6
7A one-off appearance by someone, such as a character or a real person, who otherwise isn't part of the work. Such appearances may include references to another work; in the case of a character, it could be the work they came from, and in the case of a real person, it could be another work they worked on.

9The term originated with producer Mike Todd, when he was describing the literally hundreds of Hollywood and foreign movie stars who made brief appearances in the original 1956 film version of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Around_the_World_in_80_Days_(1956_film)#Cameo_appearances ''Around The World In 80 Days.'']]

11May be a OneSceneWonder and/or a BigLippedAlligatorMoment. See also SpecialGuest, StuntCasting, and {{Tuckerization}}. Contrast {{Crossover}} and {{Transplant}}, for when the appearance is a major part of the work instead of a one-off thing.

43* ''ARG/OmegaMart'': Country musician Music/WillieNelson makes a guest appearance in a couple of [[https://youtu.be/FO12HZJu0NE web ads]]. While his inclusion is meant to be a commentary on how untrustworthy [[DigitalHeadSwap deepfakes]] are, Meow Wolf was still able to get him to record original lines for the adverts.
44[[/folder]]
45
46[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
47* In the last episode of ''Manga/AttackOnTitanJuniorHigh'', there's a Titan with long hair and sunglasses that yells out "Bravo!!" as Levi sings. That Titan was [[Music/SoundHorizon Revo of Linked Horizon]], the singer of the band of the same name who did the opening songs of this and [[Manga/AttackOnTitan the main series]].
48** Similar to that, in episode 11 of the series, Farlan and Isabel from the No Regrets light novel both appear to watch Jean's Snow White play as audience members.
49* In episode 2 of ''VideoGame/{{Aikatsu}}'', there's a [[http://animenityan.up.seesaa.net/30e83634.jpg background character]] who looks exactly like [[http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Lalah_Sune Lalah Sune]] from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', which isn't that surprising considering [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment the companies]] [[Creator/{{Sunrise}} who own this franchise]]
50* The ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' manga has dozens of cameos, mostly of fighting game characters, especially during the first TournamentArc.
51* In the second episode of ''Manga/GAGeijutsukaArtDesignClass'' anime, characters from [[Manga/ShoulderACoffinKuro Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro]], the mangaka's other work, can be seen in the background.
52* ''Manga/FairyTail'' has a few cameos especially from the creator's previous manga ''Manga/RaveMaster'', such as Plue appearing as one of Lucy's Celestial Spirits. This was lampshaded in the first ''Fairy Tail'' and ''Rave Master'' crossover.
53* ''Manga/LoveLucky'': In chapter 56, Yura and Makoto (from mangaka Katsu Aki's more famous work, ''Manga/FutariEcchi'') have a walk on cameo as they pass by Kirari, who jealously contemplates how much she wants to be a "normal happy couple" like they are.
54* ''Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica'' has Charlotte, a [[EnsembleDarkhorse popular]] witch from [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica the parent series]], make a brief appearance in chapter 3. Doubles as a MythologyGag, considering the circumstances.
55** [[spoiler: Kyubey]] makes a cameo in Chapter 4 of ''Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica''. [[spoiler:Subverted in Chapter 5 [[ChekhovsGunman where he plays a larger role in the plot.]]]] Mami and Kyoko make brief appearances in later chapters.
56** The third volume of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica: The Different Story'' has a brief appearance of Michuru Kazusa from ''Kazumi Magica''.

58* The main characters of ''Manga/MyLittleMonster'' appear as ogres in the anime version of ''Manga/HozukisCoolheadedness''.
59* Isaac and Miria from ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' make appearances in a few episodes of ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'', establishing the series' shared universe.
60* ''Manga/HelenESP'' has a a cameo by Katsuhisa's other work ''Manga/FrankenFran'''s main character, Fran, in an extra chapter. She gives Helen a wish for saving one of her creations. [[spoiler:She asks to read Braille faster.]]
61* Sawa, the lead character from Yasuomi Umetsu's infamous OAV ''Anime/Kite'', makes a cameo during the same director's later ''Anime/MezzoForte''; she can be seen walking past the car window and glancing inside when Kurokawa is talking to the detective during the film's opening minutes.
62* Despite being made by different people, Katz from ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' made a brief cameo on Panty's shirt in the diet episode of ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEQzVr-Sx6E it was even on an infamous scene/internet fad]].
63* ''Anime/UruseiYatsura'' has a few OneSceneWonder examples. [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] isn't a OneSceneWonder in virtue of him appearing in two scenes, enough to establish him as a delinquent and pick a fight against Kotatsu Neko (he lost).
64* Watch any of the ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars'' movies. Count how many past characters show up in one movie.
65** Played straight with ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'', where to celebrate the franchise's 10th anniversary, each one of the past 33 Cures appear in a semi-random order, starting with [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Cure Black]]... so much that they gained [[TheCameo/HappinessChargePrettyCure its own page]].
66* ''Manga/TheSwordOfParos'': In the chapter 6, Candy, Annie, Archie and Terry from ''Manga/CandyCandy'' have a picnic as they discuss the chances the protagonist Hermina has of winning the competition. Both the mangas were drawn by Yumiko Igarashi.
67* ''Anime/DualParallelTroubleAdventure'' has Kiyone Makibi, Ramia, and Misao Amano from ''Tenchi Muyo'' appear as background characters in the final OVA episode. Other ''Tenchi'' characters appear in the laser disk sleeve artwork while elements of ''Dual!'' pop up in ''Tenchi Muyo GXP''. Both shows are from the same team at AIC and are considered as part of one multiverse.
68* In the American dub of ''Anime/DuelMasters'', after Shobu defeats Kokujo, he is finally given his opportunity to duel Hakuoh and ascend to the rank of Kaijudo master, along such famous names as his father Shori and seven-time grand champion ''Series/GregTheBunny''.
69* [[Manga/SailorMoon Usagi and Naru]] appeared at the end of a ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'' manga chapter.
70* ''Manga/PsychicSquad The Unlimited'' anime, in the 5th episode, features a cameo with two of the biggest internet web video personas: both WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd
71* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oajBb73GhoM It's common for]] [[Manga/CaseClosed Conan Edogawa]] to make a minor appearance in the ''Manga/MagicKaito'' TV specials since they have a SharedUniverse. Sometimes it's a FreezeFrameBonus and other time's it's as an AsideGlance complete with a SlasherSmile and ScaryShinyGlasses.
72* Light Yagami of ''Manga/DeathNote'' has a cameo in ''Anime/DeathParade'', which were both animated by Madhouse.
73* Most of [[Creator/CoolKyouShinsha Cool-kyou Shinsha's]] works [[TheVerse take place in the same city]], so characters are often seen in the background of other series. The most commonly recurring character is Miki from ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying''.
74* ''Manga/SgtFrog'': [[Literature/KaiketsuZorori Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi]] appear briefly in the first movie, with Zorori [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] their out-of-nowhere appearance.

78** Oda Nobunari appears as a commentator, and watches JJ's short program from the stands at the Barcelona Grand Prix Final. He also appears in the preview for episode 11, in which he calls Victor and Yuri by their nicknames, comments on their matching rings, and agrees to take a photo with Yurio.
79** Honda Takeshi is a commentator at the Sochi Grand Prix Final.
80** Stéphane Lambiel announces the start of the free program at the Barcelona Grand Prix Final and seems to be an acquaintance of Victor's. He is a fan of the series and owns at least one Yuri on ICE phone case (as of 2017).
81** Muramoto Satsuki, Phichit's coach, is based on a retired skater who coaches in Thailand. Similarly, Odagaki Kanako, Minami's coach, is based on a real skater who worked with Miyamoto Kenji to choreograph the show.
82** Other skater cameos without voice roles:
83*** Evgeni Plushenko watches fellow Russian Yurio's performance in episode 9.
84*** Evgenia Medvedeva takes pictures [[spoiler:of the dance-off]] in episode 10. She has been quite vocal about her love for the show on social media, cosplayed as Yuri (using an actual Team Japan jacket), and had art drawn of her, Victor, and Yuri, by the series creator.
85*** Yuzuru Hanyu appears on the cover of an Ice Jewels magazine in his Let's Go Crazy costume, striking JJ's trademark pose along with the Canadian. [[note]]Hanyu's Canadian home rink is the Toronto Cricket Club.[[/note]]
86* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'':
87** ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' had numerous Digimon from previous series appear briefly in the background of episode 17.

93** In ''Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast2005'', when Sahasrahla is recounting the story of the Imprisoning War, Ganon's humanoid form, Ganondorf, is shown claiming the Triforce.
94** In ''Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess2016'', the King of Hyrule appears to personally sentence Ganondorf.
95* In ''Anime/PokemonLucarioAndTheMysteryOfMew'', the start of the film is revealed to be a story a mother is reading to her daughter. The duo would then go on to show up in nearly every Pokémon film (except for [=M09=] and [=M17=]) which includes the reboot timeline and ''Anime/MewtwoStrikesBackEvolution'' and then they pop up in the main series and even the music video ''A Ripple in Time!''
96[[/folder]]
97
98[[folder:Audio Plays]]
99* The ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' Third to Eighth Doctors/''AudioPlay/{{Gallifrey}}''/''Franchise/BerniceSummerfield'' crossover ''Legacy of Time: Collision Course'' has a scene in which First, Second and Tenth show up (voiced by "Twice Upon a Time"'s Creator/DavidBradley, {{AudioPlay/Big Finish|DoctorWho}}'s Creator/FrazerHines, and Actual Creator/DavidTennant) and are basically told the story is crowded enough as it is.
100[[/folder]]
101
102[[folder:Card Games]]
103* ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}} Bites! 2: Pants Macabre'' includes [[CatsAreMean The Evil]] from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' and Roger the were-coyote from ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell!!!''.
104* While the ''Anime/YuGiOh'' anime and [[Manga/YuGiOh manga]] aren't as bad, [[TabletopGame/YuGiOh the card game]] itself often features cameo appearances from various Creator/{{Konami}} game characters ([[VideoGame/GanbareGoemon Goegoe the Gallant Ninja, Lady Ninja Yae, Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke]], [[VideoGame/GetsuFumaDen Getsu Fuhma, Ryu Kokki]]) and weapons ([[VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Gradius, Victory Viper XX03, anything with B.E.S. in its name]]) as cards in the game to fill out sets and make new decktypes. Granted, while Konami rarely makes them too useful, it does make them.
105** [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Tactical Espionage Expert]], anyone?
106** There are also [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Super Vehicroid Stealth Union]] and [[Manga/GetterRobo XYZ Dragon Cannon]]. Both are a bit impractical to use, though, so don't really see competitive play.
107[[/folder]]
108
109[[folder:Comic Books]]
110* ''ComicBook/BatmanBlackAndWhite'': "A Black and White World" has an out-of-nowhere cameo by Lobo near the end. Art for the story was by Simon Bisley, who made his name in America doing the art for Lobo's first solo title.

117* Tim Leherner, a.k.a. [=TelstarMan=], is a newsanchor near the end of ''ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}}''. He attracted the attention of Creator/WarrenEllis for having a truly ridiculous number of covers of the song "Telstar" (over 130 at last count).

122* ''ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}'': ''ComicBook/Batgirl2011'' writer Babs Tarr is a big fan of anime and cartoons in general, so a lot of her crowd scenes feature cameos from famous animated characters.

123* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':

134* At least one character (Kyisha) from ''ComicBook/{{Shadoweyes}}'' has appeared in the background of ''ComicBook/JemAndTheHologramsIDW''. Sophie Campbell works on both. Another issue featured a human version of Fluttershy from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', which only adds to the [[ShoutOut multiple references]] the comic has.

166* ''Fanfic/{{Daemorphing}}'': Elizabeth from ''Podcast/SporadicPhantoms'' appears in chapter 2 of ''The Presence of Justice''. Just like in her source material, she's a voluntary Controller who even other voluntaries find weird and off-putting.

172* Fanfic writer Creator/CVGWJames has done quite a bit of cameo appearances of characters from other franchises outside of the ones he's currently writing for.

176** Lyra Heartstrings turns up briefly as a tourist who sees Leviathan sitting upright on a bench, then leaves to try the stance herself.
177** Octavia Melody is one of those who watches Leviathan and Gray's discussion on the former's clothing. The same scene reveals that she was originally a Manehattan resident, but moved to Ponyville after getting hired as a cellist in Canterlot.
178** Smooth Beat (a.k.a. "Long Play"), Vinyl Scratch's older brother from the comics, puts in an appearance as the latest pony that Limefrost wants to date for his money. It's implied that he's TheVoiceless just as much as his sister is.

180* ''Fanfic/OriginStory'' (''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' & ''ComicBook/PowerGirl''): In Chapter 29, Deadpool shows up to bug Alex, and specifically says he's just there to make a cameo in the story because a friend of the writer bet him (the writer that is) $50 that the writer wouldn't dare drop a random Deadpool cameo into the story. The writer won the bet.
181* ''Fanfic/{{SAPR}}'' (''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' & ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''): In "Belladonna" a large one-eared and one-eyed rabbit faunus shows up among the White Fang. The faunus' name? [[Literature/WatershipDown Woundwort]].

189* ''Fanfic/TheDarkerKnight'' is made of this trope, cameo characters often appearing out of nowhere and doing absolutely nothing to advance the plot.
190
191[[AC:Creator/Disney & Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon]]
192* ''Fanfic/CrownsOfTheKingdom'' briefly mentions Taran, Eilonwy, and Gurgi as 1985 is restored.

This is not the only cameo, but the others aren't as clear, most notable is the one by [[Fanfic/LightAndDarkTheAdventuresOfDarkYagami Dark Yagami]].
232
233[[AC:''VideoGame/ProjectArrhythmia'']]
234* The ''VideoGame/{{Black Heart|Ol666}}'' custom level series has cameos from King Crazy and Irqus, two characters from custom levels outside of it and by different creators.

251** While he spends most of the season at the Aftermath studio, Harold does make two cameos during the competition. First on a TV screen placed by Chris specifically to annoy Duncan in "Singin' in the Pain", and then with Leshawna in "Zeke and Ye Shall Find" to pick up the feral Ezekiel and take him to the Aftermath studio.
252** ''Celebrity Manhunt'' co-host Josh appears in the original episode "Singin' in the Pain" as a guest judge for the music competition.

266* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ASnowflakeInSpring'' has characters from a large variety of Disney and Pixar films making their appearances.
267** The institution where Hans is treated has several. Anna spots one of the patients, a black-haired woman, [[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} muttering to her reflection]]. Another patient, Adam, has "[[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast monstrous anger issues]]". [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Flora, Fauna and Merryweather]] are three elderly orderlies.
268** [[WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph Ralph and Vannellope]] have an ice cream shop, Ralph's. [[WesternAnimation/{{Up}} Carl and Russell]] appear as customers.
269* In ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfTotalDramaIsland'', several characters who debuted in the canon Season 4 (''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Revenge of the Island'') make brief appearances as [[RedShirt interns]]. WordOfGod also has it that Season 3 (''Total Drama World Tour'') debuter Sierra will have an important cameo near the end.
270* ''Fanfic/MyRidonculousRace'': In the fic's version of "The Shawshank Ridonc-tion", Bridgette makes a cameo where Geoff and Brody run into her (since she was mentioned as being in Australia in canon) while canonically Australian contestant Jasmine and her boyfriend Shawn also make cameos. Additionally, Chris [=McLean=] and Anne Maria make the same cameos they do in "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars", albeit far more extensively.
271* ''Fanfic/PeaceForgedInFire'' has brief appearances by Brokosh from ''Fanfic/RedFireRedPlanet'' (and his then-first officer Meromi Riyal, described but unnamed) and Koren, daughter of Grilka from official ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' material.
272* ''Fanfic/TheChangelingOfTheGuard'': This [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP]] fanfic has a surprise appearance by [[spoiler:JustForFun/{{Daring Do}} and Ahuizotl... whom the protagonist walks in on in the middle of one of their battles over treasure, [[AchievementsInIgnorance without having the slightest idea who either of them are.]]]]
273* ''Fanfic/SolaereSsiunHnaifvdaenn'' has the USS ''Enterprise''-F respond to reinforce the ch'M'R ''Aen'rhien''. Captain Va'kel Shon gets a line over the radio but never appears in person.
274* In ''Fanfic/DumbledoresArmyAndTheYearOfDarkness'', peripheral characters from previous books tend to drop by for a scene or two, and most likely, get killed in the process.
275* ''Fanfic/StrangeTimesAreUponUs'': Lucsly, one of the Department of Temporal Investigations agents from "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS05E06TrialsAndTribbleations Trials and Tribble-ations]]" appears in the opening scene, and has gotten a RankUp to Special Agent-in-Charge.
276* ''[[Fanfic/TheDreamJournal2 The Dream Journal 2: Life Imitates Art]]'' features cameos from Sebastian Michaelis of ''Anime/BlackButler'', Levi Ackerman of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' and, inexplicably, Ben Gibbard of ''Music/DeathCabForCutie''.
277* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': A [[spoiler:human version of [[Blog/AskFlufflePuff Fluffle Puff]]]] makes an appearance in chapter 41, albeit not named, wanting a trio dance with Night Blade and Page Turner, who accept.
278* In ''Series/Supergirl2015'' fic ''Fanfic/FutureShock'' Kara is active on Twitter and ends up exchanging tweets with people like Rachel Maddow and Gordon Ramsay.
279* In ''Fanfic/WithThisRingGreenLantern'', Carl Ferris hires Jonny Double, a private investigator created by Marv Wolfman and Len Wein in 1968 who canonically never poked his nose into the ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'' mythos.
280* ''Fanfic/TemporalAnomaly'' has plenty of these to go around:
281** Chapter 5: Series/KamenRiderBuild and Series/KamenRiderHibiki appear in the Land of Forests to fight Three's doll army.
282** Chapter 6: [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Kamen Rider Poppy]] appears in both of her Asuna and Poppy personas forms. They return in Chapter Ten.
283** Chapter 9, [[spoiler: the Flower takes the form of [[Series/KamenRiderZiO Ora]] in Sougo's mind.]] In that same chapter, [[spoiler: a figment of Tsukuyomi arrives to free Sougo from the Flower's mind trap completely.]]

288[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
289* All Creator/{{Pixar}} movies have cameos of characters and items from other Pixar movies, including ones [[EarlyBirdCameo whose movies have yet to be released]].
290** All Pixar films also have a role with John Ratzenberger. While usually a credited supporting character, he has occasionally performed as an extra that is essentially just a cameo, such as the Underminer in ''Franchise/TheIncredibles'' and as a construction worker in ''Up''.
291** In ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', one of Bonnie's toys is a plush [[Anime/MyNeighborTotoro Totoro]]. Also, one of the students in the Butterfly Room at Sunnyside Daycare is a little girl resembling Boo from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc,'' who for some reason likes to play with [[StealthPun a blue stuffed kitten]] to which she says, "Boo!"
292** There's a particularly awesome one in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'' for anyone who is into animation history. Those two old men who praise the heroes after the climax ("That's the way to do it" - "No school like the old school") are ''Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston''...Not ringing a bell? They were the last surviving two of Creator/DisneysNineOldMen, legendary animators who had been in the business practically since the beginning. For example, they were both animators on ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', and were involved in practically every animated Disney project up to ''WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheHound''. (Sadly, Thomas didn't live to see ''The Incredibles'' finished, and Johnston died in 2008.)
293** In '' WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'', Dash at one point watches '' WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'', while Music/{{Usher}}, a self-proclaimed Frozone fan, plays the chauffeur who gushes over him.
294* Also in some of the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon films. Remember that lion skin WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} was wearing? That was actually [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Scar!]]
295** Also, the many appearances of WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'s mother.
296** In ''{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}}'', while the Genie is looking through a book of recipes, he finds one for "Alaskan King Crab". He sticks in his finger and gets it pinched by Sebastian, the crab from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}''.
297** Although not a Disney character, ''Film/TheIncredibleMrLimpet'' can be seen in the background during the "Under The Sea" number in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}''.
298** Belle can be seen walking the streets of Paris in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}''.
299** [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Mrs. Potts and Chip]] (their teapot/teacup forms) are part of the Porters' china set in ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}''.
300** Chip's human design at the end ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' is also obviously taken from Cody, the protagonist of the previous year's ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder''.
301** [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel and Flynn]] are seen walking into the Arendelle castle in ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''.
302* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'', Manolo's operatic ancestor, Skeleton Jorge, was played by RealLife opera singer Placido Domingo.
303** Manny Rivera and Frida Suárez from another of Jorge R. Gutierrez's works, ''WesternAnimation/ElTigre,'' can be seen in a crowd scene towards the beginning of the film.
304* The main cast of ''Franchise/{{Madagascar}}'' only shows up as a shadow behind a circus tent at the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar''. [[spoiler:Mort and King Julien show up during TheStinger, though.]]
305* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater'':
306** Supporting characters Mrs. Puff, Larry the Lobster, and Pearl make very brief appearances (Larry appearing at the Krusty Krab shot at the end, with Pearl appearing only during the end credits). One-shot characters like Bubble Bass and Flats the Flounder (who hasn't made an appearance since "The Bully") also show up at one point.
307** [=EpicLloyd=] and [=NicePeter=] from ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'' show up as live-action surfers.
308* In ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'', Creator/TexAvery's WesternAnimation/RedHotRidingHood can be seen in the "If I Didn't Have You" musical number.
309* WesternAnimation/DCAnimatedMovieUniverse:
310** ''WesternAnimation/SonOfBatman'' sees the Joker and Two-Face among Arkham's inmates when Batman visits to see Killer Croc.
311** ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDarkApokolipsWar'' sees Toymaker, Giganta, Weather Wizard, Brick, and Zsasz among those watching Harley and Lois fight at the ruins of Stryker's Island.
312* In ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolfDunkForFuture'', the aliens from the ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' television show season ''The Intriguing Alien Guests'' are among the spectators at the goats' big baseball game with Team Tiger.
313* ''WesternAnimation/TopCatAndTheBeverlyHillsCats'': To get to the Vandergelt mansion, the gang hitches a ride on the back of a tourist bus that's showing people all the fancy houses and people of Beverly Hills. While passing through the neighborhood, [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone, Wilma Flintstone, and Dino]] can be seen in one yard, and Barney and Betty Rubble are in the next yard over.

315[[/folder]]
316
317[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
318* ''Film/ElCamino'' is set up immediately after ''Series/BreakingBad'''s series finale, so [[VillainProtagonist Walter White]], Mike Ehrmantraut, Todd Alquist, and Jane Margolis are all dead at this point in the franchise. However, the film features flashbacks to the series' timeline displaying encounters with each of them we hadn't previously seen.
319* ''Film/SoulsForSale'', a 1923 silent film about an actress trying to make her way in Hollywood, has a bunch of cameos from actors and the directors of the day, including some directors on the sets of real movies. The heroine acts for Creator/CharlieChaplin on the set of ''A Woman of Paris'' but can't get a part in Erich von Stroheim's ''Film/{{Greed}}''.
320* Eighties rock singer Music/{{Huey Lewis|And The News}}, who sung the theme song "The Power of Love", shows up in the first ''Film/BackToTheFuture1'' movie as a prom band audition judge... to denounce his own song as being "just too darn loud".
321* Creator/AlfredHitchcock movies are famous for [[CreatorCameo this]].
322** As a matter of fact, his habit of doing a cameo in each of his films became so well known that he began doing it as early in each film as possible so that the audience would focus on the plot and the actors instead of looking for him through the whole movie.
323** Slightly altered for Lifeboat. Since he obviously couldn't be actually present on the boat, his PICTURE is in the before/after pictures in the newspaper ad for "Reduco Obesity Slayer".
324* Several in ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle'':
325** Creator/RyanReynolds shows up as a nurse with a fetish for capable surgeons.
326** Christopher Meloni as tow-truck driver Freakshow.
327** Malin Ackerman as Freakshow's beautiful wife.
328** Creator/AnthonyAnderson as the Burger Shack employee who... makes the special sauce extra special.
329** And of course, Creator/NeilPatrickHarris.
330* Creator/JudiDench in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides''.
331* Creator/StephenKing makes at least a token appearance in many of his movies. Some, by his own admission, are rather poorly played, while others maintain a sort of tongue-in-cheek level of amusement.
332* Film/{{JFK}} by Creator/OliverStone is one of the best examples of this, regardless of what the viewer may think of the premise. Virtually every scene features a well-known actor making an unannounced appearance.
333* One of the first films to make use of The Cameo was the late silent era comedy ''Film/ShowPeople'', a satire of Hollywood moviemaking, which featured cameos from film stars of the day, including huge stars such as Douglas Fairbanks and Creator/CharlieChaplin.
334* All of Franchise/TheMuppets movies were chock full of cameos. Listing them all would take the whole page, but a pair are in the picture above.[[note]]Specifically, Peter Ustinov and Oscar the Grouch.[[/note]]
335* ''Film/StormyWeather'' has a plethora of famous entertainers of the 30s and 40s showing up: Music/CabCalloway, the Nicholas brothers, Fats Waller, and Ada Brown, just to name a few in a film that also stars Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and Lena Horne.
336* A few cameos popped up in the original ''Franchise/ThePinkPanther'' film series, but the biggest one turns up at the end of ''Film/CurseOfThePinkPanther'' to write out Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau: Clouseau had MagicPlasticSurgery, and though he's as big a fool as ever, he now looks like/is played by ''[[spoiler:Creator/RogerMoore!]]''
337* The ThunderingHerd sequence at the start of the ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'' film ''Big Trouble In Nekonron, China'' and the crowd of guests for the Tendos' Christmas party in one of the {{OVA}}s are both liberally strewn with characters from throughout both the TV series and the manga.
338* [[Creator/StanLee Stan "The Man" Lee]] has so many [[TheCameo/StanLee he gets his own page]]!
339* Action and horror filmmaker Takashi Miike had a cameo in Eli Roth's action/horror film ''Film/{{Hostel}}''.
340* ''Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld'' has cameos from most of the comic actors of the time.
341** Film/TheThreeStooges appear for seconds as firefighters. And are hilarious. Without even doing anything.
342* Creator/PeterJackson can be seen in in the opening scenes of ''Film/HotFuzz'' as a knife-wielding Father Christmas.
343** Also, fellow ''Rings'' alumnus Creator/CateBlanchett appears as Creator/SimonPegg's ex-girlfriend... who is only seen with a mask covering her face.
344** Jackson also inserted himself into his [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings LOTR films]]: in [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing the first]] as a carrot munching drunk, in [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers the second]] as a human at the Battle of Helm's Deep (above the entrance gate), and in [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing the third]] as a pirate sailor. His kids also appear in three films.
345** Likewise, he inserts himself into ''Film/TheHobbit'' films. In ''[[Film/TheHobbitAnUnexpectedJourney An Unexpected Journey]]'', he's a dwarf fleeing Smaug in the prologue. In ''[[Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug The Desolation of Smaug]]'', he's a guy eating a carrot in Bree.
346** He also has a brief (but fairly noticeable) appearance in the film version of ''Film/TheLovelyBones''. He's making a home movie in the store that Jack goes to to get Susie's camera film developed.
347** Peter Jackson apparently loves to insert himself into his own movies for stretches of time lasting a few seconds: this habit of his goes back to ''Film/HeavenlyCreatures''! (He's the homeless guy Juliet Hulme hugs as she and Pauline exit a movie theater towards the beginning of the film.)
348** He was the mortician's assistant in ''Film/BrainDead''.
349** And in one of the ''many'' homages in his remake of ''Film/KingKong2005'', he's the pilot of the first biplane to be downed by Kong, just as the original's director piloted the only plane Kong destroyed in the original.
350** Also in ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug'', Creator/StephenColbert gets a cameo as one of the Master of Lake-Town's minions.
351* The children of the various directors of the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films inevitably find themselves in Hogwarts crowd scenes. Creator/ChrisColumbus's daughter Eleanor played Hannah Abbott (a non-speaking role) in the first two movies.
352* Creator/GeorgeLucas' children also get a couple of cameos in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' prequel trilogy. And, in the third episode, so does George Lucas.
353** To pay Steven Spielberg back for the ''Star Wars'' references in ''ET'', Lucas decided to include him in his next ''Star Wars'' movie. [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Children_of_the_Green_Planet In ''Phantom Menace,'' he included a delegation from ET's home planet in the Galactic Senate.]] [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Brodo_Asogi The EU expanded upon this]][[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Grebleips to the point that now, it's canon.]] Think about that for a second.
354** In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', among the patrons in the club where Obi-Wan finds Zam Wessell are Anthony Daniels ([=C-3PO=]) and Ahmed Best (Jar Jar Binks).
355** In the UpdatedRerelease of ''A New Hope'', Dash Rendar's ship from ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'' can be seen during the Mos Eisley arrival sequence, and Boba Fett has a cameo in the previously-cut Jabba the Hutt scene.
356** In ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', [[Creator/DanielCraig James Bond]] himself has a cameo as a First Order Stormtrooper, [[spoiler: specifically, the one Rey uses a jedi mind trick on]].
357** Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, and Cecep Arif Rahman, stars of ''Film/TheRaid'' also appear in ''The Force Awakens'' as members of an intergalactic criminal gang.
358** Creator/TomHardy played a stormtrooper who gets... A little too personal with Finn in a DeletedScene from ''Film/TheLastJedi''
359** Creator/GarethEdwards and Creator/RianJohnson each filmed cameos in the other's Star Wars movie. Johnson played a Death Star technician in ''Film/RogueOne'' while Edwards is the resistance soldier next to the weird salt-tasting guy in ''Film/TheLastJedi''.
360* One crowd scene in ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy2005'' features the original Marvin robot (from an earlier adaptation of the same series) as an extra. Another scene features Simon Jones, the actor who played Arthur Dent in the original radio drama and TV versions of the series, as a prerecorded Magrathean hologram. And the last image of the entire movie is Douglas Adams.
361* A more classical example is ''Film/TheGreatestStoryEverTold'', which is packed with them, the nadir being John Wayne playing a Roman centurion: "Truly, this man wuz the son of gawd!" [[note]] Sadly, it appears to be an urban myth that when asked to do the line again, with more awe, the Duke said, "'''Aw''', truly, this man wuz the son of gawd!" [[/note]]
362* Creator/LouFerrigno, who played the transformed Hulk in ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977'' had cameo appearances in Ang Lee's ''Film/{{Hulk}}'' and Louis Leterrier's ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008''. In both films, he played a security guard, while in the latter he also voiced the Hulk.
363* ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'':
364** In the first movie by Sam Raimi, several actors from the TV series he's produced get bit parts, including Creator/LucyLawless from ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' and Creator/BruceCampbell from the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' series. He plays the ring announcer who introduces Peter as Spider-Man instead of "The Human Spider" as Peter originally wanted. The car that Uncle Ben was driving is also from ''Evil Dead''.
365** Creator/BruceCampbell returned in cameo roles for the next two films as well. In #2, he plays an usher at the theater who refuses to let Peter in because the doors have already been closed. Finally in #3, he is a French maître d' at a restaurant who gladly helps Peter with his plans to propose to Mary Jane (though it doesn't exactly work out).
366** In the licensed games based on the films, Bruce also serves as the LemonyNarrator who walks you through tutorials. Though he doesn't seem very interested in it; at one point, he leaves to grab a sandwich.
367** Raimi himself did a couple of cameos; as the outtakes from the second film point out, he plays the student whose backpack smacks Peter in the head during a {{Montage}}.
368** Macy Gray showed up as herself singing at the festival the Goblin attacked in the first movie, too.
369** Creator/StanLee. Stan Lee protects a little girl in the havoc created by the Green Goblin in the first film. In the second, he pulls a woman out of the way of falling debris while Spider-Man fights Doc Ock; "Look out!" is his only line. In the third, he has a much more substantial cameo as a man who talks to Peter on the street. "Y'know, I guess it's true what they say: one person really can make a difference. 'Nuff said."
370** [[Series/{{Community}} Joel]] [[Series/TheSoup McHale]] showed up as the Bank Manager in ''Film/SpiderMan2'', and made a whole sketch on his show about how the next movie was going to be about him.
371* The Andy Kaufman biopic ''Film/ManOnTheMoon'' went crazy with cameos, with the twist that some of them aren't by famous people but instead by those who had some connection to Andy's life. Some are actually depicted in the film by other actors.
372** Andy's granddaughter Brittany Colonna as Young Andy's little sister.
373** George Shapiro, Andy's agent, as the comedy club owner who fires Andy for having too odd an act. (Shapiro is played onscreen by Danny [=DeVito=].)
374** Richard Belzer as an emcee for the first episode of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''. Belzer was a colleague of Kaufman's on the comedy club circuit, and partial inspiration for the latter's Tony Clifton persona.
375** Bob Zmuda, Andy's frequent co-conspirator, as Jack Burns, the producer of ''Fridays''. (Paul Giamatti plays Zmuda.)
376** In that same sequence, Norm [=MacDonald=] and Creator/CarolineRhea play Andy's co-stars in the sketch (substituting for Michael Richards and Melanie Chartoff, incidentally).
377** Lynne Marguiles, Andy's final girlfriend, appears as a mourner at the funeral. (Courtney Love plays her.)
378** Andy's father and siblings appear as extras.
379** Most of the cast of ''Series/{{Taxi}}'' (aside from Creator/TonyDanza and Creator/DannyDeVito, the latter due to CelebrityParadox), Andy's friend/collaborator Wendy Polland, Jerry Lawler, Lance Russell, [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Lorne Michaels]], David Letterman, and Paul Shaffer appear as themselves.
380*** Also, recognize the voice of that commentator during the scene where he first meets Jerry Lawler? It's Lawler's WWE commentary partner, Jim Ross.
381* "[[Film/TheViewAskewniverse Hey Kids, it's Mark Hamill! [Applaud].]]"
382** Although the credits list it as just "[=???=]", Hamill has a sorta-cameo in the ''Film/WingCommander'' movie, as the voice of Merlin, the computer in human fighters.
383** An early episode of the show ''Series/SpaceCases'' had Bill Mumy and Mark Hamill in bad make-up using Liverpool accents.
384* Anthony Head makes a cameo in ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet''. This is part of a WhatCouldHaveBeen, as Head was supposed to be one of the singing narrators before the sections were all cut.
385* Creator/BruceWillis loves his cameos - ''Film/FourRooms'', ''Film/LoadedWeapon1'', ''Film/CharliesAngelsFullThrottle'', ''Film/NancyDrew'' (one of two Creator/EmmaRoberts movies in which he turns up uncredited), ''Film/GrandChampion'' (the other one), ''Film/TheExpendables'' and ''Film/TheAstronautFarmer''.
386* ''Film/AnnieHall'':
387** Alvy tears into a blowhard waiting in line to see ''Film/TheSorrowAndThePity'' who claims to be an authority on Canadian media theorist Marshall [=McLuhan=], telling a fed up Alvy that he teaches a course on [=McLuhan=]. Alvy's riposte? "Oh, do ya? Well, that's funny, because I happen to have Marshall [=McLuhan=] right here." Cue the actual Marshall [=McLuhan=] appearing from behind a pot plant to give the pretentious windbag a well-deserved dressing down.
388** As Alvy and Annie sit on a bench people-watching, Alvy says of one man, "Oh, there's the winner of the Truman Capote Look-Alike Contest!" The man is Capote himself.
389** Creator/JeffGoldblum at Tony Lacey's Christmas party in Hollywood. "I forgot my mantra."
390** Creator/SigourneyWeaver has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo as Alvy's movie date in the final scene.
391* TheMovie of ''Series/KamenRiderKiva'' has cameos by several actors from its predecessor, ''Series/KamenRiderDenO'', most prominently the voice actors of [[SpotlightStealingSquad the Taros]]. The film draws attention to said cameos by having three of the four utter their character's catchphrase; the fourth, who plays a teacher, finds his character's phrase written on the blackboard at the start of class.
392* In ''Film/TheLifeAndDeathOfPeterSellers'', Creator/HeidiKlum appears as Creator/UrsulaAndress in the scene regarding ''Film/CasinoRoyale1967''.
393* The end of ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein'' has TheVoice of Creator/VincentPrice as The Invisible Man.
394* Fabio has a cameo in ''Film/DudeWheresMyCar''. Kristy Swanson also has a role that, while not technically a cameo (she's fifth-billed in a cast of 56 actors credited), is little more than a [[StealthPun fleshed-out]] FanserviceExtra.
395* Fabio was also in ''Film/{{Zoolander}}'' receiving a slashie. The film was also filled with cameos (being about fashion/celebrity life). The best of which has to be Music/DavidBowie, who shows up to judge the "walk-off".
396** He appears in a dream in ''Film/TheExorcistIII'' as an angel.
397* At the end of the TV-movie adaption of ''Colour of Magic'', Terry Pratchett appears as a Krullian.
398-->'''Krullian''': So...does that mean the star turtle's female, then?
399-->'''Terry''': Well, in my opinion...it's all a question of perspective.
400** And at the end of the ''other'' TV-movie adaption (''Hogfather''), as the owner of the toyshop that Death visits.
401** And at the end of the TV-movie adaptation of "Going Postal" he has a brief appearance as a postman.
402* Creator/JohnLandis likes putting other movie directors in various cameo roles in his movies. He did it to Steven Spielberg (uncredited as a tax clerk in ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'') and Frank Oz (in several movies, usually as an authority figure), while ''Film/SpiesLikeUs'' is ''full'' of such cameo roles (Sam Raimi, Costa-Gavras, the Coen brothers, Terry Gilliam, ...).
403** ''Film/SpiesLikeUs'' also features a cameo from Creator/BobHope, similar to the next example, as a ShoutOut to the "[[Film/RoadTo Road]]" pictures he made.
404* ''The Greatest Show on Earth'', a {{melodrama}} bordering on the WorldOfHam, features an uncharacteristically funny pair of cameos. Dorothy Lamour is cast as a circus performer who sings about the South Seas in her act, during which Creator/BobHope and Music/BingCrosby are shown in the audience, presumably as a ShoutOut to all of the "[[Film/RoadTo Road]]" pictures the three of them starred in.
405** Crosby put cameos in [[ThoseTwoActors several]] of Hope's starring vehicles; one of the more memorable is ''Film/MyFavoriteBrunette'', where he's a prison guard who is disgusted that Hope's execution via electric chair has been called off.
406** There's a "gotcha!" moment early in ''Film/MyFavoriteBrunette'', where you're carefully set up to expect Crosby as the "cool private eye" whose office is across the hall from Hope's photography studio. But when he turns around, [[spoiler: it isn't Crosby, it's Creator/AlanLadd]].
407** Another classic example occurs at the end of ''Film/ThePrincessAndThePirate'', where Crosby turns up as the commoner who the eponymous heroine is [[DidNotGetTheGirl really in love with]]. This of course provokes a sarcastic [[NoFourthWall fourth-wall breaking]] rant from Hope.
408* Louis Armstrong in ''Film/HelloDolly!'' Also in ''Film/HighSociety''.
409* The ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' movies had quite a few.
410** ''Film/{{Airplane}}'': The directors (Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker) all have minor roles; the "Jive Lady" is Barbara Billingsley (June Cleaver of ''Series/LeaveItToBeaver''); Creator/EthelMerman plays a hospitalized war veteran who [[NapoleonDelusion thinks he is Ethel Merman]]; the guy stuck waiting in the cab is Howard Jarvis (creator of California's Proposition 13).
411** ''Film/AirplaneIITheSequel'': Both Bob Costas and Pat Sajak have brief appearances.
412* In ''Film/{{Apollo 13}}'' the B-movie director Creator/RogerCorman has a brief cameo as an [[RealitySubtext budget-minded]] American senator being shown round the Apollo assembly building.
413** Corman actually gets many small roles from directors who got their starts under him, such as the one from ''Apollo 13'', Ron Howard. He shows up as a senator in ''Film/TheGodfatherPartII'', an FBI director in ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'' (where he's even listed in the opening credits!), and two by Creator/JoeDante: in ''Film/TheHowling'' (along with Forrest J. Ackerman) he's a phone booth user who just ''has'' to check the coin return when he's done, and in ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'', Corman is directing a Batman movie.
414* Music/TomPetty appears in the 1997 film ''Film/ThePostman'', as the mayor of Bridge City.
415* The ''Film/WaynesWorld'' movies are pretty thick with cameos. The second movie even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] the Creator/CharltonHeston cameo, having him [[NoFourthWall replace another actor at Wayne's request]].
416* The end of ''Film/MalcolmX'' features a cameo by Nelson Mandela as a teacher. There are several smaller cameos: Bobby Seale (one of the founders of the Black Panthers) and Al Sharpton play street preachers, Chicago Seven lawyer William Kunstler appears as a judge, and Ossie Davis narrating a eulogy for Malcolm X over one scene (the same one he gave at the real UsefulNotes/MalcolmX's funeral, in fact)...
417* [[spoiler:Jon Hamm]] at the end of ''Film/TheATeam''. It came completely out of left field.
418* Political figures [=John McCain=] and James Carville have cameos in ''Film/WeddingCrashers''.
419* ''Film/SupermanReturns'', in addition to featuring several {{Remake Cameo}}s from cast members of previous Superman films and TV shows, has Richard Branson cameo as a space shuttle pilot.
420* In ''Film/SunsetBoulevard'', the other silent film stars Norma Desmond plays bridge with are Anna Q. Nilsson, Creator/BusterKeaton and H. B. Warner. The big party scene shows Paramount songwriters Jay Livingston and Ray Evans at the piano playing their hit "Buttons and Bows." Creator/CecilBDeMille appears AsHimself directing the film Norma ''thinks'' is going to star her. At the end, gossip columnist Hedda Hopper briefly appears as herself.
421* ''Film/{{Tapeheads}}'' was rife with musician cameos, the biggest names being Music/WeirdAlYankovic as himself, Music/TedNugent as an unnamed rock star, and [[Music/DeadKennedys Jello Biafra]] as an FBI agent (who of course has the line "[[CelebrityParadox Remember what we did to Jello Biafra?]]")
422* Popular Mexican-American singer Music/{{Selena}} did a background cameo in 1994's ''Film/DonJuanDemarco'', performing in a hotel lounge. Tragically, this was her first and last movie cameo; she was murdered by a deranged fan in 1995 (which could qualify as HarsherInHindsight, since the movie deals with mental illness.)
423* Though he technically didn't appear in ''Film/{{Serenity}}'' Creator/JossWhedon did cameo in the R.Tam Sessions, a short film that served as promotional material that depicted River Tam at the Academy undergoing interviews by a faceless "counselor" played by Whedon. She eventually stabs him in the throat, leading to some jokes that River finally got revenge for all the other characters Joss has killed or tortured over the years.
424* In one scene of ''Film/TheKingOfComedy'', a group of punk rockers (credited as "street scum") start mocking Masha: among them are Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, and Paul Simonon of Music/TheClash, as well as Ellen Foley.
425* Joan Rivers shows up at Odile's promotional party in ''Film/TheSmurfs''.
426* Harvey Keitel and Penny Marshall take part in the film being made at the end of ''Film/GetShorty''.
427* The original script for ''Film/{{Gettysburg}}'' did not include the bit where General Hancock's aide tries to get Hancock to take cover. Historical advisor Ken Burns ''insisted'' that the exchange had to be included. The director told Ken to get over to wardrobe, and the part of "Hancock's Aide" was played by Ken Burns. Ted Turner, who backed said film, has a cameo as Col. Walter Patton, and gets shot and killed within minutes.
428* Chester Bennington from Music/LinkinPark has small roles in the movies ''Film/{{Crank}}'', ''Film/CrankHighVoltage'', and ''Film/Saw3D''.
429* Robert Shaye, founder and CEO of New Line Cinema, which distributed the original ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' films, has made cameos in five of said eight films (one AsHimself). He even made a brief appearance in an episode of ''Series/FreddysNightmares''.
430* Creator/AudreyHepburn has an extended cameo in Creator/StevenSpielberg's film ''Film/{{Always}}''. She is credited as "special appearance by..." and it would become her last film role.
431* ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''. Mr. Kyle, the Transporter Chief from ''TOS'', is the Communications Officer on the ''Reliant'' - making him the only RedShirt known to have survived the five-year mission. (He even got tossed aside by Khan in the transporter room in the [[Recap/StarTrekS1E22SpaceSeed original episode]].)
432* ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'': Brendan Fraser (of ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy'') plays Sgt. Stone in a brief scene involving a spar between Duke and Snake-Eyes.
433* In the first ''Film/TheTerminator'', the infiltrator terminator in Kyle's flashback of the future is played by Franco Columbu, Schwarzenegger's bodybuilding partner and longtime friend.
434* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
435** ''Film/IronMan1'':
436*** In TheStinger Samuel L. Jackson makes his debut as ComicBook/NickFury.

438** ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008'': Martial artist Rickson Gracie appears to teach Banner breathing exercises.
439** ''Film/IronMan2'':
440*** Bill O'Reilly [[LenoDevice comments on Iron Man]]. ''Film/IronMan3'' has both him and Joan Rivers' ''Fashion Police'' commenting on the Iron Patriot.
441*** DJ AM is performing at Tony's mansion while he has a drunk tirade.
442*** Larry Ellison and Creator/SethGreen make blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameos when Tony is leaving the Stark Expo early on.
443*** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk Elon Musk]], pitching Tony on an idea for electric jets[[note]]This is '''exponentially''' more important than it appears at first. Back when ''Iron Man 1'' was being filmed, Favreau "[[http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1984685_1984745_1985495,00.html had no idea how to make (Stark) seem real.]]" Creator/RobertDowneyJr's ''ExactWords'' were, "We need to sit down with Elon Musk."[[/note]].
444--->'''Stark''': Elon, how's it going? Those [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin_%28rocket_engine%29 Merlin]] engines are '''fantastic.'''\
445'''Elon''': Thank you. I've got an idea for an electric jet.\
446'''Stark''': You do?\
447'''Elon''': Yeah.\
448'''Stark''': Then we'll make it work.
449** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'':
450*** Senator Stern from ''Film/IronMan2'' shows up again, [[spoiler:this time revealed as a member of Hydra]]. During his conversation with Agent Sitwell, he even compliments the pin on the latter's lapel, reminding us of something he's forced to do at the end of that film.
451*** Peggy Carter shows up in three scenes, once in the present, once in stock footage, once as a portrait displayed in the first S.H.I.E.L.D. bunker.
452*** We see pictures and stock footage of the Howling Commandos, Howard Stark, and General Phillips from the first film.
453*** Arnim Zola and a picture of ComicBook/RedSkull (before and after he took the serum) appear in a scene.
454*** Danny Pudi of ''{{Series/Community}}'' fame plays a S.H.I.E.L.D. technician in a brief scene [[spoiler:wherein he is held at gunpoint by Sam and Maria.]]
455*** [[spoiler:When Hydra begins Project Insight, one of the crosshairs their satellites focus on]] is Stark Tower.
456*** Creator/GarySinise does the voiceover at Cap's Smithsonian exhibit.

458*** Creator/JossWhedon has a cameo as a visitor at the Smithsonian.
459*** Creator/StevenCulp appears as a government official interrogating Black Widow.
460** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' has Creator/LloydKaufman (mentor of the film's director, James Gunn) appear as an inmate in the Kyln.
461** In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', Peggy Carter and Heimdall appear in Cap and Thor's "dreams" created by Scarlet Witch. There's also Julie Delpy as the head of the Black Widows in Natasha's "dream".
462** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'': Creator/GreggHenry appears driving a minivan to escape [[spoiler:Ego's]] assimilation wave.
463* [[spoiler: Creator/LeonardNimoy as Spock Prime]] in ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness''.
464* ''Film/MenInBlackII'': Music/MichaelJackson makes a brief cameo telling the agency, "I could be 'Agent M.'"
465** In ''Film/MenInBlack3'', there's Creator/WillArnett as Agent AA and Creator/BillHader as Creator/AndyWarhol - [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy actually, Agent W]].
466* ''Always Sunset on Third Street 2'' is a movie involving politics, the economy of Japan, and a normal Japanese family. With that in mind, would you really expect the movie to open up with, of all the possible ways it could, a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGOX_FdEccc cameo]] performance by ''{{Franchise/Godzilla}}''?
467* ''Film/MulhollandDrive'' has singer Rebekah del Rio appear as herself, performing at a mysterious nightclub.
468* ''Film/{{Dave}}'' features brief appearances by numerous politicians, [[NewscasterCameo newscasters]], and other public figures playing themselves.
469* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries''
470** ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'':
471*** A younger version of Cyclops, as one of the mutants targeted by Stryker. His power is copied and put into Weapon X. Ironically, it also ends up destroying most of Three Mile Island as well.
472*** [[spoiler: An uncredited and digitally rejuvenated Creator/PatrickStewart as Professor X.]]
473*** Several characters from the comic book can also be seen in the Weapon X scenes: Quicksilver, Banshee, and Toad, specifically. Others are harder to distinguish on sight.
474** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
475*** [[spoiler:Wolverine, and given that PG-13 movies have [[PrecisionFStrike only one "fuck" to use]], the writers definitely chose the perfect scene to take advantage of it.]]
476*** Also Rebecca Romijn, the original Mystique, [[spoiler:who briefly appears when Raven takes on a more mature appearance in order to try and seduce Magento]].
477*** A blink-and-you'll-miss-it case: one of the mutants shown during the first test run of Cerebro appears to be a very young ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}}, and another looks like ComicBook/{{Cyclops|MarvelComics}}.
478** ''Film/TheWolverine'': [[spoiler:A repowered Magneto and a resurrected Professor X greet Logan--much to the latter's astonishment--during the post-credits scene.]]
479** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'':
480*** Alex Summers can be seen as one of the mutants Mystique rescues from Saigon. A younger Toad is also featured there, even appearing in a later scene watching Magneto on TV to allude how he will join the Brotherhood.
481*** The film ends with appearances from [[spoiler:Anna Paquin as Rogue, Creator/JamesMarsden as ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}, Creator/FamkeJanssen as Jean Grey, and Creator/KelseyGrammer as the older version of Beast, all of whom were restored to life after the heroes stopped Mystique from killing Trask]].
482*** [[spoiler:A young version of En Sabah Nur, aka Apocalypse, appears in TheStinger.]]
483*** Ink gets three: one in the BadFuture as a concentration camp inmate, one in Vietnam as a soldier, and one near the end, watching Magneto's NewEraSpeech.
484*** While ComicBook/ScarletWitch as a Mutant is absent in the film in spite of her relationship with Quicksilver, a girl with red hair is later seen with him. Interestingly, she is only credited as "Peter's Little Sister," making her identity ambiguous (some think she's Peter's ''half''-sister Polaris), though it definitely counts as a MythologyGag. A deleted scene in the ReCut shows the little girl being told to "go bug your sister", which is probably Wanda.
485** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Creator/HughJackman as Wolverine, who appears (initially BrainwashedAndCrazy) as a prisoner in Stryker's underground facility at Alkali Lake. [[spoiler:He shows just long enough to massacre most of Stryker's troops (and have the mechanical apparatus strapped to him removed by Jean) before he escapes into the forest.]]
486** ''Film/Deadpool2'':
487*** [[spoiler:Charles Xavier (Creator/JamesMcAvoy), Peter Maximoff (Creator/EvanPeters), Scott Summers (Creator/TyeSheridan) and Hank [=McCoy=] (Creator/NicholasHoult) are briefly seen giving a lesson while Deadpool is at the X-Mansion and ranting about how he never sees any of the big name X-Men around. The door is quickly shut by Hank before Deadpool sees them.]]
488*** [[spoiler:After being set up to not be shown at all, the Vanisher becomes visible for his dying moments… and it's Brad Pitt.]]
489* In ''Film/LastVegas'', [[Music/{{LMFAO}} Redfoo]] and Music/FiftyCent cameo [[AsHimself As Themselves]].
490* ''Film/TheScribbler'': Sasha Grey shows up briefly as a [[BunnyEarsLawyer bunny-eared mental patient]].
491* ''Film/{{Annie 2014}}'':
492** ''[=MoonQuake=] Lake'', the movie Stacks takes Annie to see, has Music/{{Rihanna}}, Creator/MilaKunis and Creator/AshtonKutcher in prominent roles, and--if you pay attention to the credits--is directed by [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie Phil Lord and Christopher Miller]].
493** Also, Creator/MichaelJFox appears as himself stumping for Stacks' political opponent.
494* Matt Lucas as the London cabbie in ''Film/Paddington2014''.
495* BigSean, Don Lemon, and (briefly) Music/JanelleMonae in Film/BeyondTheLights.
496* ''Film/MapsToTheStars'' has two: Creator/CarrieFisher ([[AsHimself As Herself]]), and screenwriter Bruce Wagner as a limo driver.
497* ''Film/{{Predator}}'': Bodybuilder Sven-Ole Thorsen appears as a Russian officer.
498** The helicopter pilot who rescues Anna and Dutch is Kevin Peter Hall, who plays the Predator.
499* Creator/HappyMadisonProductions films always find a way to get cameos for Creator/AdamSandler's [[ProductionPosse friends]]. Or celebrities, with ''Film/AngerManagement'' getting many baseball players, tennis player John [=McEnroe=] (whose appearance in temperament therapy is certainly AdamWesting for his hot-headed reputation) and former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani.
500* In ''Film/{{Pixels}}'':
501** Serena Williams shows up briefly on a party, and then in the White House, as herself.
502** Martha Stewart is seen in the White House, also as herself.
503** While Pac-Man's creator Toru Iwatani is played by another actor, the man himself appears briefly as a mechanic.
504** Creator/DanAykroyd shows up as an MC for 1982 World Arcade Games Championships.
505* ''Film/TheKidAndI'' includes cameos from Shaquille O'Neal, Whoopi Goldberg, Pat O'Brien, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
506* See if you can spot the real life Margaret Keane in ''Film/BigEyes''. Hint, [[spoiler:she's an old lady sitting on a park bench]].
507* ''Film/PaperTowns'':
508** [[spoiler:Ansel Elgort]] appears as the gas station clerk.
509** [[spoiler:Creator/JohnGreen]] as the voice of Jase's father.
510* In the movie within the movie in ''Film/MrHolmes'', Creator/NicholasRowe can be seen playing Franchise/SherlockHolmes. He played the title role in ''Film/YoungSherlockHolmes''.
511* In ''Film/WarCraft2016'', a Dread Lord makes a cameo as [[spoiler:Medivh's demonic form]].
512* ''Film/JurassicWorld'' has the guy who tries to save his margaritas during the TerrorDactyl [[DeathFromAbove attack]]: none other than Mr. Margaritaville himself, Music/JimmyBuffett.
513* ''Film/StrokerAce'', due to being a movie following a [=NASCAR=] driver, features a number of actual stockcar drivers and commentators in the background. The most prominent of the drivers is Harry Gant, who is the unfortunate victim of Aubrey James' one-sided rivalry with Stroker ''twice''.
514** [[CreatorCameo Hal Needham]] appears as a bar patron who [[BarBrawl punches Stroker from out of nowhere]].
515* ''Film/{{Vampirella}}'': Creator/JohnLandis appears as an astronaut.
516* ''Film/LesMiserables2012'': Creator/ColmWilkinson, who originated the role of Jean Valjean on the West End and Broadway, plays the Bishop in the prologue.
517* MMA fighters Max Holloway, Oleg Taktarov, and Michael Bisping all have bit parts in ''Film/DenOfThieves''.
518* Several of note in ''Film/TheTenCommandments1956'', but one of particular note is film bad guy Ian Keith who appears at the very beginning as Pharoah Rameses I, whose decree to kill all Hebrew male babies (in order to prevent the one from growing up to deliver his people from bondage) starts off the film.
519* TeenIdol Adam Faith (implicitly playing himself) appears at the very end of ''Film/WhatACarveUp'' as Linda's boyfriend.
520* Mario Van Peebles makes a cameo in ''Film/GangOfRoses'' as his character Jesse Lee from ''Film/{{Posse}}''.
521* In ''Film/{{Boar}}'', Creator/SteveBisley appears as a character called Bob, who is on screen for about 12 seconds.
522* ''Film/TheLovedOne'' has a whole string of them, including [[Series/TheTonightShowStarringJohnnyCarson Ed McMahon]], Creator/JamesCoburn, Creator/RoddyMcDowall and, very memorably, Music/{{Liberace}}.
523* In ''Film/KillerDiller2004'', blues musician Taj Mahal appears briefly as Wesley's [[PosthumousCharacter dead mentor]].
524* American actor and comedian Joe E. Brown makes his last film appearance in ''Film/TheComedyOfTerrors'' as the Cemetery Groundskeeper.
525* ''Film/JennifersBody'': Creator/LanceHenriksen plays the man who picks Needy up in his car near the end.
526* In ''Film/{{Sheitan}}'', Creator/MonicaBellucci appears briefly as a vampire in the FilmWithinAFilm the pumpman is watching at the garage.
527* Adrianne Curry appears AsHerself in "The Night Billy Raised Hell" segment in ''Film/TalesOfHalloween'', with Billy and Mr. Abaddon stealing her car.

529* ''Film/BlazingSaddles'': Jazz musician Music/CountBasie shows up leading the orchestra in the desert.
530* ''Film/Zombi2'': Diver and shark trainer Ramon Bravo shows up as a zombie fighting a shark.
531* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'':
532** ''Film/Godzilla1954'': Stuntman Creator/HaruoNakajima appears as a reporter in a newspaper office.
533** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': Quite a lot.
534*** The head of [[Characters/MonsterVerseMUTO Femuto]], a member of the antagonistic kaiju species of [[Film/Godzilla2014 the previous film]], is being held at Castle Bravo, Monarch's Godzilla monitoring station. A very much alive grey female with more exaggerated head crests (somewhere between the black female and the Muto Prime) is one of the Titans awoken by Ghidorah [[spoiler:and later bows to Godzilla once he is recognized as the Alpha.]]
535*** Word of God confirms that what looks in the finished film like normal-sized birds flying amid the freshly-blasted ruins of Boston at the film's end are actually the Leafwings from ''Film/KongSkullIsland''.
536*** [[Characters/MonsterVerseKingKong Kong]] also makes a cameo in video footage.

617[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
618!!!'''In General:'''
619* This happens ''a lot'' in Canada. ''Series/RoyalCanadianAirFarce'', ''Series/ThisHourHas22Minutes'', ''Series/CornerGas'', and almost every other comedic (and sometimes not-comedic) show produced by [=CBC=], and often [=CTV=] too, often has cameos of one sort or another. You haven't lived until you've seen Peter Mansbridge (a well-known Canadian news anchor) affect a Newfoundland accent and sing a shanty.
620** Or former Prime Minister Kim Campbell singing "Raise a Little Hell".
621!!!'''By Series:'''
622* Dennis Rodman appeared briefly as himself on ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun'' as an old friend of the aliens from their home planet. They all mention how surprising it is that no one has figured out he's not from Earth, and he then reveals some shocking facts, such as that Michael Jordan is a robot and Madonna... is actually human. When he heads home, he takes with him a gift for the Big Giant Head: a big, giant nosering.
623** While he didn't appear in the movie, his alien status was mentioned in ''Film/MenInBlack''. Elle didn't think he had a very good disguise.
624* Well-known Senator and former presidential contender John [=McCain=] (R-AZ) once made a cameo appearance in ''Series/TwentyFour'' and appears onscreen for a few seconds in ''Film/WeddingCrashers'' as well.

631* The 1960's live action ''Series/{{Batman|1966}}'' TV show was notorious for random celebrity appearances as Batman climbed up buildings. Including [[Series/HogansHeroes Colonel Klink]]. Holy time-space distortion!
632** Most memorable was, as Batman & Robin were scaling a building... Series/TheGreenHornet and [[Creator/BruceLee Kato]] were climbing up from the opposite side!
633* John Hodgman in the ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' episode "No Exit". And Ron Moore in the final scene of the series.
634* ''Series/BetterThings'': Creator/DavidDuchovny, Creator/DannyPudi, Joe Walsh and Creator/ConstanceZimmer among other celebrities all appear briefly as themselves, since Sam is an actress.
635* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'':
636** In one episode, Raj is excited about appearing on People Magazine and brags about it to a random guy seated with his back to him at a bar. But the random guy turns out to be Creator/CharlieSheen. He says: "Call me when you get the cover."
637** In "The Toast Derivation", Sheldon boasts that [=LeVar=] Burton will be at a party he's throwing because he sent him a tweet asking him to come. In the episode's [[TheStinger stinger]], he actually shows up, but is freaked out by the other guests (one of whom is wearing only a towel) Karaoke-ing "I'm Walking On Sunshine" and leaves before anyone notices him.
638** In "The Excelsior Acquisition", the gang (minus Sheldon) go to a comics book signing by Stan Lee. He appears at the very end with a different attitude than normal.

643* In ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode "[[Recap/CommunityS1E13InvestigativeJournalism Investigative Journalism]]", Owen Wilson shows up in the last scene.
644* ''Series/CornerGas'' has a lot of cameos.. various Canadian TV personalities, sports stars, and as noted above, ''two sitting Prime Ministers'' (Paul Martin and Stephen Harper). {{Lampshaded}} and parodied more than once, such as the time when the characters talk about how Colin Mochrie cameos on ''every'' Canadian TV show just before a minor character played by Colin Mochrie makes an appearance.
645* ''Series/TheCryOfMann'': [[WebVideo/RebelTaxi Pan Pizza]] was one of the callers on the show; he was the one who kept saying "no" to Courtney in episode 3 and was was subsequently deemed a "giggly machine".

648* Dick Clark on ''Series/DharmaAndGreg''. Once, Greg hangs out with Jane's weird friends and when they ask him if he'd like to play a game he says that he'll just watch. They all gasp in shock as no one has ever ''volunteered'' to be The Watcher before. As they all line up to lick The Watcher, Greg tries to escape through the nearest door only to find Dick Clark behind it who instantly knows that Greg is The Watcher and also wants to lick him. He appears another time in Edward's flashback but Kitty corrects him that it wasn't Dick Clark he was thinking of but Rick York. Another time he shows up only only for us to discover it's actually just someone [[LatexPerfection disguised as Dick.]]
649* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
650** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E2CityOfDeath City of Death]]": Creator/JohnCleese and Eleanor Bron appear in its final episode as art gallery visitors [[AccidentalArt who mistake the TARDIS for a work of art]]. They were filming separate projects in the same studio on the same day, and when writer Creator/DouglasAdams found out about this, he convinced them to do a quick cameo appearance. They agreed on the condition that their presence would not be publicized in any way prior to broadcast (in fact, they wanted to be credited with the pseudonyms "Kim Bread" and "Helen Swanetsky", but the BBC declined in favour of crediting them under their real names).
651** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E12TheSoundOfDrums The Sound of Drums]]": Sharon Osborne, Anne Widdecombe and Music/{{McFly}} all appear endorsing Harold Saxon in a video on his website.
652** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E12TheStolenEarth The Stolen Earth]]":
653*** Creator/RichardDawkins appears on an in-universe TV broadcast as himself. This also causes a CelebrityParadox since he was married at the time to Creator/LallaWard, the actress who played Romana II.
654*** Paul O'Grady also appears on his chat show making light of the situation.
655** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour The Eleventh Hour]]": Creator/PatrickMoore is among the experts participating in the emergency conference call. He's also apparently a DirtyOldMan.
656** "[[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor The Day of the Doctor]]": [[spoiler:Tom Baker]] appears as a museum curator, and [[spoiler:Peter Capaldi makes his very first appearance as the Twelfth Doctor]] in the climactic scene.
657** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E1DeepBreath Deep Breath]]": [[spoiler:Matt Smith makes a surprising reprise as a dying Eleventh Doctor, giving a tearful farewell to Clara and convincing her to trust the Twelfth Doctor.]]
658* When it was announced that Nurse Carol Hathaway was leaving ''Series/{{ER}}'' at the end of the show's sixth season, George Clooney insisted that he would not reprise his role as Dr. Doug Ross (Carol's on-again off-again love interest) as a cameo in the season finale. [[ExactWords And he didn't.]] He appeared in the episode ''before'' the season finale, which was Carol's final regular episode on the show, and the episode ended with Doug and Carol together again (in a guest appearance in the final season they were HappilyMarried). George Clooney accepted standard union scale pay for his cameo, which he did mainly as a favor to actress Julianna Margulies.
659* When the cast of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' went to London, Richard Branson sold a hat to Joey, who later shows off a video of him meeting Sarah Ferguson.

664** In the seventh season premier, Music/EdSheeran appears with a group of Lannister soldiers who befriend Arya.
665* ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' had a number of cameos, including Creator/BurtReynolds, Creator/SonnyBono, and perhaps most memorably, Creator/BobHope - whom Rose was convinced was her biological father.

667* Two actors from ''Film/{{Grease}}'' appeared in the live TV version in 2016: Didi Conn, who played Frenchie in the film, plays Vi, the waitress at the Frosty Palace who gives Frenchie (here played by Music/CarlyRaeJepsen) advice, and Barry Pearl, who played Doody in the film, is the producer of the National Bandstand.

669* ''Series/HartToHart'': Creator/NatalieWood (Creator/RobertWagner's then-wife) briefly appears in the pilot as an unnamed actress on a day off who wears a GorgeousPeriodDress.

674** Creator/HowieMandel appeared briefly as an interior decorator.
675** Tim Russert and Creator/JayLeno appeared in two separate episodes AsHimself.
676* The ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' episode "Subway Wars" parodies this by having Robin mention seeing Maury Povich, only for him to appear as a background character in almost every other scene.
677* ''Series/ICarly'': [[Series/{{Victorious}} Daniella Monet]] was at Nora's party in "iPsycho".
678** [[LesYay Who Nora promptly kissed]].
679* ''Series/IrmaVep'': Creator/KristenStewart in the last episode shows up to play Mira's friend Lianna briefly (they don't interact).
680* While the marvels of modern effects and stock footage allowed for cameos by real-world politicians in ''Series/{{JAG}}'' and its spinoff ''Series/{{NCIS}}'', one famous real-world figure, Oliver North, appeared on the former series as himself.
681** JAG also had a few other real-world figures making cameos like Jay Leno, Creator/BillOReilly and Johnnie Cochran.
682** And in a strange inversion, an actor playing a Donald Rumsfeld stand-in features in one episode of NCIS, but the scene is shot to make it look like crappy stock footage of the real Rumsfeld.
683*** Even more weird, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus in late 2009 made an appearance on NCIS while not playing himself.
684* Then-NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani made an appearance on the premier of ''Series/LawAndOrder'''s eleventh season, to introduce the new D.A (Nora Lewin, played by Diane Wiest).

687** Rob [=McElhenney=] from ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' has a one scene cameo as a Other who gets outsmarted by Sawyer and Kate in "Not in Portland" because Damon Lindelof (''Lost'''s co-creator and showrunner) is a fan of ''Sunny''. The character later returned in season 6 and [[spoiler:got shot by Claire]].
688* Dick Clark also made a cameo on ''Series/MadAboutYou'', in an episode where Paul Buchman is trying to shoot a documentary about the dropping of the famous lighted crystal ball in Times Square during New York City's New Years' celebrations. Toward the very end of the episode, it shows Clark, who decided to take that year off from covering the festivities for ABC (something that was odd to the point of being bizarre back then) and was thus watching the countdown at home, nearly freaking out over the ball's refusing to drop (due to a series of mishaps that happened while Paul and his small crew were trying to film the crystal ball on its perch).
689* ''Series/TheMandalorian'' features a major cameo from [[spoiler: Creator/MarkHamill as '''Luke Skywalker''']] in the Season 2 finale.
690* Johnny Carson would also appear in a final-season episode of ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow'' as a guest at one of Mary's infamous parties. The party took place during a power failure, so for his entire time on camera he was not actually visible.
691* The ''Series/MissionImpossible'' episode "The Catafalque" has Hall of Fame baseball player Johnny Bench in a cameo as a guard.
692* Liberace on ''Series/TheMonkees'' in one episode, smashing a piano to pieces with a sledgehammer as a performance piece.

694* ''Series/{{Newhart}}'' currently holds the title of Best Celebrity Cameo Ever. Larry (of Larry, Darryl, and Darryl) mentions off hand that [[Series/TheTonightShow Johnny Carson]] pays their gas bill. Dick is skeptical of the weird trio's claim until the last minute of the episode. Johnny visits the Inn and tells Dick off because he ''does'' pay their gas bill.

695** [[Series/TheBobNewhartShow Suzanne Pleshette]] shows up for the series finale's MythologyGag.

707* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' loved its cameos, ranging from Creator/BillyDeeWilliams as the godfather of JD's GirlOfTheWeek to Creator/GaryBusey as a doctor who looks like Gary Busey.
708* ''Series/SquidGame'':
709** Creator/GongYoo has a [[SmallRoleBigImpact small but important]] cameo as the Salesman in the first and last episodes.
710** Creator/LeeByunghun as the Front Man is an interesting case; he plays a major character, but his face is only shown once and he wears a mask in all his other appearances.
711* ''Franchise/StarTrek'' has a number of cameos throughout its run.
712**  Grace Lee Whitney appeared as Yeoman Janice Rand during the first season of Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries. Despite never being a major character and leaving after the first season she became something of a fan favourite, and would then go on to cameo in Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture, Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock, Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome, and Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry.
713*** Whitney, along with Creator/GeorgeTakei and actor Jeremy Roberts, would go on to feature as the ''Star Trek VI'' versions of Rand, Sulu, and Valtane respectively in the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' anniversary episode "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E2Flashback Flashback]]", which also featured a cameo of Creator/MichaelAnsara as legendary Klingon warrior Kang.
714** Creator/DeForestKelley cameoed as an aged version of Dr [=McCoy=] in [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E1EncounterAtFarpoint the first episode]] of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', though as per the production policy in the early years of TNG of only referencing the characters and events of Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries obliquely, he wasn't named.
715** Creator/LeonardNimoy shows up as Spock for a substantial two-parter that bridged TNG's fifth and sixth seasons, "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E7Unification1 Unification]]". Justified in that Vulcans live much longer than humans.
716** Creator/JamesDoohan shows up in a TNG season six episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E4Relics Relics]]". Unlike [=McCoy=] and Spock, he's more-or-less the same age as we saw him at the end of the movies series, since he arrives in the 24th century by way of [[HumanPopsicle being suspended in a transporter beam for 75 years]].
717** Creator/PatrickStewart cameos as Captain Picard ([[spoiler:and Locutus of Borg]]) in [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS01E01E02Emissary the first episode]] of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''.

722* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'':
723** Another politician cameo: King Abdullah of Jordan made a cameo appearance back when he was merely the Crown Prince.
724** Tom Morello of Music/RageAgainstTheMachine, who happens to be a big Trek fan, also had a cameo appearance on ''Voyager''.
725* The last episode of ''Series/SueThomasFBEye'' had the real Sue Thomas (who was portraying an actress, no less).
726* In the ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'' episode "The Switch" Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger (who also [[DirectedByCastMember directed the episode]]) appears in a few cameos first as the Cryptkeeper's personal trainer who introduces the story and as a body builder in the beach scene.
727* In the German series ''Series/{{Tatort}} Köln'', composer/jazz musician Music/KlausDoldinger appears as a StreetMusician, [[DiegeticSoundtrackUsage playing the series' theme]] (which he composed) with his sax.
728* Brad Garrett, better known as [[Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond Robert Barone]] carried a series called '''Til Death'', in which in one episode he's trying to apologize to his wife in an Italian restaurant, causing Ray Romano to turn around from his table and go "C'Mon lady, what more do you want!?". His wife asks "Who was that?" "[[LampshadeHanging Looks like someone I used to work with.]]"
729* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': [[Series/ICarly Jerry Trainor]] showed up at a stage play performed by Trina. However, this may be foreshadowing a planned crossover event between the 2 shows.
730* ''Series/WagonTrain'': No less than Creator/JohnWayne showed up in "The Colter Craven Story" (seen only in silhouette and credited as "Michael Morris"). Creator/JohnFord directed the episode; the two of them showed up to do their old friend Ward Bond (the show's star) a favor.
731* ''Series/WeAreWhoWeAre'': Creator/TimotheeChalamet and Creator/ArmieHammer, the stars of Luca Guadagnino's most well-known film ''Film/CallMeByYourName'', appear at different points as extras in the series.
732* ''Series/{{Weeds}}'' had Music/SnoopDogg appearing AsHimself in the episode "Weed Money", wherein he gives Nancy and Conrad's "MILF Weed" his seal of approval and sings its praises in an original rap written for the show.

734
735[[folder:Music]]
736* Janice Dickinson appears in the music video for Music/DarrenHayes' "On the Verge of Something Wonderful" because she happened to be at the hotel where the video was filmed.
737* The male scientist in the video for Music/{{Korn}}'s "Make Me Bad"' is played by Creator/UdoKier. While his name isn't immediately familiar for many, gamers of a certain age will certainly pick up on how his voice sounds eerily reminiscent of a certain [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert2 psychic overlord]] he played...
738* What is Music/JamesBrown, the Godfather of Soul, doing popping up for a few seconds in the middle of the video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waAsEQ6PQOo "Shingo Mama no Oha Rock"]], a Japanese novelty song performed by "Shingo Mama" (a character played by a [[CrossDresser cross-dressing]] Shingo Katori, member of the {{boy band}} SMAP)? We have no idea.
739* During the video for "Move Along" by Music/TheAllAmericanRejects, there is a balding, bearded man seen over the shoulder of singer Tyson Ritter. That's genre character actor Tony Amendola, better recognized for his long-running roles as Master Bra'tac in ''Series/StargateSG1'' and Gepetto in ''Series/OnceUponATime'', doing an uncredited cameo. Amendola just happened to be walking past the shooting location when they needed someone to stand behind the singer and act angry, and agreed to the cameo on a whim.
740* [[Music/RedHotChiliPeppers Flea]] appears as a bartender in Music/ButtholeSurfers' "Who Was In My Room Last Night?".
741* There are a lot of these in [[WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} Mori Calliope's]] music video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5VxUvL_uBo "The Grim Reaper Is A Live-Streamer"]] from hololive. From obvious ones like her fellow genmates, Gawr Gura, Ninomae Ina'nis, Amelia Watson, and Takanashi Kiara, notably represented in their DM {{Easter Eggs}} and logos, to subtle ones such as Kureiji Ollie's hand rising out of the ground, Suisei [[AxCrazy holding an axe]], and an ad for "Uber Sheep", a running joke relating to Tsunomaki Watame, all of whom she's collaborated with in the past, in music or otherwise.
742* The music video of [[Music/NoahIndonesia Peterpan]]'s "Ku Katakan Dengan Indah" has short appearances of fellow Indonesian musicians Desta, Pepeng, and Candil.
743* Music/{{Eminem}}:
744** The music video for "Just Lose It" briefly unites the cast of ''Film/EightMile'' for the section where the beat changes to a parody of "the Lose Yourself".
745** "Berzerk" features multiple cameos to hit Eminem's WaxingLyrical and puns - Royce da 5'9" shows up in a Slaughterhouse pig head logo tshirt to underscore a pun on "''pig''ment", Music/KendrickLamar turns up to push Eminem out of frame (going with the subtext that the song is about Eminem [[WhiteDwarfStarlet being obsoleted by Kendrick]]), and Music/KidRock turns up for a bar where Eminem references "Bawitdaba".
746* The intro to ''This May Be The Reason Why Music/TheMenThatWillNotBeBlamedForNothing Cannot Be Harmed By Conventional Weapons'' is [[Series/DoctorWho Sylvester McCoy]], who supposedly was talked into it by the band cornering him after a performance and threatening to cry if he said no.
747* [[{{Music/Motorhead}} Lemmy Kilminster]] makes an unlikely appearance in the music video for [[NewWaveMusic new wave]] OneHitWonder "I Wanna Be A Cowboy" by Boys Don't Cry, playing a "Creator/LeeVanCleef bad boy" (as Boys Don't Cry frontman Nick Richards once put it).
748* In the video for Maggie Rogers's "That's Where I Am", Rogers is walking down the street singing when Music/DavidByrne rides by on his bike.
749* The music video for "Faster Than Light" by Lead Into Gold features a few shots of [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor]] miming a guitar part. Trent did not actually play guitar on the recording and has no other direct involvement with the group - rumor has it he was approached because he happened to be shooting Music/NineInchNails' "Head Like A Hole" video on a nearby sound stage.
750* Swedish actor Creator/PeterStormare appears in the video for Music/{{Sabaton}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzeNBRbWXpI "Uprising"]] as the unnamed officer who commands the German forces during their crackdown on the Warsaw Uprising. According to bassist Pär Sundström, he found the role in a pile of offers from his agent and [[AwesomeDearBoy thought it sounded awesome]]. One of the Resistance leaders in the same video is played by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldemar_Skrzypczak General Waldemar Skrzypczak]], former commander of the Polish Land Forces.
751* The late, great [[{{Music/GWAR}} Dave Brockie]] makes a memorable cameo on [[Music/DevinTownsend Strapping Young Lad]]'s song "Far Beyond Metal," off of their final album ''The New Black'':
752-->"DOWN IN THE HALLS OF THE NECRO-LORD!
753-->FLASH OF FEAR WHEN HE SEES MY SWORD!
754-->[[BlackComedyRape RAPED HIS WOMEN]], [[TheStoner SMOKED]] [[DoubleEntendre HIS BONE]]!
755-->[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking LEAVE A BOOGER UNDERNEATH HIS THROOOOONE!]]"
756* {{Music/Mudhoney}}'s "Suck You Dry" PerformanceVideo includes a shot of [[{{Music/Nirvana}} Krist Novoselic]] among the audience - but as part of the video's SelfDeprecation theme, he's sitting at the bar while looking bored, and doesn't seem to be paying attention to the band.

770* Creator/SternPinball's ''[[Pinball/IronManStern Iron Man]]'' have cameos by Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff, though they have no real presence in the game.
771* The backglass for ''Pinball/TalesFromTheCrypt'' includes cameos of The Vault Keeper and The Old Witch, two of the cohorts of the Crypt Keeper from the original Creator/ECComics series.

779[[/folder]]
780
781[[folder:Podcasts]]
782* Episode six of ''Podcast/MysteryShow'' features Starlee interviewing Alan Sacks, co-creator of Series/WelcomeBackKotter. He doesn't have much to offer in the mystery-solving department, but he does get to tell a great story about Phil Spector.
783* ''Podcast/RandomAssault'':
784** Dan Amrich as Danta Claus in the ChristmasSpecial.
785** Creator/JewWario, WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun's Graham and Paul, the aforementioned Dan Amrich, and GamesRadar's Cheryll deRosario have done Artist Liners for the show.
786[[/folder]]
787
788[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
789* The Wrestling/RoyalRumble tends to have former WWE legends and other superstars. At one time DREW CAREY entered the rumble (after being egged on by Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} & Wrestling/{{Christian}}).
790* While working for Wrestling/JerryLawler's USWA in Memphis, [[Wrestling/{{Jacqueline}} Miss Texas]] appeared uncredited in vignettes promoting [[Wrestling/JeffJarrett "Double-J" Jeff Jarrett]]'s debut, which aired on the November 21 (taped October 19), 1993 ''WWF Wrestling Challenge'' and the November 20 (taped October 20), 1993 ''WWF Superstars'', some 4 1/2 years before making her official debut.
791* [[Wrestling/EdFarhat The Sheik]] seconded Wrestling/{{Sabu}} for against [[Wrestling/JerryLynn Mr. JL]] at ''Wrestling/{{WCW}} Halloween Havoc 95'', October 29, 1995, which was held near his home in Detroit. After the match, the Sheik hit Mr. JL with a {{fireball|s}}.
792* The January 10, 2000 episode of ''Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro'' saw Commissioner Wrestling/TerryFunk and the Old Age Outlaws (Wrestling/ArnAnderson, Larry Zbyszko and Paul Orndorff) announce that they were going to be bringing some friends in to deal with [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder NWO member]] and [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-us-h.html WCW United States Heavyweight Champion]] Wrestling/JeffJarrett. Wrestling/GeorgeSteele was revealed as the first opponent, in a "[[GarbageWrestler Bunkhouse Match]]". Steele hit Jarrett with weapons, but got sidetracked, of course, [[CrazyConsumption by eating a turnbuckle]]. Jarrett nailed Steele with his guitar, but Arn hit him with a spinebuster. Special referee Wrestling/ChrisBenoit dragged Steele over on top of Jarrett and counted the pin.
793* [[Wrestling/EvanBourne Matt Sydal]] as a hooded audience member on Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} volume one to support Wrestling/DaizeeHaze. Generation Next stablemate Wrestling/RoderickStrong at volume 14. All American Wrestling's officials have also made cameos since they share the same building.
794* "Wrestling/{{Chris K|anyon}}", defeated Wrestling/{{Raven}} at ''Wrestling/{{TNA}} Turning Point 2005,'' as [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Director of Authority]] Larry Zbyszko's specially chosen opponent for Raven, who was feuding with Zbyszko at the time.
795* Wrestling/JamesMitchell led Wrestling/{{Mikey|Whipwreck}} and Wrestling/YoshihiroTajiri to the ring for the Three-Way-Dance between Tajiri, Wrestling/LittleGuidoMaritato and Super Crazy and Wrestling/BeulahMcGillicutty returned for one last cat fight at ''Wrestling/{{ECW}} One Night Stand 2005,'' against Wrestling/{{Francine}} during the Wrestling/TommyDreamer[=/=][[Wrestling/JimFullington Sandman]]-[[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Dudleys]] main event.
796* He wasn't big at the time, but during Wrestling/JohnCena's gangster entrance at Wrestling/WrestleMania 22, one of the gangsters there would, years later, become [[spoiler: ''The Best In The World'', Wrestling/CMPunk.]]
797* While still in Puerto Rico but not contracted to WWC, Wrestling/BlackRose could still sometimes be seen in the crowd cheering for El Bronco #1. This is because [[ContinuityNod she started]] as an audience member Rico Suave had {{dare|tobebadass}}d to try wrestling.
798* Wrestling/{{Kamala}} went to a double-DQ with [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/roh/roh-h.html Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Champion]] Wrestling/BryanDanielson at a [[http://www.wrestlingonfire.com/ Liberty States Wrestling]] (which became Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA On Fire) show in Bridgeport, CT on September 30, 2006.

801* Wrestling/MattHardy cheering on girlfriend Reby Sky at SHINE wrestling events (and throwing in the towel during a match with Jessicka Havok)
802* After a five year absence, Dr. Wagner Jr made a one off Wrestling/{{CMLL}} appearance in 2013 promising revenge against Atlantis and Ultimo Guerrero, a promise he would not even attempt to make good on until 2015. In 2014, Wagner's partner in crime [[Wrestling/LaParka L.A. Par-k]] would also appear, to promote the independent "Liga Elite" promotion but also would not make regular CMLL appearances again until 2015.
803* Film/{{Machete}} has appeared in the audience at Wrestling/LuchaUnderground shows.
804* Wrestling/JimRoss has never physically appeared at a TNA event but his image has alongside comments he has made about the show, such as when Dixie Carter was put through a table.

806[[/folder]]
807
808[[folder:Radio]]
809* Radio/RidersRadioTheater - the week's musical guest usually gets a small speaking part in the episode as well.
810* The June 8, 1936 ''Radio/LuxRadioTheatre'' production of ''Film/TheThinMan'' featured a random interview with silent screen star Theda Bara, who just happened to be in the audience. It is the only surviving recording of Bara's voice.
811[[/folder]]
812
813[[folder:Theme Parks]]
814* Right at the end of ''Ride/JimmyNeutronsNicktoonBlast'' at Ride/UniversalStudios, in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, Carl is using a magic wand to poof in a bunch of llamas, which results in the Dalai Llama getting poofed in as well.
815* In the [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland]] versions of ''It's a Small World'', over 50 Disney characters make cameos within the countries their stories originated and/or took place in.
816* During the Franchise/IndianaJones scene in ''Ride/TheGreatMovieRide'', among the hieroglyphics were WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse as a pharaoh being served cheese by WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck and [[Franchise/StarWars C3PO fixing R2D2]] with a screwdriver.
817* The version of ''[[Franchise/TheLittleMermaid The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure]]'' at Disney's California Adventure features [[Film/TheIncredibleMrLimpet Mr. Limpet]] among the fish in the "Under the Sea" scene.
818[[/folder]]
819
820[[folder:Toys]]
821* Franchise/{{Lego}} has an incredibly large fondness for littering their licensed franchises with cameos in their on-line animations and in video games, usually ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' (mostly because they both have characters played by Creator/HarrisonFord, see). It's basically a RunningGag now.
822[[/folder]]
823
824[[folder:Video Games]]
825* Used quite frequently in video games; the longer the series, the more likely you are to have cameos in later games from older characters. [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]], in particular, has had so many cameos (even in games that aren't made by Nintendo) that they outstrip his appearances in games where he's playable.
826* Two bosses from ''VideoGame/GunstarHeroes'' appear in ''VideoGame/AlienSoldier''.
827* At the beginning of ''VideoGame/{{Alleyway}}'', an old Breakout clone for the Game Boy, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] runs across the screen and hops into the pilot seat of the paddle.
828* Every stage in ''VideoGame/TheAngryVideoGameNerdAdventures'' has a certain Internet personality hanging out in a hidden area, usually filled with lots of power-ups. They include Music/{{Brentalfloss}}, Creator/{{Egoraptor}}, [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Wiz and Boomstick]], and the dev team.
829* ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': At The Sicilian Jar and The Nest bars, both Jill and Dana from ''VisualNovel/VA11HALLA'' have cameo appearances when they're visiting to be guest bartenders.
830* [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/{{Okami}} Amaterasu]]]] makes an appearance in ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' in one of the episode recaps. Considering both games are published by Capcom, and are based on Asian Mythology, it makes a lot of sense.
831* In ''VideoGame/AtlantisNoNazo'', the old master whom you rescue at the end is the hero from Creator/{{Sunsoft}}'s earlier game ''VideoGame/{{Ikki}}''.
832* In ''[[VideoGame/AtomicRoboKidSpecial Atomic Robo-Kid Special]]'', the OneUp dolls are Ninja-kun from the game of the same name and Mutron-kun from ''VideoGame/MutantNight''.
833* One of ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'''s tape recordings, made by a Mr. "Shawn Flynn," was voiced by WebVideo/{{Jacksepticeye}}.
834* The ''Radio/BlazBlueRadio'' show, ''[=BuruRaji=]'', features none other than [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear SOL BADGUY]]!!
835* ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'':
836** A number of famous characters appear in the background at the Summit, including [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]], [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Finn and Jake]], [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]], [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princesses Celestia and Luna]], [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Steve?]], and several members of the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}.
837** Wagering certain items at the battle arena in [=YouTube=] will trigger fights with famous [=YouTubers=], like the WebVideo/GameGrumps and WebVideo/{{Markiplier}}.
838* ''Franchise/BreathOfFire'' series:
839** In ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireI'', an easter egg shows [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Chun-Li]] practicing her Lightning Kick.
840** In ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireII'', Nina must fight a boss who turns out to be the Nina from I, the sorceress Bleu/Deis is a hidden OptionalPartyMember, and Bo and Karn appear on the optional Giant's Island.
841** In ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'', Bleu/Deis appears again, this time playing a small role in the plot and acting as a Master. Several generic characters also look like Ox and Mogu from I, and Sten from II.
842** In ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'', Momo from III is a Master, and in the EndGamePlus, Rei and Teepo appear to sell you a unique item.
843* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' appears in the Sega game ''VideoGame/{{Bug|1995}}'', twice. The first is a bonus level where Bug was able to race him (Sonic's route was a lot longer and uneven, so it balanced out), and the second one was a secret area where Sonic would appear and leave a bunch of powerups on a platform.
844** If you turned the "flying Bug" cheat on which allows Bug to freely move anywhere, you could actually run up to Sonic and kill him in one sting. [[HilarityEnsues He disappears into a poof and 50 points]].
845* ''VideoGame/ChicoryAColorfulTale'':
846** VideoGame/FrogDetective, from the titular video game series, can be found on vacation in Simmering Springs.
847** The art showcased in [[spoiler:Radish's art exhibition in Luncheon]] was [[https://twitter.com/quinnecl/status/1277849450166116352 commissioned]] [[https://twitter.com/quinnecl/status/1284957745112690688 from]] [[https://twitter.com/quinnecl?lang=en Quinn Larsen]].
848* Franchise/SpyroTheDragon made a brief appearance in ''VideoGame/CrashTwinsanity''.
849* ''VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland'' features The Flying Welshman who looks almost identical to Bobbin Threadbare from ''VideoGame/{{Loom}}''. The only difference is he's wearing a lifejacket and has a different voice (''Loom'' had a talkie version, rare at the time)). As ''Loom'' had no sequels, Creator/LucasArts clearly put this in for people wondering what Bobbin was up to.
850** In reference to the ''Loom'' advertisement in the first game, ''VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland'' advertises ''VideoGame/GrimFandango'' in a similar way, with Guybrush encountering the advertiser in a restaurant. The only difference is that the character who does so is the lead character from that game, Manny Cavalera...who doesn't speak to Guybrush on account of being dead.
851* ''VideoGame/DaveTheDiver'' features a cameo of characters from the free to play game ''VideoGame/MasterOfEternity'' (going under its release name of ''Stra Stella'' which is treated as an in-universe anime), and resident [[TheBlacksmith gunsmith]] Duff is a huge fan of Leahs in particular.
852* The [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne Demi-fiend]] makes an appearance in ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' as [[SNKBoss the]] AnthropomorphicPersonification [[SNKBoss of Dr. Kevorkian's wet dreams.]]
853** And the UpdatedRerelease of ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' features [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]] as an early boss fight (including a ShoutOut to the his appearance at the start of DMC 2) and later as a crucial participant in a lengthy sidequest.
854* While the series' recurring Kremling antagonists have yet to appear in person in Retro Studios' run on the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' series, K. Rool, the BigBad of the first three games, appears in rock formation form in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryTropicalFreeze'' (complete with a bunch of 10 bananas where his crown would be).
855* In ''VideoGame/DoomII'', if you turn on the clipping cheat and go inside the Icon of Sin's head, you discover that TheManBehindTheCurtain is John Romero's head on a stake. Also, the "satanic" speech that is heard before its attack commences is actually the following, played backwards through a modulator: "To win the game you must kill me, John Romero." There are also two entire ''levels'' taken from ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'', complete with the iconic blue-suited gestapos. The second level finishes up with VideoGame/CommanderKeen of all people making an appearance.
856* In ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'', several ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' characters appear in wyrmprints like Forte in "Lord of the Skies" and Cerberus (with Coco and Mimi) in "Fireside Gathering". The Jeanne d'Arc dragon also takes some obvious cues from the Jeannes in ''Rage'' and ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'', including being voiced by Creator/MegumiHan in Japanese.
857* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'':
858** The trio of heroes from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestII'' appear as summonable helpers in the arcade game ''Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road Victory'', both supporting the player and their monsters with defensive buffs and finishing their enemies off with Kazapple, also known as Alldain or Thordain — a spell that didn't exist until ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV''. The Cousins also pop up in ''VideoGame/FortuneStreet'' spinoffs.
859** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII'': Torneko and Ragnar from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'' are the first two opponents in the Monster Arena's S Rank battles.
860** In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestX'', the hero/heroine is implied to have fought evil in the history of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIX'' and left behind the White Star Sword (a white version of the Hypernova Sword).
861** In the GoldenEnding of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'', [[spoiler:as the Yggdragon speaks to the Luminary]], she alludes to a time in the future when "(her) power may be turned against the world"[[note]]Alluding to the Dragonlord, whom she even resembles the true form of on a physical level[[/note]] that someone would arise just as the Luminary did. Cut to the Hero of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'' standing on a high precipice overlooking Castle Charlock with the Sword of Erdrick at his side, psyching up for the final battle.
862** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestHeroesTheWorldTreesWoeAndTheBlightBelow'': Rodrigo Briscoletti, Nera's father from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'', appears for the duration of one quest.
863* In the bonus modes of ''VideoGame/DuelSaviorDestiny'' a couple of characters from early games the company made are playable characters.
864* In a secret room in ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D'' there's a [[VideoGame/{{Doom}} certain iconic marine in green armor]] impaled on a pyre. Duke even comments "[[{{Pun}} Hmm, that's one Doomed space marine!]]"
865** Similarly, in the first level of the first episode there's an arcade cabinet of ''VideoGame/DukeNukem 2''. Pressing use on it earns the one-liner "Hmm, don't have time to play with myself." Attentive players would notice that doing this also [[spoiler: opens a door next to the machine containing a holo-duke]], bringing the joke full circle.
866** ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'' hit back by including a partially dismembered Duke Nukem hanging from a chain. On finding him, Caleb quips "I've got time to play with ''you''"; pressing use on it makes it swing in place, to which Caleb says "Ooh, shake it baby." [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P47lVeGncY Check it out]].
867* It's a slightly more substantial part than a cameo, but there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference suggesting that Daedric Prince Sheogorath in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' is actually the player character from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'' (the ''Shivering Isles'' expansion for the latter explains how this happened).
868* ''WebAnimation/NCHProductions''' mascot, Meow Meow, has cameoed thrice in the ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy'' series. He first appeared as a {{summon|magic}} for Natalie in ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy2'', before appearing as a questgiver and skill in ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy3''. After his absence in ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy4'', he would cameo in ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy5'' as the Meow Meow Badge.
869* Dr. Robert Hoffman of ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter'' fame makes an appearance in ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey'' as the main town's apothecary.
870* In ''VisualNovel/ExtracurricularActivities'', Waffle from ''[[VisualNovel/{{IDEKA}} I.D.E.K.A.]]'', the previous visual novel the creators made, appears as a school librarian.
871* ''VideoGame/{{Extrapower}}'' is fond of sneaking cameo appearances from other games in the series and from Happy Challenger Yamada:
872** ''VideoGame/ExtrapowerStarResistance'': Maintaining a high kill count in Stage 1 and halfway through Stage 2 and Yamada himself from Happy Challenger Yamada drives up on his delivery motorcycle to throw the player a pizza.
873** ''VideoGame/ExtrapowerGiantFist'': Nimon, Shiira and Juno from ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce Attack of Darkforce]]'' appear at the end of the Mille City, Industrial Zone stage before the stage boss. Keep an eye on the water between shark and [[TheMenInBlack men in black]] attacks and you can see them launch out of the water and then wade for the remainder of the screen. In the first Mille City stage, ''the'' Pizza Happy mascot from Happy Challenger Yamada can appear as an EasterEgg.
874* At least one cameo has been the inspiration for an ''entire series'': Ryo Sakazaki's playable cameo in ''VideoGame/FatalFury Special'' inspired the creation of ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series, while Akuma's cameo in ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom'' lead to the creation of the ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' series.
875* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Balthier (who else?) in the rerelease of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''. Ramza tells him that the path they're on is dangerous, and Balthier responds that a leading man doesn't balk in the face of danger... but this ''does'' feel more like a cameo role.
876* ''VideoGame/{{Flight}}'': Several other flash game characters appear [[spoiler:after transforming]], including [[VideoGame/TossTheTurtle the Turtle]] and [[VideoGame/HedgehogLaunch the Hedgehog]].
877* ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'': Week 5 has a whole treasure trove of famous Platform/{{Newgrounds}} characters, alongside several other internet icons, that cameo in the background. In total, there's Darnell and Pico himself from the ''VideoGame/{{Pico}}'' series, [[https://twitter.com/z0ne?lang=en ZONE-tan]], the [[https://twitter.com/nightmarecops Nightmare Cops]], Kenstar from Creator/{{Egoraptor}}'s ''WebAnimation/GirlchanInParadise'', evilsk8r's mascot Buggy, [[https://twitter.com/cooldudetm @cooldudetm's]] mascot, WebAnimation/{{Blockhead}}, VideoGame/MeatBoy, [[https://twitter.com/OneyNG OneyNG]], [[https://twitter.com/psychicpebble Psychicpebbles]], characters from the [[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/754092 GENTLES]] Newgrounds short, WebAnimation/SubloAndTangyMustard, [[VideoGame/HenryStickminSeries Henry Stickmin]], xXsquidwardXx's parody rapper from their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exclOSuHdI0 FNF parody]], Monster, and Music/HatsuneMiku.
878* This actually happened with ''[[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfVideoGames classic video games]]''. The VideoGame/{{Galaxian}} flagship has had cameo appearances in ''VideoGame/PacMan'', ''Rally-X'', and ''VideoGame/DigDug'' among others, and even the newer ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''.
879* In ''VideoGame/GoatSimulator'', you can find Music/{{Deadmau5}} putting on a show on top of a skyscraper. You can even don his signature helmet, with the ability to make people around you spontaneously dance.
880* In ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'', several characters who did not receive a summer version make an appearance in other summer characters' artwork. Other examples include characters from other franchises who appear in some Fate Episodes.
881** Heles' second artwork depicts Seruel rubbing sunscreen on her.
882** Lancelot and Vane are in the background of Percival's second artwork, playing volleyball.

887* In ''VideoGame/HitmanAbsolution'', VideoGame/KaneAndLynch have cameos in the first stages of Act II. Kane is seen in a bar while Lynch is at a shooting range in a gun store.
888* ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia'' makes plenty of [[ShoutOut/{{Neptunia}} shout-outs]] and references to other video games, often by using [[LawyerFriendlyCameo silhouettes of the characters and avoiding using their actual names]]. One {{side quest}}, however, basically has you chasing after (and then fighting) Macaroon, the merchant girl from ''VideoGame/TrinityUniverse'', another of Idea Factory's dungeon exploring [=RPGs=].
889* [[WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster Toaster, Lampy, Radio, Kirby, and AC]] cameo in indie IdleGame ''VideoGame/IdleMastermind''.
890* ''VideoGame/TheIdolmaster2'' - So far [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]] and 876's idols Ai Hidaka and Eri Mizutani are available in DLC as in story rivals for the 765 Pro idols.
891* While playing through a level in ''VideoGame/JediKnight'', there's one small home with a finnicky automatic door; it'll only open when Katarn is a certain distance away. Move quickly enough, and you can get inside to find [[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Max]], holding a blaster very much like the one you start out with. Lead him out and he'll start blasting your enemies for you. Happen to attack him, and he'll come after '''you'''!
892* Tons of them in ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle''. Comes with being a game based on a LongRunner franchise:
893** The menus have, among others, Robert E.O. Speedwagon, Wang Chan, [[spoiler:Cyborg]] Rudolf von Stroheim, Oingo and Boingo, Ringo Roadagain...

905* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'':
906** [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]] makes a cameo appearance in ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'' where you have to freeze some Metroids for her. Goku and Chao appear and R.O.B and his creator appear too. Chao also appears in Dream Land 2, though only in the Japanese version.
907** ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamland'' includes some from stone statues of Rick, Coo and Kine from ''[[VideoGame/KirbysDreamland2 Dreamland 2]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/KirbysDreamland3 3]]'' and Marx from ''[[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Super Star]]''. ''[[VideoGame/KirbyMassAttack Mass Attack]]'' has Max Flexer, Chef Shiitake, and the Holy Nightmare Co.'s Salesman from [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa the anime]]. And finally, ''Super Star'' has [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] while Ultra has him with Peach, Luigi and Wario.
908* All over the place in Creator/HideoKojima's games.
909** Snake makes a cameo in ''VideoGame/{{Boktai}}'', although he's dressed in a different outfit and calling himself "a man with no name" (since the game is [[Film/DollarsTrilogy spaghetti Western-themed]]). When you save him, he'll start an Item shop and sell you Boxes.
910* In ''VisualNovel/KokoroNoDokiDokiSenpai'', [[Anime/DragonBallZ Vegeta]] is the officiant at a wedding.
911* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
912** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'': According to the Japanese instruction booklet, Digdogger and Manhandla are respectively a Unira from ''VideoGame/CluCluLand'' and a Piranha Plant from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' (incidentally, Rupees use Ingot sprites from the former). This is removed from localized manuals. The Bubble enemy may also be an allusion to the latter game's [Lava] Bubbles (then known as Podoboos).
913** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'': A pair of Chain Chomps appear in Turtle Rock. There's also a portrait of Mario in a hanging in a house.
914** Many enemies of the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series have crossed over into ''Zelda'' to bother Link instead. Bob-Ombs, Goombas, Lakitus, Piranha Plants, Thwomps, Cheep-Cheeps, Bloopers and Boos amongst several others have appeared in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening''.
915** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'':
916*** A flying Mario's picture can be seen in the Hyrule Castle.
917*** If you hack into the game's files you can find an [[VideoGame/StarFox Arwing]] enemy. Apparently it was coded in to test a flight pattern for dungeon boss Volvagia.
918* Played for laughs in ''VideoGame/LEGOMarvelSuperHeroes'', where instead of saving a generic face during the levels like previous Lego games, the player (if the person chooses to) can save Creator/StanLee during the story missions, different locations on the world map, and even the special Deadpool comic missions. Lampshaded by Stan Lee, himself, who constantly gives statements about making cameo appearances throughout the game after you rescued him. The whole point is to poke fun at how Stan Lee often makes cameo appearances in both his live action movies and animated projects. Deadpool himself also makes a brief cameo in every one of the main story levels. You’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for where he’ll show up!
919* The 2023 rerelease of ''VideoGame/LikeADragonIshin'' features many prominent celebrities and internet personalities as Trooper Cards that bestow the play with special abilities, including professional wrestler Wrestling/KennyOmega, actor Creator/RahulKohli, cosplayer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Le Vampy Bitme]], composer [[https://twitter.com/alex_moukala Alex Moukala]], twitch streamer [[https://streamers.fandom.com/wiki/CohhCarnage Cohh Carnage]], and VTuber [[WebVideo/VShojo Nyatasha Nyanners]].
920* In the ''VideoGame/LonelyWolfTreat'' series, various characters from Creator/NomnomNami's other works make minor appearances in the series.
921** The main characters of ''VisualNovel/SyrupAndTheUltimateSweet'' make minor appearances in ''Clever Fox Moxie'' and ''Wandering Wolf Trick''. They are also part of an optional sidequest in ''Dreaming Treat''.
922** Time and Space from ''VisualNovel/HerTearsWereMyLight'' do not appear in person, but are represented by two cosplaying witches named Thyme and Spice.
923** Strudel from ''VisualNovel/FirstKissAtASpookySoiree'' can be found on the beach in ''Dreaming Treat''.
924* In TheStinger of ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', [[spoiler:the Stargazer]] is voiced by Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon (unless you picked the [[spoiler:Refusal]] ending in the Extended Cut, in which case [[spoiler:the Stargazer]] is an alien woman).
925* The later ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' games feature a number of cameos from Konami's Boktai series, including series creator Hideo Kojima (due to the latter three Battle Network games each having link functionality with one of the Boktai games...at least in [[NoExportForYou Japan]].
926* The first batch of ''VideoGame/{{McPixel}}'s'' DLC had stages for Website/YouTube {{Lets Play}}ers who supported the game, such as WebVideo/JesseCox & LetsPlay/PewDiePie.
927* Music/MichaelJackson cameo'd in ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5'' as well as [[VideoGame/Ready2RumbleBoxing Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2]], in which he voiced himself and was motion-captured.
928* In ''VideoGame/ParasiteEve'', Cloud Strife makes a cameo. As a piece of anti-virus software. Attached to a computer magazine called 'Aeris'.
929* ''VideoGame/Persona5'': [[VideoGame/Persona4 Rise]] and [[VideoGame/Persona4DancingAllNight Kanami]] appear in individual advertisements at subway stations. You can also hear characters from ''VideoGame/Persona2'', ''VideoGame/Persona3'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4'' being interviewed on tv at various points throughout the year. Tanaka from ''Persona 3'' also shows up as the administrator of the "Dark Net" you can buy illicit goods off.
930* ''VideoGame/PlaystationAllStarsBattleRoyale''. A crossover fighting game, so it's a no-brainer. Each stage involves elements from some other game interfering with that one, you can get chibi versions of certain characters to cheer you on in fights, story modes involve characters from the same franchise as that character, etc. Also, some finishing moves include cameos from other characters of that franchise too. ([[VideoGame/SlyCooper Sly's]] Lvl. 1 finishing move has Murray come out and attack, [[VideoGame/PaRappaTheRapper PaRappa's]] Lvl. 3 finishing move has him put on a concert with characters such as Lammy and Katy Kat watching, etc.)
931* In the files of ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', you can find an updated sprite of the Sumo enemy from ''VideoGame/MendelPalace''.
932* Miles Edgeworth makes a cameo at the end of ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonVsPhoenixWrightAceAttorney'', after the first credits sequence.
933* ''VideoGame/QuakeIIIArena'' has the PlayerCharacters from Doom and Quake 1, and a number of playable characters from Quake 2 were brushed up for the new engine and included. Doom's death animation is even a faithful fully 3D reproduction of his iconic throat-grab from the original game. [=TankJr=] is [[AllThereInTheManual explicitly stated]] to be a Strogg, although nothing exactly like him appears in Quake 2. And that's just the characters included on the disc.... Bullfrog made an official add-on model for Quake 3 of ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper 2'''s Great Horny.
934* Oliver and Hardy as French Foreign Legionnaires cameo'd in ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryIII''.
935* The Special Flag from ''VideoGame/RallyX'' is a recurring item in Namco games.
936* In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilDuringTheStorm,'' Kevin encounters [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Jill Valentine]] at Bar Jack shortly before the ZombieApocalypse begins. Jill tries to convince Kevin to quit the R.P.D. and skip town due to Chief Irons' corruption and Umbrella's machinations, and even asks him to help her with her investigations, but Kevin just dismisses it as a crazy conspiracy theory. This prompts her to leave in frustration, where she'll eventually become the protagonist of her own game.
937* Characters from the ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' series (such as the masked wrestler, the Wandering Samurai, and the Chorus Kids) make guest appearances in ''VideoGame/GameAndWario''. Returning the favor, ''Rhythm Heaven Megamix'' has a special mode where characters from ''[=WarioWare=]'' appear in various rhythm games.
938* After the series mostly died out after the 16-bit era, Sparkster of the ''VideoGame/RocketKnightAdventures'' series became Creator/{{Konami}}'s cameo specialist, appearing in numerous games of this publisher:
939** ''VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}'' (as a customer in the [[VideoGame/MetalGear Outer Heaven]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACtYtf3e2II#t=1m18s bar]]),
940** ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}: Shattered Soldier'' (as a shadowy figure in the game's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrJ7zWGI9MI special ending]]),
941** ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'' (as a hidden one-on-one duel [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJC4BlM36ow#t=1m00s opponent]], and after defeating him, as the [[NewGamePlus Secret Shop]] 's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_mPMynGSSM#t=0m17s owner]]),
942** ''[[VideoGame/GanbareGoemon Ganbare Goemon 2]]'' (appears in one of the [[http://www.gamingsanctuary.com/SparksterSNES.html Amusement Park's rooms]]),
943** ''[[VideoGame/TrackAndField New International Track & Field]]'' (as a Konami [[http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/sparkster/sparkster.htm playable character]]),
944** ''Jikkyou Powerful Pro Wrestling '96 : MAX VOLTAGE'' (as [[http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/jpprowrestling/jpprowrestling.htm a Konami character]], in a mix design with Wrestling/HulkHogan).
945* ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'':
946** Creator/ChisaYokoyama and Akio Suyama cameo as the respective voices of Sakura Shinguji and Ichiro Ogami in the prologue to ''VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove''.
947** In ''VideoGame/SakuraWars2019'', Yokoyama returns for yet another brief cameo as Sakura Shinguji.
948* ''VideoGame/SaturnBomberman'' eschews having just multi-colored Bombermen for battle mode: instead, you get the White and Black Bombers, then [[VideoGame/AdventureIsland Master Higgins]], [[VideoGame/MilonsSecretCastle Milon]], VideoGame/{{Bonk}}, and several ''VideoGame/TengaiMakyou'' characters to choose from.
949* Website/{{DayNine}} voices himself in the tutorial of ''VisualNovel/{{SC2VN}}''.
950* Seeing as how the ''VideoGame/SegaSuperstars'' series involves crossovers, other characters cameoing in the courts and tracks is inevitable. (Chao as spectators on [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] tracks, Yoyo, Rhyth, Professor K, and others on ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' tracks, the VideoGame/BurningRangers flying around the track based on the game named after them, and so on).
951** In ''All-Stars Racing'', Ristar makes his first appearance in 16 years hidden on the Death Egg Zone track.
952** In ''All-Stars Racing Transformed'', Advertising/SegataSanshiro appears in the Race of Ages, still riding the rocket he saved Sega HQ from in his final commercial.
953* ''VideoGame/ShadowWarrior1997'' has [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]] appear in a secret room, BoundAndGagged.
954* The Creator/{{Sierra}} adventure games ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'' and ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'' were known for including famous figures from fairy tales/mythology and science fiction, respectively.
955* People who donated $1000 for ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'''s Website/IndieGogo campaign could have a background character they designed appeare in the background. Besides the many {{Original Character}}s, in the River King Casino, there's Matt and Woolie from ''WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay'' and Yuzuriha from ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth''. The Glass Canopy stage has [[http://cc-sh.wikia.com/wiki/Shady Shady ''from CC & SH'']], Sanshee-Tan, the mascot of the online website [[http://sanshee.com/ 'Sanshee']], and Zone-Tan, the mascot of the extremely NSFW 'Zone-Archive.
956* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series
957** In ''VideoGame/BlueSphere'', after completing a stage, the difficulty of that stage is displayed. If the difficulty rating is high enough, sprites of Mecha Sonic, Eggrobo, and the animal buddies can appear.
958** ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' is filled to the brim with cameos. Most notable is [=NiGHTS=] in the 3DS version, making them the only non-Sonic character to appear in the game.
959* Yoda and Darth Vader get cameos in ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur IV'', depending on the console you play on. Both versions have [[VideoGame/StarWarsTheForceUnleashed The Apprentice]], making his first appearance (''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'' was released [[EarlyBirdCameo a few months later]] than ''Soul Calibur IV'').
960** Soul Calibur II also had console-specific cameo characters: Xbox got ComicBook/{{Spawn}}, [=PS2=] got [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Heihachi]], and Gamecube got [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]].
961* In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 2'', Ken's home stage features cameos by Morrigan, Felicia, Hsien-Ko, Mei-Ling and Lord Raptor from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', Biff Slamkovich and Jumbo Flapjack from ''VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters'', Captain Commando and Ginzu the Ninja from ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando'', the two Unknown Soldiers from ''VideoGame/ForgottenWorlds'', Pure the Magician from ''Adventure Quiz: Capcom World 2'', Michelle Heart from ''VideoGame/LegendaryWings'', Strider Hiryu from ''VideoGame/{{Strider}}'', Linn Kurosawa from ''VideoGame/AlienVsPredatorCapcom'' and Capcom's CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto as a butler, all as guests attending Eliza's birthday party.
962* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' has [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] appear in the Rose Town inn after the [[StrangeSyntaxSpeaker Bowyer]] incident ends. Examining him with "A" triggers the Zelda "secret discovered" sound effect. Also, at one point, [[VideoGame/{{Metroid}} Samus]] appears in the guest room of [[ChaosArchitecture Peach's Castle.]] Talk to her and she'll tell you she's resting up for Mother Brain. Why she chose to go all the way to the Mushroom Kingdom [[FridgeLogic instead of just resting in her ship or something and saving time]] is a mystery. There's also a Samus doll in Booster's Tower, and models of a ''VideoGame/StarFox'' Arwing and the [[VideoGame/FZero Blue Falcon and the Fire Stingray]] in Hinopio's mart. Finally, although he doesn't make an appearance, Bruce Lee is referenced by Mallow when Mario is about to rush in and engage Bowyer.
963* [[http://i.imgur.com/8vaaKMF.jpg One intermission scene]] in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsBX'' features the respective OriginalGeneration from ''W'', ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsL'' in the background.
964* While the incantation of Mega Man used in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' is the ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' incantation of Mega Man, Mega Man's Final Smash has cameos of Mega Man's incantations from ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'', ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' and ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce''.
965* Sort of in ''VideoGame/TerminatorResistance''. Going through the Skynet nightmare hospital, you crawl out of a vent into a room and find the dead body of a Resistance soldier strapped down to an operating table with all his organs removed. The guy looks like Creator/RobertPatrick. And then a familiar DroneOfDread plays...
966* If you play Level 9 in Mode B of the NES ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' and successfully complete it, various Nintendo characters will appear to congratulate you. The higher you have the "High" setting set (which fills the play area with random blocks at the start), the more characters will show.
967* [[VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile Lenneth Valkyrie]] makes cameo appearances as an OptionalBoss in various Creator/TriAce games.
968* Vyse, Aika, and Fina of ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' fame make cameo appearances eight years later in ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles''; Vyse and Aika as playable soldiers and Fina (who's apparently one of a set of identical triplets) as the medic that rescues downed soldiers.
969** A Vyse lookalike also showed up in the ''Anime/ValkyriaChronicles'' anime. [[DeathByCameo He died.]]
970* Bean from ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'' has a cameo in the football game ''VideoGame/VirtuaStriker 2''. This however was considered to be an UrbanLegendOfZelda for over a decade because it seemed so weird and no one could figure out how to view him in any incarnation of the game. The only official note of this was an article in Official Sega Saturn Magazine, with everything else being a few subpar screencaps shot by fans online. Eventually fans figure out he could be seen when a certain team won fifty times against the CPU. Bean's cameo is not as random as it seems as his official character bio from ''Sonic the Fighters'' says he is a soccer player.
971** ''Virtua Striker 3'' has a hidden unlockable team in "FC Sonic", consisting of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Eggman, and a handful of Chao.
972* ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'' has a really, really obscure one. The professor from the bonus rooms is actually Dr. Arewo Stein from the Japanese game ''VideoGame/ForTheFrogTheBellTolls''. On that note, Mr Game and Watch (from both ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' and the ''VideoGame/GameAndWatch'' handheld games) appears, although he turns out to be a magically disguised ghost princess/cat being.
973** In [[VideoGame/WarioLandSuperMarioLand3 the first game]], [[spoiler:[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]]] makes a cameo in one ending to [[spoiler:steal your riches away.]]
974* ''VideoGame/{{Webbed}}'' has a cameo by the main character of the game ''[[https://store.steampowered.com/app/971030/SkateBIRD SkateBIRD]]'' as the NPC who runs the skateboard minigame.
975* [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Lucca]] makes a brief appearance in the first town of ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' to explain how save points work. [[spoiler: [[DoomedHometown Given what happens next,]] it's fairly likely that we've got a DeathByCameo here.]]
976* In ''VideoGame/XMenTheRavagesOfApocalypse'', obscure '80s X-Men ally Gateway appears as the end level marker, and his powers provide the transport from one level to the next.
977* ''VideoGame/YouAreNotTheHero'': VideoGame/{{Shantae}} appears at one point and taught Petula how to dance.
978[[/folder]]
979

1001[[/folder]]
1002
1003[[folder:Webcomics]]
1004* Quite common in webcomics, especially in the case where the artists are personal friends. [[http://crossovers.dragoneers.com/ The Webcomic Crossover & Cameo Archive]] is a comprehensive and ''very'' extensive index of webcomic cameos.
1005* ''Webcomic/LiberalArt'' appropriately sees many liberal politicians visiting campus.
1006* The Nostalgia Critic makes one in 'Webcomic/WasteOfTime'.

1013* ''Webcomic/TheCrossoverlord'', being a webcomic superhero crossover series set in a multiverse, tends to cameo various heroic characters rather frequently. However, it really went over the top with [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Crossoverlord/?p=598517 this page]].

There's also a [[https://trixiebooru.org/1555837 certain pony]] in ''Once Upon A Zeppelin'' who resembles the infamous author of ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' but fans [[FanonDiscontinuity have decided that one was unintentional]] even if that one was meant to be (It very likely wasn't, but the resemblance is ''chilling'').

1127** ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' has an odd one. In one of the ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' shorts, the [[LanternJawOfJustice Crimson Chin]] makes his debut fighting a HumongousMecha: the robot from the Creator/FrederatorStudios logo.

1135* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
1136** When the series' fourth season, ''Revenge of the Island'', introduced a new batch of contestants, cameos were given to the old contestants, with all 24 appearing together at the start of the season and then Owen, Izzy, Bridgette, Lindsay, Feral Ezekiel, Gwen, Duncan, Heather, and DJ all getting their own extended cameos in the episodes afterwards. Additionally, Season 5, ''All-Stars'', gave some more cameos to Izzy, Feral Ezekiel, and Owen.
1137** In the spinoff ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'', the final episode has cameos from Anne Maria, Chris [=McLean=], and Blaineley all in New York (although the latter two have their faces obscured, with Blaineley wearing pink instead of her usual red).

The end of the film even manages to have [[spoiler:a CreatorCameo in the form of a "{{flashback}}", showing Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird just as they are finishing the ''very first issue'' of the TMNT hoping it would sell, literally bringing the series full-circle.]]
