It's Impossible To Name 100% Of These Actors In Their Early Roles!

It's time to play 'before they were stars'! We all love to see our favorite actors and actresses way back when in their earliest parts. During their earliest roles before they became mega stars. Some are seedy, some are cheeky, some are endearing, but they're all pretty cool to see a “hey isn't that (insert actor’s name)” type of cameo role or even early starring role.

For example, one of Benicio Del Toro’s is in the James Bond adventure, License To Kill; which actually makes him one of the few actors to be in a Marvel flick, a Bond flick, and a Star Wars movie - a pretty cool final Jeopardy answer for you. Little bits of trivia like that are what big time huge fans of Tinseltown love.

Do you think you are a huge TV and movie mega fan? Do you get a kick out of seeing your favorite celebrities in their earlier roles that either showcase how amazing an actor is and will be, or just a laughable performance that serves as a footnote to a career. If you think you know, then take our quiz and find out!

Question 19

Who Is This Actress?

Thank goodness for Warwick Davis. When the first Leprechaun was being filmed, he injected some humor into what was supposed to be a straight-forward horror movie. A little leprechaun who murders people for stealing his pot of gold just seems like a silly idea for a horror flick, so horror comedy has a little better ring to it.

Who Is This Actress?
