Yeah, I knew that about Rick Shroeder, but I think the thing that makes it interesting is that I think this was after he had taken a number of years off, so he's in a bit part here and there, but you don't really notice it (well, until he went on NYPD Blue).

It's amazing how talented that cast was.

Epic response. My favorite thing about that movie is that everybody wore the same clothes for the whole movie. I haven't seen it in years, but I guess it all took place over the course of one day. That was a truly incredible day. Best movie in the world.

A once promising recruit that spazzes out at Rudy for going all out in practice.

Seth Green in Can't Buy Me Love.

I just like bringing up that movie so I can bring up Amanda Peterson...

Seth Green also the young Woody Allen in Radio Days.

Young? He was already into semi-retirement from starring roles. He'd already made Bananas, Take the Money and Run and Sleeper.

Drew Barrymore in ET.

Also if you are a MSR2K fan, you might remember a black and white horror movie that starred Nicolas Cage using another name. Wish I could remember the flics title.

Ribisi also played Nicole's boyfriend on My Two Dads. At the time, he was "Vonni Ribisi".

Julio Riddols · 05-13-2009, 07:50 AM

The "Shoooosh" antagonist from "Encino Man" had a bit part in Lost in season 1.. I haven't seen the rest of the seasons of the show yet, but I laughed my ass off after seeing him on there.

Not sure that qualifies at all though. I'm just wasting time.

He was also one of the control room guys in Jurassic Park. Samuel Jackson is one of those guys that definitely paid his dues.

Then Ribisi must have been in The Wonder Years before that. David Schwimmer was also in that before he got big. And John Corbett.

We can't forget Jason Alexander in Brighton Beach Memoirs as the Pool Shark who hustles Stanley out of his pay check. (Somebody can insert his now famous McDLT commericial in here)

Speaking of the Facts of Life...

Donald Gibb... A.K.A 'Fred "The Ogre" Palowakski', was in that show 3 years after "Revenge of the Nerds", but a year before "Bloodsport" with JCVD.

Guys, the Outsiders was billed as an all-star cast of young talent. It had huge hype and they listed the actors names during the commercials.

ColtCrazy · 05-27-2009, 05:51 AM

Jack Black was a weapons dealer in the Jackal remake. Bruce Willis uses him as target practice.

I pointed out one to my wife. The woman that plays Calli on Grey's Anatomy is a check out girl in You've Got Mail.

Seth Green was also in an episode of 90210. He went on a double date with Brenda and Kelly.

Earth Girls Are Easy gave us the first pairing of two of the stars of In Living Color, Daymon Wayans and Jim Carrey.

And speaking of In Living Color, Toys, starring Robin Williams, gave us the first movie look at Jamie Foxx.

Harrison Ford was an Army executive officer in Apocalypse Now.

Dazed and Confused had a bunch of familiar faces (Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck come to mind immediately) during the early phases of their careers.

I remember him from Roseanne. For a guy who wasn't a big name back then, he was in a ton of shit.

If anyone has seen the movie Gacy, Chubby from Teen Wolf is the guy who played him.
