The horror genre has gotten many future blockbuster actors their starts, as was the case with a young Henry Cavill, who appeared in 2005's eighth Hellraiser film, Hellworld.

Two years before he won his star-making role on The Tudors, Cavill showed up in the risible direct-to-video sequel as ill-fated horndog Mike, who as a result of his sexual pursuits ends up impaled on a giant hook by one of the Cenobites.

Cavill was in his early '20s at the time and just starting out his career, though curiously enough this was also around the same time that Cavill was in consideration to take over the role of James Bond in Casino Royale.

Despite being director Martin Campbell's top pick, however, he was understandably deemed too young for the part. Thankfully things worked out for Henry regardless, though, and he quickly escaped the direct-to-video dungeon.
