I guess tv shows such as Doctor Who & The Amazing World of Gumball, movies like Batman (89) & Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) as well as voice work in video games like Batman: Arkham Knight (2015) don't count? Yes some of those times were minor roles but still, I don't think he counts Biggs AND Porkins were in Batman? Yeah, Garrick Hagon played Biggs in Star Wars and the father who gets mugged at the start of Batman.

I don't think I can count "bit part in big movie" as any sort of marker for this discussion, personally, hit or bomb.

Maria Pitillo comes to mind. Lots of bit parts in movies until she landed the main supporting role in the '98 Godzilla, which was a financial hit, but more or less killed her career. A handful of TV appearances and a couple of TV movies, and then she was out of the business by 2008.

If we're including TV, you could say this about a lot of former child stars... Tina Yothers and Justine Bateman from Family Ties Jaleel White is always gonna be Urkel Dana Plato and Gary Coleman from Different Strokes Tempest Bledsoe as Vanessa Huxtable Dustin Diamond as Screech

Alex Winter as Bill in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Lost Boys? But maybe not big enough role in it

Mario van Peebles in New Jack City Biggs from Star Wars How dare you dismiss Jaws: The Revenge and Solo! But seriously, dude was in Panther, Ali, and directed and starred as his own dad in Baadasssss. He's had a healthy career. Alex Winter also did a lot of directing too. I know he did The Jimmy Kimmel show for a while. I am hesitant to say Claire Forlani. Gorgeous actress, who really only had a mainstream Hollywood hit with Meet Joe Black. Unless we're counting the awful movie, Boys & Girls, and her bit part in The Rock. I guess Mallrats counts too.

Top Tip: If you go to imdb.com , search the name of someone you are not sure of, and when you find their page it will have will a “Known For” bit which lists up to four titles the person might be recognised for. Here I’ll use Baywatch “actor” Billy Warlock as an example: www.imdb.com/name/nm0912308/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t18Huh, the four “known for” titles don’t even list Baywatch... but then again after watching Baywatching with Allison Pregler.. that would be typical of Eddie. Sorry if this comes of as snarky, I’m not, I’m just trying to be helpful. I’m seeing a few names on here and it looks clear they are names that just popping into peoples heads.
