If you know James Dumont as a middle aged bear, you may be surprised to find that he began his acting career in 1980, at the age of fifteen.
He got his first headshot courtesy of his uncle that year, and used it to get an uncredited role as "Kid Dancing in the Street" in The Blues Brothers.
Here's another 1980 shot. Definite Tiger Beat fave rave vibe. He might have been another Shaun Cassidy (top photo: Shaun for comparison).
In 1982, James got some more head and body shots for his acting/modeling career. I'm thinking the rural craze, someone who belongs on The Waltons or Little House on the Prairie.
Instead he got two more uncredited roles: In Listen to Your Heart (1983), a romcom starring Tim Matheson, left, and Kate Jackson.

James got another uncredited role in Class (1983), a teen sex comedy starring Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy.

In 1990, James understudied for several characters in the the gay-themed Six Degrees of Separation on Broadway. But we had to wait until 1994 for him to start in Speed with Keanu Reeves, beginning his long and illustrious career in tv and film.
