11 Debut Roles Actors Are Extremely Embarrassed About

9. Benicio Del Toro – Big Top Pee-wee

In 1988, Benicio del Toro‘s film career got off to a running start with Big Top Pee-wee. In the film, del Toro played Duke, the Dog-Faced Boy. Now, we actually enjoy the film, though it received terrible reviews from most, but del Toro’s role must be a touch humiliating for the actor to look back on.

When asked about it, he said he has never gone back and watched the film, but he prepared for it by imitating a dog he had growing up. At least, he would imitate the way the dog barked.

Now, this isn’t a horrible performance by any stretch, but we have to wonder if choosing del Toro for the part was a comment on his looks. Either way, we doubt he shows this on dates.
