10 Actors You Had No Idea Were In Movies

10. Rami Malek - Battleship

Now to be completely fair here, 2012's Battleship is about as forgettable as blockbusters get - a thunderously generic sci-fi action flick, albeit one that rocks a fairly star-studded cast.

And while nobody's going to miss the likes of Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, and Rihanna front-and-center, it's pretty shocking that a future Oscar winner appears in a hilariously throwaway role you surely didn't catch.

Rami Malek, who at the time was probably best known for playing Ahkmenrah in the Night at the Museum movies, appears a few brief moments as Lieutenant Hill, a soldier caught up in the alien invasion alongside Admiral Terrance Shane (Neeson).

Malek gets a few lines but basically disappears into the scenery easily enough, and to watch him here, you'd never guess the greatness that was in store just a few years later - both winning the career-defining lead in hit TV show Mr. Robot and nabbing a Best Actor Oscar for Bohemian Rhapsody.

While few have likely bothered to revisit Battleship since it came out, for those who do, Malek's shocking presence is most certainly a "Leo pointing at the screen" moment.
