Round" (1966). He plays a bellhop with one line, I believe. It's on TCM occasionally.

Joseph GOrdon-Leavitt(the young kid on 3rd rock from the sun and now in brick) was the young norman in a river runs through it

[DrewDevil]

Tom Cruise's first movie is Endless Love, with Brooke Shields and some nobody who never made another movie. I think he's in the background playing football or something, maybe doesn't even have a line.

I knew the "I'm a princess" girl in Beethoven, she sucks. I know that doesn't really count for this thread, just thought I would let everyone know, that girl grew up ugly and annoying.

Diablo, are you just trying to see how many 10-page threads you can start with topics that nobody would respond to if anyone else posted them?
