I was very surprised today when I watched American History X and recognized a hugely obese man who played the character Seth. I seemed to recognize him as the friend to the lead character in the movie Blow named Tuna.
Turns out this actor’s name is Ethan Suplee and when I looked him up on IMDB, I was shocked to see that he has lost about 200 pounds. Just take a look at his following picture:

This was referred to in an episode of Raising Hope three years ago. Ethan Suplee was a guest star and this happened, as noted by me in a thread about the show:
“And your husband looks like a thin version of the fat guy from Mallrats!”
That just cracked me up as, let’s face it, half the people watching it were thinking “crap, he’s lost weight”.
