10 Actors You Had No Idea Were In Horror Movies

8. Michelle Williams - Species

Michelle Williams may have four Oscar nominations to her name nowadays, but only her second major movie role - after Lassie - saw her appear briefly in 1995's sci-fi horror film Species, where at 15 years old she played a younger version of seductive alien antagonist Sil (Natasha Henstridge).

If you haven't seen Species in quite some time - and let's be honest, most of us haven't - it's easy to miss that she's even in it at all, despite her getting a decent chunk of screen time at the start of the movie.

Though Williams certainly does fine enough in the part, she confessed in later years that she was bullied for appearing in the film, so doesn't seem to have particularly fond memories of it.

If you're likely to remember anything about her role, though, it's surely the infamous scene where she devours a banana whole, being an alien and all.

Thankfully Williams only had to tough it out in Hollywood for a few more years before winning the coveted role of Jen Lindley in Dawson's Creek, and the rest is history.
