AKA assmebling an ensemble cast, many of whom would later become very successful.
I rewatched The Rutles the other week. Of course, the producers had roped in various Monty Python alumni and their associates (Idle, Palin, Innes), but I'd compltely forgotten that Dan Akroyd, John Belushi and Bill Murray were also in it. Obviously they were knownn in the US for Saturday NIght Live, but this was before the likes of Caddyshack and The Blues Brothers made them world-famous. (Although, to be honest, Ron Wood's cameo made me laugh the most.)
The other one that springs to mind is Nathan Barley (which age has been kind to). which features Ben Whishaw, Richard Ayoade and Benerdict Cumberbatch, among several others.
