Flavorwire‘s Jason Bailey put together this excellent 3:36 video featuring famous actors in their film debuts in honor of the DVD and Blu-ray release of the excellent documentary Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel, which gives good reason as to why they began with Jack Nicholson in Corman’s 1960 feature Little Shop of Horrors. As for why they chose the other 35 actors featured I have no idea, but it is a fun watch nonetheless.
Below the video I have included the list of actors featured in order of their appearance. And if you haven’t yet made it a point to add Corman’s World to your Netflix queue do so right now. I wrote down a few of my thoughts on it yesterday.
