Young actors

[PkmnTrainerJ]

So, I'm sat here watching Return To Oz (Hey, it's awesome, fuck you) and I IMDBed it to see if any of the actors were still in acting jobs or not. Fairuza Balk whom plays Dorothy Gale is actually the woman from Waterboy!

Another one is a clearly obvious one, but if you didn't know it was her it might seem a bit odd. First one is from Labyrinth, second one is how she looks now.

zOMG! It's Jennifer Connelly! Yeah, so use this thread for comparing actors when they were young as to how they are now.

I remember when I first saw the Lord of the Rings I flipped out because I recognized Sean Astin from the Goonies. Then I realized he was in Rudy too and forgot that I went through the same thing when I saw that movie.

Funny, I actually did the same thing with Astin when he was in 50 First Dates. Well, I didn't flip out but it surprised me lol.

The reverse happened to me when I first watched Empire Of The Sun, only to find a tiny Christian Bale in the lead role.

I watched a bit of the Anthony Hopkins/John Hurt 1980 version of the Elephant Man the other day only to see a 14 year old Dexter Fletcher of Lock Stock/Gamesmaster/Press Gang fame. He looked about 6.

Well, my dad was flicking chanels about a week ago, and he had it on Criminal Minds... a blonde girl came on the screen and I noticed it was Nicholle Tom from The Nanny...

I didn't realise that Kirsten Dunst was in Interview With A Vampire until after seeing it a few times.
