1. - Louise Fletcher, Exorcist II: The Heretic, 1977. One of the few times a woman played a man's role.   So many guys refused it, John Boorman even   tried TV cop Starsky for the shrink.   He later played a shrink in John Huston's Phobia. Badly.  

2. - John Ratzenberger, A Bridge Too Far, 1977.   Once Starksy and Hutch concluded, film scripts began arriving.   "None of which were suitable - like this mammoth project which you can get lost in."
