Some of the most iconic movie characters have been played by actors unknown to the wider public outside of their diehard franchises and fandoms.
It's hard to believe that behind some of the most iconic movie characters, there are actors most people have never heard of. While it might be difficult to believe that an iconic character would be played by someone unknown, it's almost stranger that the role didn't always launch them into the stratosphere of superstardom. More often than not, it's the actors playing characters with partially obscured faces and complicated costumes that don't become known for the role.

Released in 1974, it was considered one of the scariest movies ever made thanks to Hansen's unhinged performance as an unstable young man who brutally slaughters five teens returning to a childhood residence in the backcountry of rural Texas.
7 Michael Myers - Nick Castle Once simply known as The Shape in John Carpenter's classic Halloween but since known by his real name, Michael Myers has been an unstoppable force in horror ever since the late '70s when he was first portrayed by Nick Castle.

5 Amphibian - Doug Jones Doug Jones has played the best creatures in Hollywood, including Abe Sapian in Hellboy and Billy Butcher in Hocus Pocus, but his most iconic role was playing the captured Amphibian deity in Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water.
