Best Cameo Appearance of All Time?
5/26/06 | Reaganesque

Posted on 05/26/2006 3:31:32 PM PDT by Reaganesque

It's the beginning of the Memorial Day weekend. We've had our silliness thread to start things off now, how about this:

Who do you think had the best cameo performance in any movie or TV show? You know, someone who had a bit part but stole the show for you.

There's quite a few to choose from but I would have to mention:

Billy Crystal and Carol Kane in "The Princess Bride"
Bye, bye boys! Have fun storming the castle!

Marcel Marceau (famous French mime) in Mel Brook's movie "Silent Movie." The movie is totally silent but for Marceau's response to Mel Brook's character's invitation to be in his new movie: "No."

Much as I don't agree with him politically at all, truth is that Alec Baldwin's cameo in "Glegarry Glen Ross" was outstanding, especially when you consider the other talent in that flick.

I don't remember Heston in Wayne's World 2. What did he do? I do remember Robert Patrick's cameo in one of the movies appearing as the T-1000 from Terminator 2. He pulled over the boys and asked them if they had seen John Connor. Wayne and Garth scream and peel out. Pretty funny!

Oh shoot, you took my Marcel line. When you have a silent movie and the only one who talks is a world famous mime. You have a classic.
O.K. second choice. TV. Richard Nixon on Laugh In saying "Sock it to me" five o'clock Nixon shadow and all!

:-) They're the luckier for it. I did them a great injustice when I assigned him to the position! ;-)

Rush was on the Drew Carey show once... may not be the best of all time, but he was funny!

Roscoe Lee Browne in an old "Barney Miller" episode where he played an escaped convict captured by the boys in blue at the old one-two.

The scene in the movie Malice where he played a doc and he admits to having a God complex was priceless
