Does John Cusack count? Or was he too old when he began acting professionally?
Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
John Cusak in Sixteen Candles (right?) is the littlest thing ever.
John (and Joan) definitely count, I'd say.
John Cusak in The Journey of Natty Gann is way cuter, IMHO.
Okay.
And Patty Duke -- if we didn't mention her before.
How about Hallie Mills?
He may wind up so over-identified with Frodo that he has a very hard time getting work for a while
According to IMDB, he's already done 5 films since RotK. (Including Eternal Sunshine.) So even if he's not getting mobbed to play leading man roles, he's not doing too badly.
I need to see a picture of Erik Estrada in an afro. The idea makes me giggle.
Star of the gloriusly silly "rock ' roll fantasy" Streets of Fire, with Willem Dafoe as the bad guy.
Diane Lane's career is pretty impressive when you look back on it. I saw her on Inside the Actor's Studio recently and she said some thoughtful and interesting things about acting and her career, including wishing that she had made "braver choices" over the years (after the success of Unfaithful, I guess). Her first film appearance, according to imdb, was at 14. She was 18 for The Outsiders and Rumble Fish.

In my head, this looks like a cross between George Lopez and Shaft.
Elijah seems canny -- after starring in such huge films, he's already got more post-big-trilogy credits than Mark did in the same time span.
True. Possibly Elijah has more business savvy. He's got four movies coming out over the next two years. I don't know how big his roles in them are, but if he keeps this up, he won't have much to worry about.
Of course, not getting into a major car accident requiring massive facial reconstruction is probably also a point in Elijah's favor.
