    Jeff Goldblum goes back even further than Annie Hall with his first film appearance in 1974, Death Wish.

      Christopher Guest (“Mr. Jamie Lee Curtis”, famous as Nigel Tufnel in Spinal Tap, as well as The Princess Bride, Waiting for Guffman and Best In Show, and a regular on SNL in the 80s) was a cop near the end of Death Wish. But he had played a bit part as a cop in Robert Redford’s The Hot Rock before that.

    Also, Gene Wilder in Bonnie and Clyde. And Sam Elliott in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (played the card player at the beginning sans mustache), it’s how he met his future wife Katherine Ross.

    Sigourney Weaver, was in Annie Hall (Alvy’s Date Outside Theatre at end of movie)

    I was shocked to see both Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane (in an uncredited non speaking role) in Krull

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Brothers Bloom doesn’t really count, its not his first movie and its his second Rian Johnson movie. That’s an intentional walk on cameo.

    Steve Buscemi shouldn’t count since he was in Resevoir Dogs already at that point. Its just how QT rolls.

    Is that Michael Cera on the front right of “the village” ? o.0

    I haven’t seen most of these, and I try to pretend Nemesis doesn’t exist.

    Let’s not forget Jeff Spicoli’s “stoner buds” in Fast Times: Eric Stoltz and Anthony Edwards. Unrecognizable. Look at them closely when they go to the fast food joint topless and Judge Reinhold has to kick them out.
