10 More Huge Actors You Didn’t Notice As Extras In Movies

10. Jack Black - Demolition Man

If you're a fan of '90s action movies, there's a good chance you've seen the Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes-starring sci-fi actioner Demolition Man at least a couple-dozen times.

Despite this, you've probably never noticed that a future comedy A-lister shows up late in the movie for just a single, solitary scene.

In one of his very first acting roles, a 23-year-old Jack Black appears as "Wasteland Scrap #2," in the scene where protagonist John Spartan (Stallone) heads underground to meet resistance leader Edgar Friendly (Denis Leary).

As one of Friendly's underlings, Black stands to the right of Denis Leary throughout the scene, but because Leary blocks Black's face from view in almost every shot, there's only a small window of time to spot Black wordlessly hanging out.

He gets one blink-and-you'll-miss-it close-up and that's about it, enough that even hardcore fans of Demolition Man still have no earthly idea that future comedy royalty is a day-player in this scene.

Look down at your phone for even a few seconds, and you've got no chance of catching it.
