Does this movie fit the OP: _Fast Times at Ridgemont High_ featuring three future Academy Award winners: Nicholas Cage, Sean Penn, and Forrest Whitaker? ---

The other night, I was looking at old TV commercials on youtube (I was really bored!) and was surprised to discover that Heather Locklear was the girl who was so impressed by Faberge Shampoo that [she told two friends about it](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcskckuosxQ). (“And they told two friends, and THEY told two friends, and so on and so on…”) ---

Ben Jones plays the trucker that the Enoses ask about The Bandit toward the very beginning. He has one line “Ain’t seen him.” And. . . speaking of “Dukes of Hazzard,” the heavyset chap that walks up immediately after that and tells them where to find him was local actor Bruce Atkins, who played Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane from the movie “Moonrunners,” which would eventually give birth to “Dukes of Hazzard.” ---

I’ve watched **The Abyss** a zillion times, and still double-take at Chris Elliot as a ship’s crewman. ---

It’s got the Boars Nest, Uncle Jesse, Sheriff Roscoe Coltrane, and more. ---

> [@chargerrich](#): > > huh? > > David “friends” Schwimmer? > > Gotta call BS on this one, what he is 40-45? The Warriors was made in the 70s. Yeah, Schwimmer’s first credit on IMDB is in 1982. However, Marcelino Sanchez, who played Rembrandt, was also Ricardo in the “Bloodhound Gang” segments on early 3-2-1 Contact.

Dana Carvey had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it part as cameraman in _Halloween 2_. James Marsters (Spike on Buffy) played Cameraman #3 in _House On Haunted Hill_ (the remake.) Naomi Watts was in Children of the Corn 6. The girl who did the voice for Lilo in _Lilo & Stitch_ was also the girl in The Ring. The actress who played Christy in _Paranormal Activity 2_ was also in an episode of _House_ (forget which episode). ---

> [@ministryman](#): > > Does this movie fit the OP: > > _Fast Times at Ridgemont High_ featuring three future Academy Award winners: > > Nicholas Cage, Sean Penn, and Forrest Whitaker? One of my favorite films has a similar event: in **Raising Arizona** the “dip-tet shot” scene at the outdoor table features three future Best Actor(ess) Oscar winners, two of whom were unknown (to me anyway) at the time: Nick Cage, Holly Hunter, and Frances McDormand. ---

Jeremy Bulloch, better known as Boba Fett, appeared alongside the Third Doctor as Hal the Archer in [“The Time Warrior”.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZcMDnNx-QI) There have actually been quite a few actors who have done both [Star Wars and Doctor Who…](http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2012/09/01/actors-with-roles-in-both-doctor-who-and-star-wars-infographic/) ---

Joseph Gordon Levitt played a very boring friend of DJ Connor on Roseanne, pre-3rd Rock From The Son. Prior to that, he was one of the children in Angels in the Outfield, playing opposite Christopher Lloyd and Danny Glover. ETA: Of course, Roseanne also had Lacy Gorenson, Sarah Chalke, Sara Gilbert and Johnny Geleki, all unknown child actors at the time. ---
