7. Nicolas Cage - Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Now completely and utterly famous for both stealing the Declaration of Independence and taking on every single movie role he is offered, regardless of the quality of the script, Nicolas Cage once appeared as a quiet extra with mere seconds of screen time in incredible eighties classic Fast Times At Ridgemont High - a film which is as good today as it was when it was released and everyone should see at least once in their lives. If not only because of Phoebe Cates. Alongside a star cast of Phoebe Cates, Sean Penn, Judge Reinhold, Robert Romanus and Jennifer Jason Leigh, poor Nicolas Cage barely stood a chance of standing out. What makes the situation entirely worse is that you can hardly tell it's even him flipping burgers in the back of a cheap independent burger joint. In the script his character is only named "Brad's Bud" and that's really all that he is in terms of character arc. As an interesting aside, Nicolas Cage's middle name is Kim. We wonder which film he'd rather forget, his minuscule appearance in cinematic history maker Fast Times At Ridgemont High, or the fact that he made Ghost Rider when he really, really shouldn't have.
