The Aniston Effect
Everyone must learn to walk before they can run. That being said most if not all of Hollywood's elite cadre has started out by starring in films they would love to forget. Enter the Aniston Effect.
The Aniston Effect personifies the syndrome when super-stars of Hollywood have roots in some of the worst movies in existence. Named after the lovely Jennifer Aniston ( formerly Mrs. Pitt) and her celebrated work in the tragic yet neverending Leprechaun.
Few actors and actresses are immune to the Aniston Effect. In fact, so strong is it's pull, that many actors are drawn back in the twilight of their careers (see Michael Caine in Jaws: The Revenge).
Timothy Dalton is the one true James Bond,

Comments
I think I found a good example of the Aniston Effect, which may be due a review. The 1994 film 'Getting In' AKA "Student Bodies". It features a bit part by "Friends" alum Matthew Perry, the future "Ally McBeal", Calista Flockhart, & future celebrity/fame shunner, Dave Chappelle.
The film also has what I like to call, "McCarthyism" or "Brat Packitis". The main antagonist was a post "Weekend At Bernie's II" Andrew McCarthy in a 'please give me a check to pay off my dealer' role.
What's this? You're wearing the shirt of the band you're going to see? Don't be that guy.
