EVERYONE has to start somewhere ... and the same goes for movie stars.
Nowadays people like Jake Gyllenhaal, Vince Vaughn and Jessica Alba are famous around the world, but back in the 1990s they were up and coming stars who were still learning their craft.
Here are some of today’s biggest actors who probably slipped under the radar when you watched some of the biggest films from that wonderful decade.
Vince Vaughn:
Long before he was a wedding crasher, Vince Vaughn played a football jock in 1993s inspirational movie, Rudy.

Scarlett Johansson:
Lets be honest, Home Alone 3 wasn’t a great film. For starters there was no Macaulay Culkin and how can you have Home Alone movie without Mac? There was however a young actress by the name of Scarlett Johansson.

Aaron Paul:
Nowadays he’s famous for making meth on TV, but back in 2000 he played a high school student in Whatever It Takes.

Keira Knightley:
Be honest, did you have any idea that Knightley played Sabé in Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace in 1999?

Jason Segel:
Jennifer Love Hewitt was the star of Can’t Hardly Wait in 1998 but it’s fair to say her career has lost a fair bit of steam since then. However, a young man by the name of Jason Segel also appeared in the film and has since gone onto become a massive star!
Segel went on to star in How I Met Your Mother. Source: YouTube
Sam Rockwell:
You might remember Sam from such films as Seven Psychopaths, Iron Man 2 or Moon. You probably won’t remember him though from 1990s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in which he played ... wait for it ... “Head Thug”.

Amy Adams:
Ever heard of the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous? Not many people have and when it came out in 1999 not many people had any idea who one of the stars, Amy Adams, was. How times have changed.

Jessica Alba:
She’s now considered one of the most beautiful stars in Hollywood, but back in 1994 she was just another kid trying to enjoy her holidays in Camp Nowhere.
