I am going to talk to you about the extra named, Alexander Rhodes.
You have never heard of his name before have you? But according to IMDB, he is in a staring lead on Tom Cruise's movie, Jack Reacher as the Suspicious Onlooker.

How did this happen?
Apparently, he posted a photo of him being an extra in the film and uploaded it on the site called reddit. It was received very well by the redditors. Now, his page on IMDB, got a lot of views because of his post. We're talking about a thousand of views. As it turns out, IMDB rank the cast based on its profile traffic and that is how Alexander Rhodes got above Tom Cruise on the lead role and how he is now ranked as Number 8 on IMDB's STARmeter; next to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Chris Hemsworth, and Tom Hardy.
It's funny how a simple guy was made star by a huge community. It's funny how much impact a simple online community could make to a persons life and how they unknowingly made a man's dream come true.
So when you decide to watch Jack Reacher, make sure to look for some suspicious onlooker.
