Every actor starts off with smaller roles or occasionally dabbles in an indie role that doesn't get much notice. What are some of your favorite big name actor in a role for a lesser known film? Has this role come to notice recently or is it a well-kept secret he was in this film?

Ditto to both, as well as Hardy having a small role in Black Hawk Down.
Had no clue that William Hurt and Raul Julia were in Kiss of the Spider Woman. Ya Hurt won Best Actor, and it's a very critically-acclaimed movie, but had no clue that it existed till I walked through the Fort Benning main post library looking for some DVDs for a weekend at the barracks.
Blew my mind that "Larry Fishburne" (I believe that's how his name appears in the credits) was in Apocalypse Now as well. Didn't know about the MASH appearance though.

I just wonder if it was only baseball they interfered with. Was there maybe a badminton player out there who suddenly just had a winning streak?
