True, but he was already an established star. Ever heard of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" or "Blackadder"?

I think I remember seeing Matthew Mcconaughey in "Doc Hollywood" with M J Fox.
He was on lying on a table, turned his head and puked.

Caught the last 1/3 of Anchorman on TV the other day and noticed this as well. IIRC he has one or two lines. He was also a recurring character in Freaks and Geeks back in the day though...
