You did, I suppose, so, thanks for pointing that out. I remember reading Elijah Wood was also in a movie as a little kid. I remember finding out that Adam Scott (of Severance and other things) was in Star Trek VIII: First Contact as Worf's helmsman during the big fight in the beginning, who announces the arrival of the Enterprise (which annoys Worf, who had just ordered a suicide run at the enemy). It doesn't "look" like him but it is. These little cameos (or whatever you call them before the person is famous) are fun to find.

They are just early roles.

When I was a kid, my mom taught me to read through the credits in old movies, because you often find some big star's name in a bit part, early in their career.
