* The Tick-Tock Crocodile of the Disney version of ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' keeps showing up in miscellaneous Disney properties: the short ''Goliath II'', the ''WesternAnimation/JungleCubs'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Marsupilami}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' TV series; all while he ironically was left out of the actual ''sequel'' to the movie, ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand'' (aside for a cloud formation at the opening).

** Sparkster from ''VideoGame/RocketKnightAdventures'' has had a total of four games; ''Rocket Knight Adventures'' ([[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Genesis]]), ''Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2'' (Genesis), ''Sparkster'' ([[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]]), and ''Rocket Knight'' (UsefulNotes/Xbox360, [[Platform/Playstation3 PS3]], PC), but he has made cameos in numerous Creator/{{Konami}} games, including the Sega CD version of ''VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}'', ''VideoGame/GanbareGoemon 2'' (Super Famicom), ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'' ([[Platform/PlayStation PS1]]), ''VideoGame/ContraShatteredSoldier'' ([[Platform/Playstation2 PS2]]), ''[[VideoGame/KonamiKrazyRacers Krazy Kart Racing]]'' (IOS and Android), and ''New International VideoGame/TrackAndField'' (UsefulNotes/NintendoDS), where he appears as an unlockable character.

Compare to WolverinePublicity, for cameos driven by character popularity, PublicDomainCharacter, for those who can cameo freely due to not being owned by anyone, and ContinuityCameo, if this guy's purpose is to establish continuity between different works. Also compare AdamWesting.

* WebOriginal/JennyEverywhere is a PublicDomainCharacter who doesn't even have an original "canon". So her cameos and crossover appearances definitely outnumber the stories where she's a star.

* ''ComicBook/SevenSoldiersOfVictory'': The original Shining Knight made a number of cameo appearances, including Creator/GrantMorrison's ''ComicBook/SevenSoldiers'' maxiseries, but never had a series of his own.

* Speaking of director cameos, Creator/PeterJackson inserted himself playing a hapless, briefly-seen character in all his Middle Earth films, namely: as [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing a man eating a carrot]] at the village of Bree; as [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers a Rohan soldier]] throwing a spear towards the Uruk-hai who were assaulting the Fortress at Helm's Deep; as [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing one of the Corsairs of Umbar]] briefly seen walking on deck (in the extended edition, the character gets accidentally shot by Legolas as a "warning" shot); as [[Film/TheHobbitAnUnexpectedJourney a Dwarf running from Erebor]] after the dragon Smaug invaded the mountain; as [[Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug the carrot-eating man again]] walking from a pub looking drunk in Bree; and as [[Film/TheHobbitTheBattleOfTheFiveArmies the father of Bilbo Baggins]] on Bilbo's picture in Bag End.

* Although not an actor ''per se'' (making this a case of NonActorVehicle), model Yelena Noura Hadid (known by her StageName Gigi Hadid) has appeared in a few BBC productions:
** ''Series/SilentWitness'' (uncredited, 10 episodes). However, no actual pictures of her cameos ever have been found online, although this is on IMDB.

* The SpacePirate Emeraldas has been this character in the Anime/{{Leijiverse}} for decades, appearing repeatedly but only briefly in various ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'' and ''Manga/GalaxyExpress999'' media. It wasn't until the late 90s that she got [[Anime/QueenEmeraldas her own series]], and the 2000s that she gained roughly the same spotlight time privileges as the other mainstays of TheVerse.

* And as far as the fairer sex goes, Miriam of ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'' has taken to several outside appearances, namely ''VideoGame/KingdomTwoCrowns''' "Dead Lands Monarches" update, ''VideoGame/{{Blasphemous}}'''s "Strife & Ruin" update, and as a costume in ''VideoGame/WallachiaReignOfDracula''.

Plenty of characters appear in {{crossover}}s and [[TheCameo cameos]]. Sometimes, however, a character will have more cameo appearances than otherwise. This is where this trope comes into play. A non-PublicDomainCharacter appears more in crossovers than they do in their own series (assuming they even have a series to begin with).

* Creator/StanLee has had a contractually-obligated CreatorCameo in every Marvel production for years up until his death, [[TheCameo/StanLee and even a few non-Marvel works]].
