I had a scan around for a thread on this, couldn't find one apart from the game thread I started ages ago.


Just watching Demolition Man... and spotted Jack Back in the extras!!!!!!
He's not even credited :D

He was also in Waterworld as the pilot...

So... any others you've spotted in minor/uncredited/unknown roles?
Cameos as extras that nobody else spotted?


Another I can think of is Heather Graham uncredited in Twins (1988) playing the young version of Mrs Benedict.

Ooh... another one is Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in the baseball crowd in Field Of Dreams but I cannot for the life of me find a picture or clip of it.

Speaking of Ben Affleck - there's him and several other "stars" before they were famous in Dazed and Confused (1993).

Baby Jack Nicholson looks exactly like what you would imagine Baby Jack Nicholson would look like.

Nooo, what I meant was when you see a super famous actor in something as an extra, in the crowd... and they're basically just a face on screen.

Caught Spider-Man on tv a few weeks ago and realized Octavia Spencer was in it.

Watched Goodfellas a while back and was surprised to see Samuel L. Jackson when he was relatively unknown.

Speaking of Samuel L. Jackson, both he and Philip Seymour Hoffman appeared in the same episode of Law & Order in 1991

Mind Blown! Philip Seymour Hoffman is unrecognisable. I had to take a double tke for Lance Riddick as well.

A young Jack Nicholson in A Little Shop of Horrors (1960).
I remember buying the VHS from Zayre's Department Store back in the 80s, with my mom some time after the '86 release hype. The VHS jacket advertised Jack Nicholson, so we thought he was the main character. I was 11, or so depending on when exactly we bought it. I miss Zayre. They sold C64 games and peripherals when they were fading out of other department stores.
