*EDIT*See it was already mentioned lol*EDIT*
Too many 50's to list here's a few you may know.
Slazenger, Area51, Area53, Area54, Erruption, Mind Plague, Thresher, Sheath, Broadside, Debt
Phineas and Ferb's British Dad (Flynn Fletcher) is RIFF RAFF from Rocky Horror.
Their grandfather is Malcolm McDowell.
(Quite a few other neat connections on that show too).
Before Mark Hamill became the voice of the Joker, he played a similar character on the Flash TV series, the Trickster. He reprised that role in an episode of JLU.
That same JLU episode had Alexis Denisoff (Wesley Wyndham-Pryce of Buffy/Angel) playing Mirror Master. He also cameo'd in the Avengers as the guy that gave Loki the Chitauri army (and again in the post credits scene, which I won't spoil if you're one of the 12 people who haven't seen Avengers yet).
Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones was Sarah Conner on The Sarah Conner Chronicles, and also the Queen of Sparta in 300.
Tyrion Lannister was the villain in the live action Underdog movie (among lots of other roles).
Tony Stark was in "Back to School" with Rodney Dangerfield.
Captain America was the Human Torch.
Green Lantern was Deadpool.
Gambit was John Carter of Mars.
Okay, I'm grasping now. :-)

Don't forget the quick Danny Glover cameo in the Mel Gibson version of Maverick. Great eye contact with a WTF look and Lethal Weapon jazz riff.
your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.

I just saw that Fred Savage, the kid from the Wonder Years, directed 19 episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Amazing. He also VA'd on Kim Possible and was Hawk in Justice League.
The body armor from Starship Troopers was also used in Firefly (The Train Job).
Not an actor, but usually don't see props just floating around.

Only just now, while watching the movie, realized that Michael Fassbender was in 300 (Stelios). Not entirely surprising since it came out a few years before he made the big times.

Stelios: Then we will fight in the shade

Stelios Cantos!
Oh, it's over. He's running so far away. No, he's just building up speed!
I just realized that Andrea, Carol, and quite possibly Dale, from The Walking Dead were in The Mist with the Punisher.

Laurence Fishbourne was a nameless thug in Death Wish 2. Don't know about The French Connection.

Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me. It's been a while since I've seen that movie.  Edit: I see he's not really old enough for that. So I probably just am going crazy.  |
Too many alts to list.
Mr. Weasley from HARRY POTTER playing the stuttering actor struggling through the prologue of "Romeo and Juliet" in SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE.
From the same film, Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge) as Gwyneth Paltrow's longsuffering maidservant/chaperone...

Kurt Russel as the kid who kicks Elvis in the shin in It Happened at the Worlds Fair.
Also fun to watch this movie if you live in the Seattle area because you get to see how much the Seattle Center has changed since the fair, and how much it hasn't.
