Great thread, Channing
Here's a list of "fresh faces" and the movies in which they appeared,
which made an indelible impression on me, with performances that
demanded one take notice of them.
In no particular order:
Ray Liotta (and to a lesser degree Melanie) in Something Wild
John Turturro in Millers Crossing
Eric Roberts in Pope of Greenwich Village
Mickey Rourke in Body Heat
Leonardo DiCaprio in What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Charlize Theron in 2 Days in the Valley
An interesting footnote: even though the talents of all the above is
unquestionable, they didn't always progress to bigger and better
things, interestingly enough.

Subject: [MOPO] Off Topic -- New Movie Actors and Actresses
I've been enjoying the remake thread going around now and had a
thought about something similar last night. I was watching JERRY
MAGUIRE on cable and remembered how great and refreshing it was to
see a new actress on the screen when it first came out. Renee
Zellwegger was smart, pretty, sweet, and and a brand new face on the
Hollywood scene. She held her own with Tom Cruise and really made the
movie work in ways that another more familiar actress wouldn't have
been able to achieve. This is one of the few times when a new
personality came along recently that really "lit up the screen." For
those of you who yawn at the thought of another vehicle with Ben
Affleck or Tom Cruise or Charlize Theron or Julia Roberts or Cameron
Diaz -- can you think of other times when a new face has come along
and really improved a film or the movie industry in general -- out of
the blue?
