Before They Were Famous in the Nineties (and now), in the Eighties They Were..., Actors First Names Beginning with I

This is a list of actors from the little and big screen, and the small roles they had before their big break. I'm not looking for what a particular actor did outside of acting, I'm looking more for bit roles and TV commercials. I think you could just write down waiter for almost any actor if you really wanted to if that were the case.

Ian Ziering
He played Brooke Shields younger brother in Endless Love. He's about 10 or 11 years old and the only time you can really see him is when they have a nice dinner at her house and the father sends Ian to get a bottle of wine.
Ice-T
Had a bit part in the movie "Breakin' II: Electric Boogaloo." He was one of the performers during the fundraiser to save the center. And he was quite young at the time.
