I didn't realize he/she was in that

Some of us Major League snobs refuse to even acknowledge that movie existed.

 

But I just remembered my all-time favorite:

 

Donald Sutherland in Beerfest.

 

Octavia Spencer - from the help - was a loud neighbor in "SWAT" and was a nurse - maybe one line - in "A Time to Kill."

 

He and Michael Caine are among the most prominent actors least likely to turn down a paycheck, methinks.

 

Robert DeNiro would like to discuss his recent documentary about his career choices.

 

Dana Carvey had a tiny role (might have even been edited out of the final cut) in Halloween II. I remember seeing his name in the credits back when he was still on SNL and thinking, "Wait ... whuh?"

 

Say good night Bo-Bo!

 

I've come across some good ones watching the latest version of Doctor Who. A young Andrew Garfield has a terrible southern accent in what was one of his first roles. Also, one of the more critically acclaimed eps of the show has a really good performance form Carey Mulligan.

I often forget that Samuel L. Jackson was in Jurassic Park.

Zooey Deschanel in Almost Famous is another one that I often forget until I'm re-watching it.

 

Jon Favreau was also on Friends. As was Thomas Lennon.

For USA fans, Sarah Shahi and Patrick Adams were both in Old School.

 

I'm talking about prominent actors -- not comedians!
