Hope Davis as Ticket Agent
Remember Hope Davis in “Home Alone”? She’s the almost heroic ticket agent in France, helping the McCallisters in their quest to, well, not be home alone. Caring but caught in a web of airline red tape, she gave it her all but couldn’t untangle the mess the McCallisters had created.

The funny thing is, Davis was so deep in the supporting cast that only the most obsessed fans could point her out in a line-up. But here’s the kicker: her minor role was like a quiet audition for Hollywood. Her nuanced performance earned her a one-way ticket to many more cinematic adventures.
