Successful actors making blockbuster films also have low budget films - usually early in their careers - that are sometimes very good or enjoyable.
What is your favorite low budget or smaller film starring a now big budget actor?
One of mine is All The Right Moves (1983) starring Tom Cruise. Cruise plays a high school football player who has big dreams of getting a scholarship to play football so he can become an electrical engineer and get out of the steel mining town he lives in.
