5. Nick Castle, the original Michael Myers. Directed, among other things, Major Payne and Dennis the Menace.

6. Harvey Stephens, Damien in The Omen. Futures trader on the London stock market.

7. Warwick Davis, Leprechaun. Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter movies (among other things).

8. Daveigh Chase, Samara in The Ring. She's the voice of Lilo in Disney's Lilo and Stitch.

9. Anthony Perkins, Norman Bates in Psycho. He also played Javert in the 1978 television production of Les Miserables.

10. Tobin Bell, Jigsaw in Saw. This one was going to be great "“ Wikipedia told me Tobin Bell played Debbie's dad in the 1982 "classic" Debbie Does Dallas. But it seems to be false information, because when I try to find a credible source on that one, their information seems to be taken off of Wikipedia as well. Darn. But this one is a fact: Bell played the record store owner in a fourth-season Seinfeld episode called "The Old Man." I know, it doesn't quite have the same kick, does it?

Do you know of any other unexpected career moves? As always, share in the comments!
