One of my favorites is Jay Silverheels (Tonto) as a Seminole Indian in the Humphrey Bogart/Edward G. Robinson film Key Largo.
Or an Aztec in Captain from Castille, opposite Tyrone Powers and Cesar Romero (as Hernando Cortez).
McQueen.
Betty White on Community She was in a few episodes as a crazy anthropology teacher.
Good on her! Always liked her.
You can spot a young Jim Broadbent (later famous for Brazil, Harry Potter, Topsy-Turvy, Iris, Cloud Atlas and now on Game of Thrones) as a smarmy minion in Time Bandits: http://1125996089.rsc.cdn77.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Time-Bandits-4.jpg
Mary Tyler Moore playing a saloon girl in *Wanted Dead or Alive.

MTM as “Second Spanish Girl” (on Puerto Rico) at the very end of “Strike Force” (1959), episode no. 28 of Steve Canyon. A five-second silent walk-on; blink and you’ll miss her. On the other hand, she’s instantly recognizable!
Commodore Stone?!? :eek:
Georgia Engel, aka “Georgette Franklin Baxter” on ***MTM ***, as the mother of Lyndsey, Alan’s hot girlfriend, on Two and a Half Men.
That’s as far as you go, sir!
The star of that short film played John Smith’s father, Herb, in Cronenberg’s, “The Dead Zone,” but I had to look that up, as I didn’t recognize him.
In Amedeus, Salieri hires a young woman to be a servant for Mozart and a spy for him. It’s Cynthia Nixon.
Jon Pertwee has a small role in *A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum *a few years before he became the third Doctor. I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard his voice the first time I saw that movie.

I was blown away when I realized Christopher Guest was both Nigel Tufnel in This Is Spinal Tap and Count Drogan (the six fingered man) in Princess Bride. QUOTE]
Throw in the Doctor testifying in A Few Good Men , and you really see his ability to become the character. He is one you can see in several roles, and never see the actor.
That’s why he is my favorite, and I consider him the best around.
the actor who played Vito on the Sopranos also was in an earlier episode where he played a customer in a store as a different character.
Bob Hastings, aka “Lt. Elroy Carpenter” in McHale’s Navy, was an office drone in “I Dream of Genie” on Twilight Zone the other night.
He also played a downed Russian pilot in an episode of Hogan’s Heroes.
Also in, “Poseidon Adventure,” as the NYE party MC.
The one, true Superman - George Reeves - showed up in Gone With the Wind.
Yes, one of the Tarlton twins who courted Scarlet.
Apparently both were shot with kryptonite bullets.
Forgive my digression, but science fiction author William F. Nolan wrote an episode of Wanted Dead or Alive that I just watched, Mental Lapse.
I recall that Gene Roddenberry wrote an episode of the TV series, Alias Smith and Jones, the Girl in Boxcar something.
Julie “Catwoman” Newmar as The Devil in “Of Late I Think of Cliffordville,” last night’s Twilight Zone.
Other actors included Guy Raymond, John Harmon, and John Anderson, all of whom appeared in episodes of Star Trek (TOS and TNG).
