15+ Film Roles of Famous Actors We Might Have Missed

The filmography of some Hollywood actors can be so long that even their fans can’t immediately recall all their roles. The youngest Charmed sister Rose McGowan, for example, played the evil witch in Conan the Barbarian. While Sean Astin, Sam from The Lord of the Rings, starred alongside Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler, playing a buff guy Doug in 50 First Dates.

At Bright Side, we love to study the filmography of famous actors and actresses, and we decided to put together their unusual film roles which have long remained unnoticed for some unknown reason.
