 Oh, wait. You said "major". ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

Some early TV shows have also been mentioned, so I'll chime in with one I recall, William Shatner in the Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. Certainly not his earliest performance, either. His filmography mentions an early role (1954) as Ranger Bob on the Canadian Howdy Doody Show. When in doubt, mumble | |||

Last week a saw Shatner in Twilight Zone - they were using a prediction machine mounted on the table in a diner to predict the future... ------------------ SBrooks | |||

The Twilight Zone reads as a Who's Who of early/pre-stardom. Just this morning I watched an episode, "He's Alive" starring Dennis Hopper. You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

The Godfather was the first big role for Al Pacino, Diane Keaton and Talia Shire. Godfather 2 really launched the career of Robert Deniro. "You know, Scotland has its own martial arts. Yeah, it's called Fuck You. It's mostly just head butting and then kicking people when they're on the ground." - Charlie MacKenzie (Mike Myers in "So I Married an Axe Murderer") | |||

Bonnie and Clyde. Gene Wilder had a small part. Funny, classic Gene Wilder, right from the start of his career. | |||

Jhe888 beat me to the James Earl Jones/Dr. Strangelove reference. Humphrey Bogart in High Sierra, also staring Ida Lupino and Bogie's dog 'Zero'. This was the film that got his career moving. (Lupino got top billing.) It's an excellent movie; see it if you get a chance. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

"What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" featured Leonardo DiCaprio in his first major role. A very young Johnny Depp had the lead. DiCaprio played a severely autistic teenager-- played the role brilliantly. (I just double checked DuckDuckGo, and "This Boy's Life" in 1993 was first, with "Gilbert Grape" following in 1994. In "This Boy's Life," DiCaprio played opposite DiNero. "This Boy's Life" is an excellent book, but a weak movie. "Gilbert Grape" is a powerful movie. Anyway, let the record be corrected.) ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

Johnny Depp was in the original Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) Kevin Costner was the corpse in The Big Chill. He had speaking lines in the script, some of which were filmed, but they were all cut. | |||

I'm more of a Fast times at Ridgemont High/Dazed and Confused crowd, but didn't American Graffiti launch a few careers? Brad Pitt in A River Runs Through It (he did at least one before this but wasn't huge yet) Also - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has a handful of actors before they were big. -------------------- I like Sigs and HK's, and maybe Glocks | |||
