3.Channing Tatum was an extra in War of the Worlds, and you can very briefly see him running alongside Tom Cruise. Apparently, he did originally have dialogue in the scene where the church is destroyed — but it ended up being cut.

4.Before This Is Us or Heroes, Milo Ventimiglia played "Party Guest #1" in an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Technically Milo isn't an extra, as he does have one line, and he later described it as his "first real Hollywood paycheck."

5.If you're a fan of Degrassi High: School's Out, you might be able to spot Sandra Oh as a waitress in the background of one of the episodes.

6.Kelly Clarkson was an extra on Sabrina the Teenage Witch a few months before she auditioned for American Idol.

7.Megan Fox appeared as "Stars-and-Stripes Bikini Kid Dancing Under Waterfall" in Bad Boys II. Her casting and treatment on set later led to considerable criticism, as she was just 15 at the time.

8.Jon Hamm was in the second episode of Ally McBeal as "Gorgeous Guy at Bar." He later said of the casting process, "I was literally picked out of a line of people where the guy was walking down the line and was like, 'Eh, you!'"

14.Steve Carell briefly appeared in the 1991 John Hughes movie Curly Sue as a waiter. He later said, "I shot for three days and I was incredibly excited, and I couldn't have been more nervous."
