In Hollywood, starts are made and not born. It's no secret that many A- and B-listers we know and love today had to grind their way up from the very bottom, taking whatever parts they could get to build their portfolio before getting their shot at real stardom. Watching an old moving and seeing a famous actor play a tiny part in it can be a bit bizarre, but it's not uncommon at all.
