When it comes to the movies, it's usually the actor names - written in huge letters on the posters and billboards - that convince you to hand over your cash and see what the fuss is all about. And that's what movie stars are for, isn't it? Sure, writers and directors use these people to tell their stories in the most effective way possible, but ultimately it's the presence of a truly great actor (perhaps coupled with a great marketing campaign) that's going to get you to pry open your wallet and say, "Okay, lemme watch this thing." But these big shots didn't always have the gravitas required to draw millions of people out of their homes and into the movie theatre. Back in the day, they were working to make something of themselves just like every other schmuck out there. That, of course, means that - at one point - they were reduced to playing the kind of roles that even
you might turn down (not that there's anything wrong with you, of course - you'd probably make a fine actor). Here we've assembled 10 extremely famous actors you didn't realise were hidden in movies you've already seen. Don't worry, it's not your fault that you didn't spot them: nobody else did, either...
