Re: Actors who are unrecognizable in some movies?
Today I saw a trailer for an upcoming movie (that I unfortunately don't remember the title of) that stars Channing Tatum and Steven Carrell. Some sports-related movie based on real events.
I didn't know it was Carrell until his name appeared. The voice was familiar, but I couldn't place who it was. He is absolutely unrecognizable.

I know he's not in the movie as himself but Bradley Cooper in Guardians of the Galaxy. His voice as Rocket just sounds so different from his natural speaking voice.

Edmond O'Brien in THE WILD BUNCH (1969):
When I first saw the movie it took me a while to figure out who this old coot was. (O'Brien was only 52 when he made this.) Just three years earlier I'd seen O'Brien in FANTASTIC VOYAGE (1966) and he looked like this:

For someone else in that movie, I can never recognize Vera Miles in anything I've seen her in besides TMWSLV and The Searchers, and I've tried.
Much was made at the time about the unrecognizeability of Albert Finney in Murder on the Orient Express.

Starting with V for Vendetta, I can always tell it's Natalie Portman. There are a number of roles before that where she looks quite different.

Grover (from Sesame Street) in The Empire Strikes Back.
Jimmie Walker as Windshield Wiper Man in Airplane!. According to the DVD commentary, Paramount wanted a comic actor in the movie. But the point of having recognizable, dramatic stars was they would play it straight/deadpan. Walker didn't have any lines and was too far away from the camera to recognize him (for me, at least).
