A friend of mine has a conspiracy theory that every actor works for the Walt Disney company, and that in order to become famous, they all have to do at least one disney movie at some point in time.

Including animated voices and films produced by Miramax, I think they might be right. The best I got was Nicole Kidman, who was in BMX Bandits, the rights to which were purchased by Disney AFTER its completion so she still worked for them (just after the fact, so to speak)

Can anyone think of a famous actor that has never worked for Disney?

He was in "The Aviator", which is Miramax, which is owned by Disney, I believe...

Disney is the largest studio in Hollywood with the largest amount of affiliate companies worldwide, there is a chance that every actor in the last 20 years has had something to do with Disney at one point of another.

I gathered this information from the Disney Corporate Information (http://corporate.disney.go.com/) website.

How about Leonard Nimoy (the original Star Trek,(Only real Star Trek))

I think that whole crew came from the era where you had to appear on Rod Serling's "Outer Limits" to be famous.
