3. Kevin Spacey - Se7en

One of the more legendary uncredited roles shocked audiences in the mid 90s when Kevin Spacey walked into a police headquarters shouting in a blood-covered shirt.

In 1995, the year the film was released, the internet was in its infancy and outside of the most dedicated of message boards - spoilers were never an issue.

Spacey had recently come off the success of his Oscar-winning turn in The Usual Suspects, and director David Fincher was concerned his mere casting in another crime thriller would lead to audiences assuming his identity as the villain from the beginning. Fincher didn't want audiences to wait for Spacey to simply arrive but be shocked when he actually does enter the frame.
