Didn’t Harrison Ford have an uncredited cameo in Jimmy Hollywood? I seem to recall a cameo as the credits were rolling. He was reading for a role in the film.
And what about Robin Williams in Shakes the Clown?
What about Robin William’s voice in A.I as the animated professor?
He gets around doesn’t he?
Martin Scorsese in Taxi Driver
Robert Duvall in The Conversation
Samuel L. Jackson in Out of Sight.
Of all Hitchcock’s cameos, I think my favorite was Life Boat.
Since the movie mostly took place in a small boat and there wasn’t a lot of extras, he shows up as the before and after picture in a weight loss ad. He had lost a significant amount of weight right before this picture was filmed.
From The Great Muppet Caper:
Peter Ustinov: “What are you doing here?!”
Oscar The Grouch: “A very brief cameo.”
Peter Ustinov: “Me too.”
“Cigars!”
Christian Slater woke up Captain Sulu.
The Clash as Street Scum in The King Of Comedy.
Where did this happen? What scene?
David Bowie in Yellowbeard as The Shark.
Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy (as their Trading Places characters Mortimer and Randolph Duke) in Coming to America.
He does indeed. Have you looked at his IMDB page? He’s got a series of uncredited and pseudonymous appearances (including as “Sudy Nim”) throughout his career, including the startling uncredited appearance as Andy Kaufman’s grandmother in 1979.
Sly Stalone makes an uncredited cameo in Staying Alive
The greatest (&saddest) 3 Stooges cameo ever IMO was Curly Howard appearing as the sleeping train passanger in the sort Hold that Lion. Shemp rejoins the Stooges (for the first time since they became movie-famous) and Curly is post-stroke and in his last Stooge film. IIRC he could not walk or talk at the time but he was there performing. Bittersweet/sad cameo.
Francois Truffaut in E.T.
Samuel L. Jackson in Kill Bill.
He was the organist at the wedding.
Menocchio, that’s in Vol 2, which isn’t out yet. According to www.imdb.com, he doesn’t appear in volume 1.
Chuck Yeager, the man who broke the sound barrier in the X-1, played a bartender in a couple of scenes in The Right Stuff.
Truffaut was in Close Encounters, not E.T., and it was virtually a starring role, not a cameo.
Actually, he was credited (sort of), as Walter Matuschanskayasky
There is a bizarre gem of a movie called The Magic Christian with Peter Sellers and one of the Beatles. There is a cameo in the movie that just knocks me out but to give it away would spoil it. The movie is worth seeing for its own sake.
But the movie with surprise appearances to beat anything I’ve ever seen is The List of Adrian Messenger.
:smack:
if he didn’t use his own name, wouldn’t that qualify as a cameo?
The Mel Gibson flick Maverick has a whole slew of cameos as the passengers of the casino-riverboat at the end of the film. Mostly country-western musicians (with the oddly notable exception of Alice Cooper. Yeah, that Alice Cooper), with a fair number of older western movie and tv stars and stuntmen.
Bruce Campbell (the chin) has a cameo at the end of Darkman. The studio nixed him as the original lead, in favor of Liam Neeson, claiming Campbell couldn’t pull off the serious dramatic leading role. (Did they read the shooting script? Serious drama?)
He also turned up in another Raimi flick as the ring announcer in Spider-Man. Don’t recall if that one was credited, or not.
Gyrate’s post has caused me to go diggin’ for my old videotape of Yellowbeard, now…
