To open an old discussion... If an actor who had previously starred in a soap then got a juicy role in a hit show, I wouldn't call him an unknown.

I may have known - only tangentially - that Josh Duhamel was on All My Children before starring in Las Vegas, but it was enough for me to not consider him a "relative unknown".

Dancing with the Stars with... Cameron Mathison. He's a "Star" according to who's definition? -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 09:01
Unless they're reached HUGE soap star status (Susan Lucci) I'd say it's fair descriptor. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 12, 08:56
If I don't know a dude, considering I pay more attention to stuff like this than an average dude, then he is a relative unknown. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 08:43
I'd call him a guy getting his big break, not a known actor. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 08:41 1
- well, *now* he's a known actor, right? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:45
Also, note that Unknown may not mean "not known to the public", but rather "unknown potential" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:40 1
- "obscure" versus "untested", I mean. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:43
... one word: Routh. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:40
