I would have to disagree with many of these. For example, Willis was on "Moonlighting" before Die Hard. Tom Hanks had done "Bosom Buddies" as well as movies like Splash and Bachelor Party. Morgan Freeman already had an Oscar nomination before Driving Miss Daisy, Denzel Washington had one before he did Glory. Tom Cruise had already done Risky Business. I appreciate the idea, but everyone will have their own opinion of when a certain celebrity gained "mainstream popularity."

Yeah, this seems more like a list of "my favorite things these actors were in."

I just kept typing "The Outsiders" over and over. Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Emelio Estevez...I guess "mainstream popularity" is a bit subjective, but that's atleast when they became popular with me. :)
