10 Stars Who Featured In Horror Movies Before They Were Famous
4. Jennifer Aniston – The Leprechaun (1993)
Jennifer Aniston began her career in the world of horror, starring in her first film Leprechaun in 1993, a year before Friends began.
As teenager Tory O’Grady, she went up against Warwick Davis, playing the titular character intent on retrieving his stolen gold after he is accidentally released from his prison in the basement of her new house.
Aniston was excited at the time to get the role acting with Davis, as he had recently become a star due to Willow. She has since admitted she is embarrassed about the film but realises it did help to launch her career.
The film spawned five sequels, all straight to video after the failure of the second film at the box office. The sequels included one in space and two in ‘the hood’ where you can witness the interesting spectacle of Leprechaun rapping! Aniston was not involved in person in any further films in the series, although she did feature as a voiceover in the reboot in 2019 with the Leprechaun disturbingly impersonating her to her daughter.
