9 Actors You Didn’t Know Were In Movies

5. Jack Black In I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

Upon rewatching I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, it's strange enough to realise that Re-Animator's Jeffrey Combs has a supporting role as a receptionist at the hotel our protagonists find themselves staying at in the Bahamas.

Going one further when thinking back to that film, there's a good chance that casual moviegoers will have completely missed Jack Black in that picture.

Sure, in the subsequent years since that movie's 1998 release, the role of an overly enthusiastic, slightly inappropriate party dude seems right in the ballpark of Black. But if you took a consensus from film fans, it would only be a small minority who would have any idea that the Tenacious D star was in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

In that sequel offering, Black played a weed dealer who was, yes, overly enthusiastic and, yes, slightly inappropriate. And as is so often the case for such characters in horror movies, Jack Black's uncredited character of Titus Telesco ended up brutally butchered by the nefarious hook-wielding 'big bad' of the Last Summer franchise.
