10 Actors You Probably Forgot Were In Sci-Fi Movies

10. Mick Jagger - Freejack (1992)

Mick Jagger knows how to command a stage. He’s been doing so as frontman of The Rolling Stones for over five decades.

In interviews and music videos over the years, Jagger has shown himself to be a charismatic and constantly engaging figure.

So quite what possessed director Geoff Murphy to cast him as a ruthless and battle-hardened mercenary in the cult sci-fi movie Freejack, is anyone’s guess.

Jagger plays Victor Vacendak, a gun-for-hire working for a faceless corporation which is, for reasons too convoluted to explain, attempting to apprehend Formula One racing star Alex Furlong (Emilio Estevez) so his mind can be replaced by that of a dead billionaire.

While the presence of Anthony Hopkins adds a little dramatic weight to proceedings, the sight of Jagger attempting to look tough and deadly serious at every turn is jarring to say the least.

It remains Mick’s first and so far only foray into the world of sci-fi storytelling.
