Some directors always make a cameo in their films, such as Alfred Hitchcock. Then there's Stan Lee and the Marvel movies. However, there are even more actors and musicians who have marked their brief presence in a film or two. Sometimes it's obvious, but others you may not have even noticed!

▲Appearing alongside Dana Carvey, Crystal has a quick scene as a mime waiter, with a few puns thrown in.

▲At a charity golf tournament, Adam Sandler gets paired with a celebrity, who happens to be Bob Barker. Things get physical after Barker loses it with Sandler’s performance.

▲As Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) photographs the World Unity Festival, Gray sings her song, ‘My Nutmeg Phantasy,’ onstage.

▲Blanchett appears in full mask and suit while taking part in a crime scene investigation.

▲Appearing in the very beginning of the movie, Bieber is one of the victims of a villain who's going around killing the world’s beautiful people.

▲The new Thor movie already has an all-star cast, but cameos are always welcome. As a disguised Loki directs a play about his death, Matt Damon plays this fake Loki.

▲In that same play, Neill plays the role of fake Odin. Luke Hemsworth (yes, Chris' brother) plays fake Thor.

▲In direct contrast to his previous tame role as Doogie Howser, Neil Patrick Harris went full throttle into this wild-man persona.

▲Initially starring as a co-pilot in the film, Abdul-Jabbar reveals he’s actually the legendary basketball player after a little boy suggests that he’s not hustling enough on the court.

▲The singer recorded the theme song for the second ‘Ghostbusters’ film, which earned him a bit of screen time. He briefly appears as a doorman who requests a proton pack for his brother.

▲In the more recent Muppet adaptation, Jim Parsons plays the human version of Kermit during the song ‘Man or Muppet.’

▲Gaga appears as a thick-accented waitress in the film.

▲Tucci plays Merlin in the opening sequence of the fifth movie in the ‘Transformers’ franchise.

▲After the spoof of the spoof cuts, they swing around to the “director” of this fake film, who is revealed to be none other than Steven Spielberg.

▲Making a brief appearance is Charlie Sheen’s father, Martin Sheen. Martin shows up in a passing boat, looking very much like his character from ‘Apocalypse Now’ (1979).

▲

John Cusack reflects back on his exes to find out where he went wrong, to the tune of Springsteen’s guitar. But it's not just Springsteen's voice that creeps into the film—the musician appears on our screens as well!
