Check out "The List of Adrian Messenger". All parts are played by MAJOR hollywood stars in disguise and you don't know who's who. At the end it is revealed which star was which character. Haven't seen it in years. I remember Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster are two of them.

Jack Black was also the pilot in Waterworld, though it's easy to miss because his face is covered in soot.

if i hadn't heard the dvd commentary i would've never known that the nurse in the 'spa' was Andy Dick

when i was in the theater watching The Day After Tomorrow, i knew i had seen the Asian actress(Janet in the movie i think) somewhere else, like an hour later i remembered and automatically screamed "the girl in Karate Kid 2!"

Wow, you learn something new everyday. DIdn't know that one and I've seen WW many a time. Jack Black is in a lot of movies I've seen but don't recall him in...apparently he's in Demolition Man too...

Back when I saw Goodfellas on DVD for the first time since seeing it in the theater, I was surprised to see that Stacks - the black guy who gets whacked for not dumping a truck used in a robbery - was played by Samuel L. Jackson.

(And he has a a lot of other "I didn't know he was in that" roles in the decade before Pulp Fiction made him a household name.)

And don't forget Near Dark, which she co-starred in with her Aliens buddies Bill Paxton and Lance Henricksen.

Ioan Gruffudd, now in theaters in The Fantastic Four, was one of the crewmen in Titanic. He was in the lifeboat that looked for survivors. ("Come ABOUT!")

In Coming to America, one of the barbershop scenes has Cuba Gooding Jr. sitting quietly in the barber's chair.

Back when I saw Brubaker and Street Smart, I just couldn't get over the fact that Easy Reader was there! Of course, he's long since eclipsed that role in my memory.

I didn't realize that Chris Pontius from Wildboyz (Mtv) was in Charlie's Angels:Full Throttle.

He was one of the Irish henchmen in the "pussycat dolls" revue that the angels did. I remember it was driving me crazy that the guy looked so familiar, I had to imdb when I got home.

Shit! Joaquin was even ugly as a kid. Even Brian Peppers, the Zombie Sex offender, had a slight childhood cuteness in his old pictures.

I was just about to post that! I was watching this movie a couple weekends ago and recognized her.

I was also going to mention Phoenix in Space Camp.

Also, Elijah Wood is in Back to the Future 2 for a couple seconds in Cafe 80's.

Gary Oldman as O.W. Grant in Interstate 60.

For the love of God, all of you here should buy and watch that movie!

Gary Oldman is in a ton of movies where I didn't know it was him when I first saw it. He's one of the best character actors today, as well as one of the best actors period.

Went back and watched Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2.

In the first one, the waiter that gives Eddie Murphy the bananas to put in the cops tail pipe is Damon Wayans.

In the second, the parking attendant at Hugh Heffner's mansion is Chris Rock.
