10 Best Weird Cameos Of The '90s

Tim Burton to Hulk Hogan, Marty Sheen to Marty Scorsese...

9. Tim Burton - Singles (1992)
“He’s only, like, the next Scorseez...” A laconic video-dating receptionist’s description of Brian, the morose, black-coated director who crops up in Cameron Crowe’s underrated rom-com.

Crowe called on Burton to play this tiny part as a favour between friends. And it works. Though he’s only on screen for a few seconds, Burton does a perfect take-off of a distracted art-school video helmer.

      The best example of Landis doing this, circa the 1980's, is Into the Night. Jim Henson shows up, Amy Heckerling, Jonathon Demme, Roger Vadim and even Landis himself among many more, make appearances. The movie is ok, but it's worth watching just to try and pick out the cameos.

      Aw. Sean. "I'm not British! I'm Scotish!" Quick to play king of England for a paycheck and even quicker for knighthood. Funny that is.
