Brooke Shields
Brooke Shields' film debut in Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) helped cement the low-budget film as a contemporary classic of the slasher subgenre. The slasher film features Shields as the "favorite daughter" who is viciously murdered by a masked killer. In the years since its release, Alice, Sweet Alice has amassed quite a cult following. During her audition, Shields had to mime as though she was being strangled to death.
Henry Cavill
You might know him as Superman, but Henry Cavill actually got his big break encountering Pinhead in the eighth Hellraiser installment. Cavill played sex addict Mike in Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005) in which he's gruesomely offed by a Cenobite. Hopefully, getting impaled by a giant hook and dying in midair was worth it, since the role helped to launch his career.
