![There was a Beatle in Monty Python's Life of Brian. George Harrison not only donated $3 million to get this movie made, but also founded a company to produce it. And what did he get in return? 15 seconds of screen time as a random dude who breaks the fourth wall with a Liverpudlian allo, then disappears. If only they had given him a bigger role; just imagine how famous he might have been. CRACKED COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/4/3/997643.jpg)
![The stabby Santa in Hot Fuzz is a famous director. You might remember Simon Pegg getting knifed by an angry Kris Kringle at the beginning of Hot Fuzz. What you might not realize is that the assailant also directed The Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson took no credit for his brief but memorable appearance. And the blade was forged in the fires of Mt. Doom! Probably. CRACKED COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/4/2/997642.jpg)
![An Oscar-nominated actor went undercover in Kingdom of Heaven. King Baldwin IV was the most famous king to have leprosy. In this 2005 Ridley Scott movie, he's played by Edward Norton in a mask. During shooting, that mask never came off, so nobody knew it was him. None of the cast knew they were working with the guy who had just been in Death to Smoochy.

![One of Kurt Russell's most successful movies was one nobody knows he was in. R.J. MacReady was in Forrest Gump? Yup! Even though you didn't see him, you definitely heard him. When things didn't work out with the original Elvis impersonator, Russell was brought in to do the voice of The King as a favor to director Robert Zemeckis. Which surely was the less questionable solution than if they had brought in Nicolas Cage. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/3/5/997635.jpg)
![The Blues Brothers featured a whole lot of cameos from musicians... .. and Steven Spielberg. The legendary director shows up as the county tax assessor Jake and Elwood must pay to keep the orphanage from being shut down. Which was pretty much the only payment he received for his contribution. 2 It was probably either that or more aliens/dinosaurs/sharks.

![Trevor Noah was the voice of Griot in Black Panther. If that talking A.I. sounded familiar, it's almost certainly because you've seen an episode of The Daily Show. Considering a griot is an African storyteller, Noah (who grew up in Apartheid-era South Africa) was an appropriate choice. And he was able to understand Xhosa without subtitles, too.

![Judd Apatow went full frontal in Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. The Lonely Island's second movie crams in a bunch of different celebrity guest stars, but only one showed us their junk instead of their face: Judd Apatow. You'll know the scene when you see it, believe us. Perhaps it was a special treat for anyone who's complained about having to look at his face.

![George Romero was an FBI agent in Silence of the Lambs. After the conversation in which Clarice tells Hannibal Lecter about the lambs screaming in her nightmares, she's hauled away by a group of FBI agents. The agent with the beard is legendary zombie movie director George Romero. Fortunately, he resisted the temptation to reanimate Buffalo Bill's bathtub buddy.

![The voice of Beavis and Butt-Head was in the South Park movie. One of the most memorable moments in Bigger, Longer & Uncut is when Kenny shows his face and speaks without the muffle for the first time. And it just so happens that it was Mike Judge who voiced him. For three whole lines that were sped up to hide his identity. T KE EPRICA T Unfortunately, the rumors of an upcoming Boomhauer movie with puppets are unfounded. CRACKED COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/3/9/997639.jpg)
![You probably missed Bill Murray in Dumb and Dumber To. His character is hard not to notice, but since he never removes the mask, few have realized he's Harry's meth-cooking roommate, Ice Pick. Which turned out to be the least dumb decision in that film, in retrospect. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/4/0/997640.jpg)
![David Beckham is hiding in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. The famous soccer player took a break from retirement for an easy-to-miss cameo as a projectionist in Guy Ritchie's adaptation of the '60s spy series. Apparently, a funny mustache and glasses were all that was needed to make him pretty much invisible. Props to the wardrobe department for covering up his dopey-looking (and highly recognizable) tattoos. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/3/3/997633.jpg)
![There's a big-deal director playing dead in Hoffa. Danny DeVito and Tim Burton have worked together more times than most people realize. In DeVito's Jimmy Hoffa biopic, Burton had perhaps the most on-brand role of his сагеег. Не appears momentarily as a dead body in a coffin during a funeral. Presumably, Johnny Depp was hiding nearby behind some curtains. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/3/2/997632.jpg)
![Nathan Fillion played a big blue creep in Guardians of the Galaxy. When Peter Quill and the gang arrive at the Kyln, they're threatened by a big alien (who gets lifted in the air by his nostrils by Groot). The voice of that alien? Fillion, who did it as a favor for James Gunn. Не did so well that he got to appear in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, in a scene that was ultimately deleted.
