8 Huge Actors You Didn’t Notice As Extras In TV Shows

6. Leonardo DiCaprio - Rosanne

It's a little tough for those in the younger generation to imagine Leonardo DiCaprio as anything but the big, shouty, leading man he is today. But everyone's got to start somewhere, and DiCaprio found himself some pretty interesting roles way before he started chewing on Gilbert's Grape.

The future Oscar winner scored a hunk of minor, non-speaking parts when he was but a little seedling in the acting world, with one of his most notable being the classic 90s comedy hit Rosanne. Yes, you can spot the young Jack Dawson in the background of a scene from the episode "Home-Ec", playing one of Darlene's classmates.

It's a well-known fact that the bonafide Hollywood star only takes top billing now, with exceptions to that rule being about as rare as a bad Quentin Tarantino movie. That's what makes it all the more amusing to look back on this sitcom and see him playing a role that he didn't even receive credit for.

This extra role might not have been the most glamorous, but at least he was free from being torn apart by bears.
