Cameos are generally one scene and not listed in main title credits. Cruise is in at least 30% of the film! Shockingly, where are all the great cameos from The Muppet Movies! (Orson Welles as the studio head, anyone?) Christopher Walken's cameos in both True Romance and Pulp Fiction are scene stealing and the absolute definition of "most entertaining cameos". (as well as the Anchorman and Zoolander cameos! Each one a classic.) Finally, totally out of left field but a great moment: David Bowie as Pontious Pilate in Martin Scorsese's "Last Temptation of Christ" Not to nitpick, but Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder is not a cameo… Cameos are generally one scene and not listed in main title credits.

They pulled the same "Do you know how fast you were going?" bit from the opening scene of Super Troopers. Classic.

I don't think of cameo roles as having a lot more to say than one or two lines. Billy Crystal was good in the Princess Bride, but had a larger role than I would expect in a cameo.

Sadly, that can't qualify as a cameo because it 93. The dude barely had a career. It's just a little piece of knowledge for the fanboys. After the fact. Kevin Says:

The FIRST one that lept to mind was Billy Idol. I had NO IDEA Jackson was in Hot Fuzz and I own that movie. <3 Though it may not count here since many played themselves, I have to give props to Zoolander. I mean, who wasn't in that? David Duchovny as the hyperberic hand model, David Bowie as the walk-off referee, Billy Zane, Lance Bass, Tyson...that sort of stuff just cracks me up. Hey, wait a minute, Billy Idol was playing himself...ZOOLANDER COUNTS! And Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder...I think it's the first time I've enjoyed a Tom Cruise performance in 10 years. Especially the end credits dance. WOW, great list, guys! The FIRST one that lept to mind was Billy Idol.
