Unknown at the time


Jack Black wasn't a household name when this came out.

Natalie Portman was just starting out. It is amazing how she looks the same after almost 20 years.

Is there anyone else who was in this movie before they really broke out?

Not quite what you're looking for, but Pam Grier, first famous from her 1970s blaxploitation films, appeared in Mars Attacks! before she had her career revival in Jackie Brown, which was released the year after MA.

Quentin Tarantino gets credit for rejuvenating moribund careers (John Travolta and Robert Forster along with Grier), but Tim Burton should get a nod for Greer too.
