Most people tend not to agree with me, but I do suspect Spielberg had a hand in helping to sabotage Scheider's career after he went public with his complaints about SeaQuest. Failing health wouldn't have helped, but to me it's just too coincidental that his career began to tank almost immediately after that fracas. Movie 43...it's like Area 51, in that I have no explanation for what the hell was going on there. There's sure to be a good tell all book about Spielberg one day. One interesting thing is if he was the movie mogul that Sean Young said tried to sabotage her career-although she has been kind of looney--she was under consideration for Raiders of the Lost Ark and quite probably would have been Spielberg's preferred choice so something must have happened---it's either him or Ridley Scott.
There's also the Poltergeist screenplay thing--the son of Eleanor Parker sent Spielberg a script and many elements of it turned up in the movie--it was going to turn into a court case with Ray Bradbury vs Richard Matheson as expert witnesses on ghost stories! But they settled out of court. But the writer never did much after that.
Ditto with Bob Gale after using Crispin Glover's image in Back to the Future 2. Glover was blacklisted afterwards, but recovered more than Bob Gale did.

Bruce Davison in Titanic II (2010). I know they must have wanted at least one famous face in there, but Bruce, you're better than that!

Ray Milland teamed up, so to speak, with Roosevelt Grier (Pam's cousin) for this one.

Michael Caine in "JAWS: THE REVENGE"
Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey, Steven Spielberg, and Michael Caine in "AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER".
Michael Caine has admitted that his paycheck from "Jaws: The Revenge" built his new house. 'nuff said.

Lance Henriksen in pretty much any low-budget B-movie that he finds himself in. That being said, he’s perhaps the best part in all of them.

Seeing Rip Torn in "Freddy Got Fingered" was pretty out of left field.
Also, definitely Eric Roberts in "Human Centipede 3." He just had that great role in "The Dark Knight"...
Ray Wise, who you may not know by name, but you'd know his face, shows up all the time in really weird stuff...a few times in "Tim and Eric" even
Peter Stormare is up there with Lance Henriksen for appearing in really unusual places.
"Cabin in the Woods" has a lot of good actors, but I was surprised to see the cameo of Sigourney Weaver
Not a movie, but George Clooney played the role of a dog on Southpark. No dialogue, just making dog growls/grumbles
Abe Vigoda shows up in "Good Burger" of all things and has a very small role where he's just basically a janitor getting bullied.
Edward Furlong shows up in some really bizarrely schlocky movies. I know he's a little down on his luck with addiction (hope "Terminator Dark Fate" gives him a boost to his health).
David Carradine is well known for showing up (sort of drunk most of the time) in some lesser movies up until his death.
Finally, and he's been getting weird for a while now, Corey Feldman in Roger Corman's "Splatter." Everything about this was weird. I can see the appeal of working with Corman, who is a legend of schlock, but this whole thing felt like a bad acid trip.
Honorable mention: Jason Patrick in "Friday the 13th" (forget which one). He was young, but it was just more weird for me to see him with hair.

Also, though star-studded, I was pleasantly surprised to see Helen Mirren in "Red" and in a starring role no less.
I'm currently watching a movie that came out last year starring Donald Sutherland (top billed) called "American Hangman" as I thought he retired years ago.

Robert Mitchum appeared in Matilda (1978). No, not the movie based on the Roald Dahl book; this one was about a boxing kangaroo (played by a guy in a kangaroo suit). I guess Mitchum's catchphrase, "Baby, I don't care" applies here.

Seeing Rip Torn in "Freddy Got Fingered" was pretty out of left field. More so for Anthony Michael Hall.
