Suggestion: Memorable Acting Debuts (Part 2)

Many actors start out with smaller roles before getting their movie breakthrough, but the following actors made a big impression on their very first onscreen acting job. Which of these memorable first roles do you like the most? List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls599734496/ I had almost finished my list when I found this poll by napierslogs: https://www.imdb.com/poll/EUuBzUsxd9M My question is slightly different but it's the same poll idea, so I made a Part 2 and removed the overlapping options. Sadly, I can't ask napierslogs for permission. These roles are the actors' first acting credit, the only exception I made was for Anna Paquin and Miranda Cosgrove who had a voice role prior to their movie role.

Lazenby did porn in Australia, lol. I was thinking Johnny Depp in Elm Street, but I see it was already in Part 1.

It's somehow drepressing that the career some of them didn't last successful for long. I think best example is Edward Furlong. He had a big deal with Terminator 2, later he appeared in American History X, a role, I admire him for. I even think that was his best role. But what does he do today? He acts in many productions which don't cross a rating of 5+/10. Some of them are even 3.x/10. That's sad for my humble opinion. But to be true, I also think he isn't a real a-class actor. He will always be b-class, playing in c-class movies. That's for some others, too. Rupert Grint for example. Same. While Daniel Radcliffe gets better and better. I'd place him in same category as Elijah Wood.
