Tina Fey
Way before she played Liz Lemon, Tina made bank being lovably quirky and awkward in this 1995 spot.
Channing Tatum
Before hitting it
big in Hollywood, Channing got audiences revved up with this 2002 TV
spot. And he didn’t even need to strip for it! channing tatum to direct

Drew Barrymore
Before walking down
the aisle with hubby Will Kopelman in June 2012, Drew got practice doing
it as a tiny tyke in this poppin’ 1979 spot.
Brad Pitt
Once Brad’s career
popped with this 1989 commercial, the fun didn’t stop. We wonder if
Angelina Jolie had the hots for then-unknown Brad when she saw his sexy
pecs in this yummy commercial.
Lindsay Lohan
Way before she was a scandal magnet, fresh-faced Lindsay “went ape” for this purple product. lindsay lohan new york hit and run,
Ben Affleck
Ben proved himself
to be royally charming in this 1989 spot, which was one of his
first-ever acting jobs. ben affleck burger king commercial,
Elisabeth Moss
Having this
commercial resurface after she rose to fame on “Mad Men” must have given
Elisabeth a real headache. elisabeth moss dating adam arkapaw,

John Travolta
John’s been through
some pretty humiliating stuff over the past few months, but this video,
which features the then-21-year-old singing and dancing in a pretty
compromising position, is all good, clean fun. john travolta retire from
acting after son’s died,
Courteney Cox
Courteney proved that this P-word isn’t dirty after becoming the first person to say it on U.S. television in this 1985 TV spot.
Matt LeBlanc
It seemed like Matt
was rehearsing for his future “Friends” role, Joey Tribbiani, in this
saucy late-’80s spot. “episodes” renewed for third season,
Sarah Michelle Gellar
This company must
have really liked little SMG, because they cast her in a series of
commercials in the early ’80s. She was pretty much their princess! sarah

Morgan Freeman
It’s difficult to
make someone buy a disgusting-tasting product. But if anyone could do it
— and make it sound reasonable — it’s Morgan Freeman. He is the voice of God, after all. morgan freeman lego movie,
Abigail Breslin
Now a teenager, we
bet Abigail is a wee bit embarrassed about this 1999 commercial, which
was her first-ever acting job. But hey, everyone does it! abigail

Seth Green
Seth plays the ultimate bratty mall rat, sporting a ridiculous hairdo and hitting on girls, in this ’90s-licious commercial.
John Goodman and Megan Mullally
Little did this 1983 commercial’s casting agents know that they had not one, but two future stars on their hands: John Goodman and Megan Mullally. Megan Mullally Party Down movie news
