The Movie: Empire of the Sun (1987)

Who He Played: The guy who asks Jim, "Hey kid, would you like a Hershey bar?"

Why You Forgot: Everybody's known who Ben Stiller is since he hit it big back in the '90s, but no one batted an eye back in 1987 when he made his first feature film appearance alongside a young Christian Bale. His moment is quick, but easily buried under the career that followed, which will surely continue to make it all the more enjoyable for those who see Spielberg's first foray into wartime drama for the first time in years to come to stumble across him.
