A second round of movies featuring actors or actresses who you wouldn't expect to see in their roles.
Lindsay Lohan, A Prairie Home Companion: A Robert Altman film featuring Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, John C. Reilly, Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Kline, Virginia Madsen, and...Lindsay Lohan.
Jon Stewart, The Faculty: Jon Stewart is a bad actor. The Faculty is a bad movie. Why would casting him as an evil teacher alien with tentacles seem like a good idea? It wasn't.
John Candy, JFK: This is really more of a cameo but it is still surprising to see the star of Wagons East show up in a Oliver Stone film. That being said, Candy is actually quite good in his brief scenes as Dean Andrews, a sinister individual concealing knowledge of who killed John F. Kennedy.
Marlon Wayans, Requiem for a Dream: This is the most frustrating kind of these appearances. An actor who has done nothing up to the movie to prepare you for how good they are in the role, then falls back into the same pattern after the movie.
