What about this? Or does that more properly belong in the "Famous thesps parted bits before they were famous" thread?

I was watching Dr Who (new incarnation series one) and it's notable that both Eve Myles (Gwen) and Naoko Mori (Tosh) as a chamber maid and coroner respectively. Although the latter was also seen as Saffie's friend in Absolutely Fabulous.

No, I honestly couldn't work out why you'd posted a picture of Martin Kemp.

My wife always collpases in giggle whenever Colin Farrell is on screen or mentioned because she still associates him with 'Ballykissangel'.

I just get him confused with Colin Firth.

A friend and I were just talking about how Mary Stuart Masterson was one of Katharine Ross's kids in the original (and better) The Stepford Wives. She seems to have faded from view lately, unfortunately.

He had a fairly substantial part in the original "Nightmare on Elm Street" before Platoon, but he was far from famous. His leading role in the TV show "21 Jump Street" was the first thing to make him famous in the US, but that was after Platoon, I think.
