21 Stars You Forgot Were In That Thing You Saw Once

Let's giggle and cringe together!

1. Kaley Cuoco in Alley Cats Strike

Via eonline.com

Forget about the nerds in her current day-to-day. Remember this gem? I mean, who could forget that HEART-RACING split scene?! Reminisce here.

2. Kim Kardashian in The Simple Life

Via myciin.com

Before she became an estimated net worth of $40 million, Kim rubbed an estimated number of 2 feet per day as Paris Hilton's assistant.

3. Demi Lovato in Grey's Anatomy

Via j-14.com

Her character, Hayley May, was misdiagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia- YIKES.

4. Kirsten Dunst in Tower of Terror

Via gizmodo.com.au

Dunsts deals with deadly forces in this somewhat forgotten flick (so naturally I watched it all the time), but the most terrifying might have been her double scrunchie ponytail...

5. Rose Byrne in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Via blastr.com

She played Dormé, one of Senator Amidala's decoys. Dormé loosely translated into most languages is "sleep" and if you did just that for even a second you missed her.

6. Shailene Woodley in The O.C.

Via people.com

Before she was carrying a revolver around Monterey in Big Little Lies, she played the original Kaitlin Cooper down the beach in The O.C. Look how cute!

7. Ryan Gosling in Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Via hollywood.com

He had that classic zinger- "What a Cheesehead!" La La LOL.

8. Bradley Copper in the Sex and the City

Via telegraph.co.uk

So the avid Sex and the City fans might remember his brief appearance, but did you clock that fact that he hasn't aged a DAY? I did...and I haven't stopped crying.

9. Brie Larson in 13 Going on 30

Also, let's not forget her starring role in Disney's Right on Track people!

10. America Ferrera in Gotta Kick It Up!

Via theyoungfolks.com

What could be considered a Kidz Bop version of Bring It On, this 2002 Disney Channel original movie is by no means any less memorable. To think this is just FOUR years before Ugly Betty aired in 2006!

11. Elizabeth Banks in Catch Me If You Can

Via lawikiseries.blogspot.com

Banks played Lucy, a sex-deprived bank teller duped by a youthful DiCaprio. I mean, who could blame her? Aren't we all just sex-deprived bank tellers living in Leonardo's world?

12. Zac Efron in Firefly

Via pinterest.com

From baby to BABE, Zac Efron made his debut in the cult-classic Firefly series back in 2002. DON'T YOU JUST WANT TO SQUEEZE THOSE CHEEKS?

13. Evan Rachel Wood AND Vanessa Hudgens in Thirteen

Via pinterest.com

Pre-robot and pre-running around with aforementioned babe Zac Efron, these two found themselves in Thirteen together. 14 years later and I'm STILL shook. Drugs, sex, crime- you name it, it delivers.

14. Keri Russell in Honey I Blew Up The Kid

Via pofoz.com

God I loved this movie. The entire gang is back, this time with Keri Russell as Nick's love interest/babysitter to his new younger brother Adam (soon to be giant toddler).

15. Selena Gomez in Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over

Via youtube.com

She's graciously credited with the title of "Waterpark Girl" in this third installment of the Spy Kids franchise (one whose existence we all choose to deny).

16. Elijah Wood in Back to the Future Part II

Via stuff.co.nz

Is that a fly-swatter glued to a plastic bowl?

17. Megan Fox in Holiday in the Sun

Via cosmopolitan.com

Brianna was everything you'd expect her to be- privileged, full of shade and CAKED in lip gloss.

18. Max Greenfield on Gilmore Girls

Via rebeccapatton.com

Currently known for his role on New Girl, Max Greenfield played a dopey friend of Dean's in the Season 4 episode, "Chicken or Beef?"

19. Jim O'Heir on Friends

Via zimbio.com

While most may remember Ana Faris playing a role on the hit show, it's easy to forget that our poor little Jerry Gergich from Parks and Recreation made an appearance as their adoption agency worker.

20. Octavia Spencer in Spiderman

Via spidermancrawlspace.com

She didn't always have an Oscar folks (though we can argue she always deserves one, right?)- before Minny Jackson, there was "Check-In Girl."

21. Miley Cyrus in Big Fish

Via filmschoolrejects.com

So pure. So innocent. Still so Miley.
