Cuba Gooding Jr was a boy getting a haircut in 1988's Coming to America. The mailman from Cheers is actually in the Empire Strikes Back (hoth base.)He's not seen, but has a line in the movie. Tom Hanks appeared on Happy Days and Taxi. Nicholas Cage Cage collects comic books and sees them as being today's equivalent of history ( kinda like unbreakable). Cage is the nephew of legendary director Francis Ford Coppola. Nicolas Cage, who liked Johnny Depp well enough to introduce him to his agent. Result? A small role in A Nightmare on Elm Street (Johnny's feature film debut). Bill Murray apeared in the music videos for Buster Poindexter's "Hot, Hot, Hot" Cuba Gooding's first break into acting was in a small part on TV's Hill Street Blues. He blew a number of takes, not knowing that he was supposed to stand on his "mark," a white piece of tape on the floor. He then decided he should take an acting class ------------------ humble, but hungry. [This message has been edited by PhiSlammaJamma (edited January 04, 2001).]

Val Kilmer has a small role in the movie "True Romance". He plays Elvis, when Christian Slater is in the bathroom. I also do not believe anyone can name a movie that has more recognizable names than "True Romance". Christian Slater Patricia Arquette Brad Pitt Val Kilmer Dennis Hopper Gary Oldman Christopher Walken Samuel L. Jackson Bronson Pinchot Micheal Rapaport Chris Penn Saul Rubinek (The rich hollywood director. He's also the same guy who was Daphnie's fiance on "Frasier") James Gandolfini (One of Walken's thugs.

Wesley Snipes was actually the rival gang leader character in that video. That part was originally supposed to be played by Prince but he turned it down for reasons that seem obvious... In an interview, Prince said: "That Wesley Snipes character was supposed to be me but Michael was signing 'Your butt is mine.' Now, I know he ain't singin' that to me and I sure as hell ain't singin' that to him!" The idea was to play upon the supposed rivalry between Prince and Jackson in the early 80's. ------------------ The way to use life is to do nothing through acting, The way to use life is to do everything through being. - Lao-Tzu
Not so good. #6 is wrong. I thought about Kelly's Heroes, but was stretching on the last 2 names to get up to 13. Eastwood was one of the stars in that movie, so your guess is definitely wrong. Battle of the Bulge The Wild Bunch The Last Picture Show also come in with about 11 "names", but did not meet my criteria of 13 or better. I could cheat and list "Woodstock", but it is more of a documentary and the "names" are musicians rather than actors. Mango Lets get the Mo Go working! Test Your NBA Trade Ideas 1.

I heard this one the other day on the radio. The movie "Big" was originally slated to be a Stephen Spielberg movie. Spielberg wanted, who else? His Raiders of the Lost ark buddy Harrison Ford to play the "Big" character. For some reason it didn't work out and the movie "Big" went to Penny Marshall, and she cast Tom Hanks in the role. And as we all know the role changed Hanks' career completely. ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET
