Well, he was in "Citizen Kane", but I wouldn't call that a cameo.
What cameos has Rob Reiner done besides the filmmaker in "This is
Spinal Tap"? I don't know if you could count the role he played in
"Postcards from the Edge". I guess that was a cameo.

| Stephen King has a habit of doing so, had a part in Creepshow, a cameo
in Creepshow II as a truck driver, Pet Semetary as a Priest at a
funeral, and I forget what in other movies he wrote....

| 414.5 | Michael Powell | 41188::HELSOM | | Sat Jan 15 1994 14:17 | 16 |
| A very telling cameo is Michael Powell's in Peeping Tom.
The villain of the film is a film cameraman who uses a rigged camera to murder
women and record their deaths. He's this way inclined because his father, a
psychologist, terrorised him as a child because of a bizarre theory about child
development. In the villain's home movies (which he shows to a women he loves
and is trying hard not to kill), Michael Powell is the father and his son
Columba the young murderer.
The main theme of the film is a good metaphor for Powell's handling of women in
films (epitomised in The Red Shoes, but pretty pervasive): he sets them up as
objects of art then shows them being destroyed by the desires of those looking
at them (implicitly viewers of the film as well as within the film). Peeping
Tom, and his cameo appearance, suggests that he knew exactly what he was doing.

| And don't forget about Alfred Hitchcock
When Lifeboat came out ( which takes place entirely aboard a boat
with a set number of characters ) everyone wondered how he would make
his cameo.
His profile appeared on the page of a newspaper one of the
characters was reading :-)

| Wasn't John Landis one of the gunmen in "Into the Night" which he directed ?
Loved the bit where they ransack the appartment, shooting the parrot when it
squarks.

George Lucas in line to get on a ride.
Martha Coolidge as a security guard.
Barbet Schroeder as the owner of a fancy car Eddie "borrows".
There were definitely more...

He played a nightclub owner in "After Hours" as well. Weird, but good
movie, BTW.

| When I saw "2010:Odyssey Two" in the theater, I was prepared for the
cameo; alas, the wide-screen film was chopped when it appeared on HBO.
So, the people who missed the theater run of "2010" will miss...
Arthur C. Clarke sitting on the park bench in Washington DC, feeding
the pigeons, while Dr. Floyd and the NCA director are discussing the
collapsing orbit of the Discovery spacecraft.
Fortunately, I have a photo of ACC in the film souvenir book. ;^)

Not that it's new, but in The Blues Brothers (among many cameos)
Steven Spielberg was the Cook County clerk who was out to lunch.
