it amuses me how virtually everyone in love actually, including the kids, went on to play or had already played characters who became iconic or fan favourites in pop culture
so just in one movie you’ve got snape, qui-gon jinn, davy jones, professor trelawney, mr darcy, bilbo baggins, rick grimes, the operative, elizabeth swann, jojen reed, marceline the vampire queen, blackadder, and emma frost
and also hugh grant
The big exception to this is Martine McCutcheon, who had to retire from acting when she got Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. :(
