These A-List Stars All Made Their Screen Debuts 30 Years Ago

1986 was a golden year for film.

Don't feel old, but.. it's been an astonishing thirty years since these stars all made their big screen debuts.

1986 was a cracking year for cinema-goers, with 'Top Gun', 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off', 'Aliens', 'Platoon' and 'Crocodile Dundee' all proving that it wasn't just the era of the rom-com.

However, while Tom Cruise, Matthew Broderick, Sigourney Weaver and Paul Hogan were making waves at the box office, this bunch of newbies were also sneaking onto the screen, a group striking in its talent and variety...
