Well-known movies that famous people were in when they weren't famous

[troymclur]

Laurence Fishbourne "Apocalypse Now!"

[troymclur]

Ben Affleck in "The Voyage of The Mimi". Not a movie, but it was a very well known (in Grade School circles) Documentary featuring a very very young Ben Affleck.

Jesus, both of these are already mentioned. You guys are too fast!

Harrison Ford in Apocalypse Now.

I feel this is my responsibility since I bumped.

Open the whole thread w/ 'show all', click ctrl+F and search for your addition (either by actor name or movie) to see if it has already been posted before you post.

I was going to chime in that Ford did American Graffiti long before Apocolypse Now, but I searched and found that it also had already been stated.

Well, it has been like six months...

I heard like 6 months ago that Samuel L. Jackson was in Goodfellas. I wonder if it is still true?

Jeebus there are some horrendous replies in this thread. In particular, whoever said Charlie Sheen from Ferris Bueller should be taken out and shot.

Some others I've thought of:

Danny Gans, who is now a headline performer at the Mirage, was one of the random ballplayers in Bull Durham.

Hilary Swank is one of the random high schoolers in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Jeremy Piven's real WTF moment is in Say Anything... he plays the guy who tackles John Cusack to try to get his keys back. He's also among the guys at the Gas-n-Sip trying to cheer Lloyd up.

Robert Downey Jr. has about two lines in an obscure thriller called First Born with Teri Garr, and he's also one of the jerk boyfriends in Weird Science.

Super-mega obscure reference: I believe Martin Lawrence is the black guy who gets off the bus in the SNL skit where Eddie Murphy makes himself up as a white guy.

If anyone else says Harrison Ford in Apocalypse Now, I will have to get violent.

I don't think anyone knew who paul giamatti was when he played a small part in Donnie Brasco. I was a bit suprised to see him.

also, here's a fun one for the old western fans. Lee Van Cleef was one of Frank Miller's guns waiting for him at the train station in "High Noon"

wow, so many people suck at this game its not even funny. But you sir are the poop in the toilet. To say matthew mcconnaughey in Dazed and Confused is basically like pointing at yourself and saying ur a fukcing retard. You might have well have not posted because this is the worst post I have ever seen on 2p2. I have read thousands and thousands of post, and I can easily say that posting that matthew mcconnaughey being in Dazed and Confused as a unknown acter in a known movie is easily the dumbest thing I have ever read in my life. He clearly makes the movie. Did you not understand the game the OP had started? Have you even ever seen Dazed and Confused? Because I can not think of matthew mcconnaughey without thinking about the line " That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age. "

maybe you dont understand that the game OP is trying to play is for you to name a movie a known acter is in and nobody else knows so they think WTF no he isnt in that movie. BUT EVERYONE KNOWS MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY IS IN DAZED AND CONFUSED.

I mean do you have a [censored] brain man, because it'd be alot cooler if you did.
