Hollywood A-Listers Who Got Their Big Break in Horror Films

Patrick Dempsey

McDreamy wasn't even credited in his first-ever role. Before starring in the '80s rom-com Can't Buy Me Love (1987), Patrick Dempsey appeared in The Stuff (1985), a satirical sci-fi horror movie in which he played "Underground Stuff Buyer #2." The character was so minimal that there are no existing stills of Dempsey's feature in the film.
