Before they were Stars
I've recently seen some shows/movies where the actors were very young and figured it was probably their starting role before they were stars.
The Outsiders - yeah, there's a ton of 'em but the ones that stood out most to me were Tom Cruise and a very young Diane Lane.
Little Shop of Horros - Tisha Campbell (one of the background singers) before Martin.
Popular Mechanics for Kids - a very young Elisha Cuthbert, probably around 12-13 years old.
L Word - Leisha Haley, (Alice Pieszecki) she appearead in a yogurt commercial that I think is still running.
So what shows, movies, commercials have you seen before they were stars?

I loved Quarterback Princess with Helen Hunt. Or was she already famous?

I've always really liked "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." (Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt, Johnathan Silverman, Shannen Doherty) I'm not sure where this fit in the timeline with "Square Pegs," and I know HH has been acting since birth, but I don't think anyone was a huge star yet.

You can catch an even younger Tom Cruise in Endless Love, which I believe was his first movie.

I recall reading about a series where they reenact the early beginnings of today's stars with different actors.
It could have been an upcoming show on basic cable, but the name escapes me.

Ever catch the Dwayne Johnson (aka THE ROCK) home video from when he was around 14?
He was a skinny, 14 year old or something, doing some goofy dance in his kitchen.

I'm pretty sure Damon Wayans was in "Colors". The dude in his underwear dancing in the electronics store with the stuffed bunny on his back.

I saw Wentworth ("Michael") from Prison Break pop up in Underworld in a bit part. He had curly hair. Very odd.

One of my long-forgotten ARWLs picked up "Quicksilver" from '86 with, of course, Kevin Bacon, but I was surprised to see Lawrence Fishburne (credited as Larry Fishburne, ha!).

She played Becky #2 for a few seasons after the original actress left the show.

IIRC, Sarah Chalke was not playing Becky # 2 in this episode, she was taking a group of kids trick or treating to the Connor's house. But, I could be wrong, I only caught a little of this episode and never was a big Rosanne fan anyway.

Before you scroll down for the answer, see if you can guess who was in this band that was #1 in the Phillipines in the 80's.

Slightly OT, but I just saw C. Thomas Howell in War of the Worlds (the cheaply made Sci-Fi version, apparently). Man, that guy is looking haggard. Luckily, 15 minutes of the movie was all I could stand so I didn't have to see him for long.
