12 Embarrassing Early Film Roles Actors Need You To Forget

9. Courtney Cox - Masters Of The Universe

Warner Bros.Warner Bros.Courtney Cox is the second of the Friends girls to make an appearance on this list, and to give away the secret, we're afraid Lisa Kudrow does not appear at all (she will be mortified to hear, we're certain.) Cox's appearance in Masters Of The Universe surely can't be one of her proudest moments but it's certainly a good film if you're a fan of rubbish eighties adaptations of beloved cartoons and toys. Masters Of The Universe, based around the He-Man vs Skeletor Masters Of The Universe that we all know and love, was released in 1987 to critical apathy. To this day, fond memories haven't helped raise the films profile as its Rotten Tomatoes score is still only a paltry 18%. Here is a choice encounter towards the end of the film, that really shows how far the writers were willing to go with the material... "Sorceress: Julie, keep this with you, and Eternia will always be near. Julie Winston: Thank you. He-Man, Teela, Man-At-Arms... Teela: Don't say goodbye. Say Good Journey. Duncan: It is an old Eternian saying. Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another. Julie Winston: Good Journey." We're so glad the journey turned out to be turning into a good actor on a good tv show. Was anyone else always annoyed that Man-At-Arms never had a name?
