I think I'd disagree with the assertion about Elijah Wood, Deep Impact was a pretty big film and he had a key role in that. He also had many other roles before that in some pretty notable films, especially The Faculty and heck, he was playing alongside Kevin Costner in 1994!
Perhaps I am just old, and a keen film watcher, but I wouldn't describe him as a lesser known actor at that point in his career.
Also, Sean Bean has long been a well known supporting actor. Anna Karenina, Goldeneye, Patriot Games, etc. But I would concede that he's very much more well known in the UK because of his TV roles, especially Sharpe which ran for 7 series. Again, not a lesser known actor if you're playing the bad guy in a Bond film.
Wiley Wiggins is an actor - he played the kid "Mitch Kramer" in Richard Linklater's (excellent) 1993 film _Dazed n' Confused_ - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazed_and_Confused He's been in several other movies including Love & a .45, The Faculty, Waking Life, and Sorry, Thanks.
Now he's working on a kickstarter project, an iPad game called Thunderbeam! - check it out: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wileywiggins/thunderbeam-for-the-ipad
There's also Ashton Kutcher, who said at TechCrunch disrupt that he had learned a bit of programming in college, but I'm not sure he would consider himself a programmer.
It's true! I saw it in the movie The Faculty!
