While the main members of the cast were launched into stardom following The Social Network's release, it took a little more time for some of the supporting actors to get their big break.

Whilst everyone remembers the likes of Eisenberg, Garfield and Hammer, you may not remember some other current big name stars who made an appearance.

Most notably Dakota Johnson, who would go on to co-lead the Fifty Shades franchise. Johnson makes one of her first acting appearances as a Stamford girl who Parker has slept with. Joe Mazzello, who starred as Tim in Jurassic Park when he was a kid, plays the lesser-known Facebook founder Dustin Moskovitz and would go onto play Queen bassist Roger Deacon in 2018's Bohemian Rhapsody.

Rashida Jones, best known as Ann Perkins in the television mockumentary Parks and Recreation, plays a member of Zuckerberg's legal counsel and Max Minghella who plays Divya Narendra, is currently starring as Nick Blaine in Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale.
