It makes sense that actors have been in bad movies early in their careers, it's almost what being an actor is about. Everyone has at least one embarrassing film in their early credits, because ya gotta eat. My challenge is, can you think of any filmmakers, writers, directors, who have early crummy assignments to their names. Lloyd was already mentioned, yeah. But it's challenging, hell, even Steven Spielberg did Duel and that's still considered a minor classic of his career. The one that always pops to my mind first is James Cameron getting his big break with Piranha 2 The Spawning for Roger Corman. And for that matter, Joe Dante getting his start on the original Piranha too, I guess. But that one is actually held in some high regard, even if it's just a Jaws cash-in. Francis Ford Coppola, Dementia 13.
