Another star was born

Both Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey could safely claim that Dirty Dancing made them superstars. However, they’re not the only ones who would credit this movie for their fame. One actor who also made his debut in the movie was none other than comedian Wayne Knight, who would later star as Newman in Seinfeld, as well as be cast in blockbusters like Jurassic Park and Basic Instinct, to name just a few.
