When you're trying to make your name in Hollywood, everyone has to start somewhere. It's a fact of life for just about every major actor or actress: You have to start small with your roles, like Amy Adams appearing in the beauty-pageant satire "Drop Dead Gorgeous" or Steven Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can" years before she became an A-lister. Perhaps one of the most famous examples people love to trot out is that Michael Shannon plays a Wrestlemania-loving young man very briefly near the end of the 1993 comedy classic "Groundhog Day," 15 years before his Oscar-nominated turn in the Sam Mendes film "Revolutionary Road." But not every actor's humble beginning is the kind of thing they may want to brag about.

Consider the most recent man to star as 007, Daniel Craig. Craig was a well-known British actor before he was called upon to play James Bond, but most people in the United States thought they'd first gotten a glimpse of Craig and his craggy face in another Mendes film, the 2002 mob movie "Road to Perdition." Those folks probably have forgotten (and Craig likely wants to forget) his first foray into American cinema, considering that it's his lowest-rated film on Rotten Tomatoes. That ignominious honor goes to none other than the 1995 Disney movie "A Kid in King Arthur's Court."
