Line 458:
* Don Stark aka [[That '70s Show|Bob Pinciotti]] appeared as holographic gangster Nicky the Nose in ''[[Star Trek: First Contact]]''.
** He also had a role in ''[[Santa with Muscles]]''.
* Before making a name for himself as a leading man with ''[[The Transporter]]'' films, [[Jason Statham]] appears as a secondary character in John Carpenter's ''[[Ghosts of Mars
* [[Kristen Stewart]] in ''[[Panic Room]]''. Weird to look back on it years later, since she was 10 when the movie was made.
** She also shows up at the very end of ''[[Jumper (novel)|Jumper]]'', as the protagonist's half-sister.
Line 467:
* [[Patrick Stewart]] appeared in the BBC educational show ''Playing Shakespeare'' in the 1970s before becoming [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Captain Jean-Luc Picard]].
** He was Leondegrance in ''[[Excalibur (film)|Excalibur]]''. Said film also had [[Liam Neeson]] (Gawain), Helen Mirren (Morgana), and Gabriel Byrne (Uther Pendragon).
** He also played Gurney Halleck in ''[[Dune (1984 film)|Dune]]''.
** [[Poirot|David Suchet]] was in the same.
* An actor named Woodrow Strode played the King of Ethiopia in ''[[The Ten Commandments]]''. In a later scene, he doubled as a royal slave. Years later, Mr. Strode became mildly well known. This led viewers of [[Cecil B. DeMille|Mr. DeMille's]] epic to conclude that [[Wild Mass Guessing|Rameses enslaved the Ethopian king]].
* [[Poirot|David Suchet]] played the rival Arab dictator in the first ''[[Iron Eagle]]'' movie.
* Faran Tahir, prior to becoming [[Iron Man (film)|Raza]] or [[Star Trek (film)|Captain Robau]], combined this with [[You Look Familiar]] by appearing as two separate characters on ''[[24

* [[Amanda Tapping]] showed up in an episode of ''[[Due South]]'' a year before ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' aired, playing a scientist with a secret government program that was strongly implied to be tracking UFOs.
Line 479:
* Sam Trammel plays the upstanding owner of a popular bar in ''[[True Blood]]'', but way back when in the second episode of ''[[Dexter]]'' he played a drunk with a persistent hit-and-run problem. {{spoiler|He didn't last long}}.
* [[John Travolta]]'s first role was in the horror movie ''The Devil's Rain''. He yells "Blasphemer!" and falls down the stairs, and the protagonists see the flashback inside his eyes.
** Many young people in the 21st century would be surprised to see him in reruns of ''[[Welcome Back, Kotter]]''.
** And after that, playing [[Delinquents|Billy]], [[Alpha Bitch|Chris]]' [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|boyfriend]] in ''[[Carrie]]''.
* A young [[Keith Urban]] appears in the 1992 video for [[Alan Jackson]]'s "Mercury Blues". Most Americans probably didn't recognize Urban's face until 1999.
