Default Great Cameos

I recently watched X-Men First Class and the Wolverine cameo was just so awesome! Gave me an idea for this thread

List your favorite cameos.

Some that come to mind for me are:

Bill Murray as himself (Zombieland)
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (X-Men First Class)
Tom Cruise as Les Grossman (Tropic Thunder)

I'm sure there are a lot of memorable ones!

Alfred Hitchcok in everything.



Not a movie, but I enjoyed seeing Richard Belzer make a cameo in The Wire as John Munch.

Bob Saget in Half Baked is unquestionably the greatest cameo of all time.

Some of these already mentioned but:

- Will Farrell in Wedding Crashers
- NPH in all of the Harold and Kumar movies
- David Bowie in Zoolander
- Bill Murray in Zombieland
- Tom Cruise and Matthew Mcconaughey in Tropic Thunder (if those count)

Here's one that I didn't remember and I don't think most people know about, even though they know the scene:




And then of course there is Entourage which has some wicked cameos, my favorite being Eminem, Tom Brady (My favorite episode) and James Woods.

This is not a cameo. A cameo is a brief unexpected appearance meant to provoke recognition. The T1000 in Waynes World thing is a good example. Alec Baldwin had a part in the movie.

Speaking of which. There is a deleted scene in the Avengers featuring Captain America that had the best Stan Lee cameo. Shame they took it out.

So you just going to call me out, or perhaps mention all the other cameos in this thread that don't meet your expectations of what is allowed? The freaking OP has credited roles (and so do many responses, like the one above this post), so I took my queue from that.

I'm also going to nominate the running shoe in the space battle at the end of Return of the Jedi as a great cameo.

I liked the whole Cap scene, really put some context to him being a fish out of water.

I wouldn't get so bent out shape about it dude.

But yeah, a bunch of other people have listed roles that are actually just small parts and not cameos. I think it is worth noting that a lot of these aren't really cameos but this isn't exactly an official list or anything so I don't think it is a big deal.
