Ah, ya beat me to it. He was also the submarine crewman who supervises the ice floe airstrip in Firefox.
Looks like that guy was Joe Bitpart for a while. Where exactly was he in ESB?
Actually, he was the masochistic dental patient Wilbur Force.
He was an officer in Hoth. In the scene where Han and Luke haven’t returned and Leah’s looking out mournfully, another officer comes in and says to Cliff “Sir, the patrols are in. Still no—” And Cliff motions for him to lower his voice in front of Leah before he continues “still no contact from Solo or Skywalker.” Cliff then turns to Leah and says “Your Highness, there’s nothing more we can do tonight - we must close the sheild doors.”
Mgoo-hay.
Cliff was also a NASA employee in Superman 2 - he’s the one that gets into a discussion about whether the Astronaut on the moon said “girl” or “curl.”
Oh, and he was also the guy who was robbing the convenience store, and shot Harrison Ford, in Regarding Henry.
What’s the name of the movie where he is a plumber/adventurer? I think this was probably post-Cheers or at least contemporary with the series.
Kevin Costner also played a frat boy in Night Shift.
No idea. I’m more of a fan of the old movies I saw him in than a fan of him specifically.
Ooooh - another one from Night Shift (1982?) - when Henry Winkler finds Shelly Long in the elevator after she’s been stiffed by a john & the door opens and a troop of “Bluebirds” or “Bluebells” or whatever they were called spots him & a one of the little girls blows her whistle & yells “Mugger!” – that whistle blower is Shannon Doherty.
I just remembered two girlfriend roles:
In License to Drive, one of those godawful Corey/Corey flicks, a young Heather Graham plays the hot chick.
In Johnny Be Good, Anthony Michael Hall’s girlfriend is played by a young Uma Thurman.
I dig that movie for the scene where the two scouts are trying to recruit Johnny. One is from Southern California, the other New England. They grab each other and start screaming, and the guy from New England keeps yelling “It’s good to have the seasons change! It’s good to have the seasons change!” Cracks me up every time.
One of his usual roles then 
House II: The Second Story
Kirsten Dunst, as a little girl, played Deanna Troi’s sister Kestra in the NextGen episode “Dark Page.”
Kestra had drowned as child; Lwaxana was in a coma from trying to block out the memory, and Deanna saw Kestra in Lwaxana’s mind.
Sorry. Actually, Ms. Dunst played a young alien girl, Hedril, in that episode; but Hedril appears as Kestra in Troi’s vision, as she reminded Lwaxana of her lost daughter.
This was in 1993, a year before Ms. Dunst’s appearance as Claudia in Interview with the Vampire.
Tom Selleck had a bit part as a human chandelier in the movie “Coma”.
I just caught part of an old Law & Order, and Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of the rapists.
But then again, who the heck hasn’t been on Law & Order?
A thirteen-year-old Kirsten Dunst also played the young Resi in Mother Night.
“Go ahead and shoot the dog. I didn’t like it anyway.” I’ve always wondered if someone else looped her dialogue for that brief role, or if she just had great talent and coaching.
Billy Bob Thornton had a small part in Chopper Chicks in Zombietown and John Goodman had a cameo in C.H.U.D.
Are you sure about that? I know young is a relative term, but Footloose was made in 1984 and Hasselhoff was in his early 30s, a veteran of daytime TV and doing Knight Rider at the time.
And Joan Allen as one of Kathleen Turner’s friends.
As did Lauren Ambrose, now well known for Six Feet Under.

Morgan Freeman was a regular on the PBS kids’ show Electric Company back in the early '70s, with a recurring role as “Easy Reader” among other characters.
Electric Company also featured Rita Moreno and Bill Cosby, and in one of her first jobs, a pre-Fame Irene Cara. As an interesting aside, the first head writer on the show was Paul Dooley, who played Molly Ringwald’s father in Sixteen Candles amongst other great roles.
In the graduate, a pre-MASH Mike Ferrell plays a bell hop in the hotel lobby, a pre-Mr. Furley Norman Fell plays the boarding house landlord, and the border who asks in one scene “Should I call the cops?” is Richard Dryfess.
Norman Fell was Mr. Roper, not Mr. Furley, on Three’s Company. And four years before The Graduate he played one of the police officers at the crash site at the beginning of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
