Odd cameos in films that are often missed

I had started a thread and someone did the same thing there. Reading through this thread is causing me flashbacks.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but John Landis often had directors make cameos in his films. Also, singer Stephen Bishop who did the Animal House theme makes a cameo (by my definition) in the same film.

 

buster keaton in sunset blvd.
he is one of the "waxworks" at norma desmond's bridge game
he has only one line, "pass"

 

marcel marceau in silent move. he is the only actor who has spoken line, "no!"

 

stephen king -pet semetary
he plays the minister at missy's funeral

 

james dicky in deliverance a nasty sheriff

 

marshall mc luhan- annie hall

 

"I gave my love a chicken that had no bone..."

 

roman polanski cutting jack nicholson nose in chinatown

 

that was actually a very old british folk song called the riddle song
the reason the chicken has no bone is because it is pipping- gestating in the egg about ready to be hatched.

 

You don't say.
What about the cherry that had no stone?

 

a cherry has no stone when it is blooming.

 

stephen bishop had a few cameos in john landis' movies, and he was always charming :
he was the charming guy in the kentucky fried movie
he was the charming guy with the guitar in animal house
he was the charming state trooper in animal house
he was the charming g.i. in the time out section of the twilight zone

 

How are these cameos that were "often missed"?

Woody explicitly introduces McLuhan!

 

there are a few more cameos in the 1978 invasion of the body snatchers:
don seigel {the director of the original) as a cabby
director philip kaufman as a guy bugging donald sutherland when he is on the pay phone.
even cinematographer michael chapman as a janitor

 

there is a lot of unbilled cameos in fellini's roma
anna magnani and gore vidal are the most obvious
there are also chuck mc cann, a very dennis christopher and cassandra peterson (elvira)
finally there is marcello mastroianni unrecognizable in a scuba suit

 

Robert Duvall in a 1967 episode of The Time Tunnel titled Chase Through Time:




I remember when I first became aware of this. I was up at 2AM, this was in the late '80s, I was zombified just sitting in front of the TV and on came a rerun of The Time Tunnel then...I saw Robert Duvall. I even think I shouted, "OH NO -- IT'S ROBERT DUVALL!!!"

 

Cat Stevens in "Harold and Maude". He is at the funeral, wearing a hat.

Christopher Walken in "The Sentinal" as a police man. Bit part.

 

Lars Ulrich in Hemingway & Gellhorn (2012)

 

Martin Scorsese's brief cameo in his film "Hugo" as the photographer in Melie's flashback
scenes.

 

So does Dennis Hopper.

 

Where in Nashville? Richard Baskin kind of resembles him.

 

David Nelson was in a Cheech and Chong movie

 

NRPS David Nelson or Rick's brother?

 

NRPS...
It may have been in Up In Smoke?

 

That makes sense coming from you.
