Iconic music video actors that are unrecognizable today

Channing Tatum never drew much fame from his role in Ricky Martin's video for "She Bangs." Katy Perry didn't become famous by starring alongside P.O.D. in "Goodbye for Now." Nonetheless, a music video can make or break an actor's career. It can turn an average person into an absolute icon. This is none more apparent than in the '80s when Courteney Cox got her big break in Bruce Springsteen's video for "Dancing in the Dark," but not every music video actor becomes a megastar.
Everyone gets their 15 minutes, and these actors in iconic music videos have used up more than their fair share. While some have been able to parlay their fame in to a long-lasting career, most have returned to a private life. In fact, you probably wouldn't even recognize them from the starring video roles. From Ola Ray, the woman who fell in love with Michael Jackson on the set of "Thriller," to Alyson Stoner, the girl who danced her childhood away in Missy Elliott's music videos, these iconic music video stars are absolutely unrecognizable, fame or not.
