The dude that steals the idol from Indy in the temple at the beginning - I didn't know that was Alfred Molina.
Big Lebowski
The nihilist girl who sacrificed her toe - I didn't know that was singer Aimee Mann.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: The guy who meets Indy at the airport at the beginning of the movie is Dan Aykroyd (sp)
and if I hadn't heard prior to seeing it, I never would have known, the man who had no face in Hannibal was Gary Oldman

I'm surprised that almost 100% of what made it into A.I. really were Kubrick's ideas, and not Spielberg's.

I was sitting there watching and hey that sorta looks like her, nah.... she's got no lines in the film. Watching the credits, wow, it was her.

I remember seeing License to Drive when it first came out on video, thinking that the tanned, brown-haired teenage chick was so hot.
Had no idea that the pale,blonde hot teenage chick in Boogie Nights was the same girl.

This one was brief, but I didn't recognize John Ritter in Sling Blade for the 1st scene or 2 he was in.

All through "Ladder 49" I kept thinking that the actress who played Joaquin Phoenix's wife looked SO familiar, but I couldn't think of any other movies I'd seen her in.
When I got home I looked it up on IMDB and turns out she is Jacinda, from The Real World: London. I was a big fan of the show* and I especially liked that season. But it had been ten years and didn't make the connection.
*This was back when The Real World was still watchable.

I've always known Kevin Peter Hall was the man inside the suits of Predator and Harry and the Hendersons, but before either of those, he was the Gorvil that Tom Hanks hallucinates in the made-for-TV movie Mazes and Monsters. I just watched this again recently for the first time in a loooooong time, and was surprised to see his name in the credits. I was like "wow, I never knew that".
