“Robert De Niro’s film debut was as an extra in Three Rooms in Manhattan (1965)”. – @SkotArmstrong
De Niro debuts with Marcel Carné. Who’d have thought that.

Steve McQueen in The Blob. Apparently he hated the film and hoped it would never be released. Shame because it’s a beautiful horror film.

Marlon Brando in The Men (Fred Zinnemann, 1950), nominated by @terrificmind. “A paralized war vet tries to adjust to the world without the use of his limbs”. IMDB.

“Sydney Greenstreet is so good as The Fat Man in The Maltese Falcon, it’s hard to remember it was his film debut. Rookie of the Year at 62!” – @deny_frey.
Flanked here by Elisha Cook Jnr and Humphrey Bogart.

Jack Nicholson, 60 years ago, in The Cry Baby Killer (Jusdus Addiss, 1958).
