John Rhys-Davies is his name. Played supporting characters in lots of movies. But I probably watched Fellowship ten times (six in theaters, I do remember that), and I didn't really recognize him till The Two Towers. You can't blame me. Gimli is just hair and armor.

first thing that came to me was donnie wahlberg in The Sixth Sense.
When i saw his name in the credits, I was like "what part did he play?" had to watch it again to recognize him.

I didn't realize the first time I saw it that Bob Odenkirk was 'Porno Gil' in Curb Your Enthusiasm (Ep. 103), my favorite episode.
I also didn't catch David Cross in the Cable Guy the first time around.

I didn't recognize Bruce Spence in several movies...
Episode III
LOTR:ROTK
Matrix Revolutions
Dark City
Then later I learn about it and I'm like "woah, the dude from the Mad Max movies!"

When Dirty Harry's last movie The Dead Zone came to DVD, I noticed for the first time that the rock star lipsynching in the Welcome to the Jungle music video was none other than Jim Carrey.
Kind of ruins that whole scene now since you can't take it seriously, and it sort of hurts the movie a bit as well. Was Axel Rose unavailable?

(I actually like Jim Carrey's part in the movie - he's very obviously spoofing rock stars' typically cheesy histrionics when performing).

Ethel in the "Its a Good Life" segment of Twilight Zone: the Movie was none other than Nancy Cartwright, voice of Bart Simpson.
Pia Zadora was one of the martian kids in "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians."

Many people didn't recognize Sam Jackson in Jurassic Park.
