10 Famous Uncredited Roles You May Not Have Noticed

1. Harrison Ford - ET

At number one is an entry you'd be forgiven for refusing to believe. How could anybody miss Harrison Ford, the internationally recognised star of Indiana Jones and Star Wars, in such a classic as E.T.? But while it is difficult to locate, the scene definitely does exist, featuring Ford as the headmaster of young hero Elliott's school. In the scene it's only possible to see a dark silhouette, but Ford's voice is unmistakably recognisable as he reprimands the protagonist about his behaviour in a science lesson and accuses him of underage drinking.

Ultimately Spielberg cut the scene as he wanted to avoid having any appearances from adults (aside from Elliott's mother) in the film until the very end, but in 2002, he released an extended version of the film including scenes that, in 1982, had not worked visually for the director and so were remodelled using updated special effects. The Ford scene was still left out as the director felt that it would reshape the film too drastically.

As such, the only known legitimate appearance of the scene (so, not including YouTube) is on the E.T. Laserdisc boxset from the 90s, for anyone who wants the challenge to hunt it down.
