Michael Coate Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 It's not uncommon for directors to have fellow filmmakers appear in cameo and bit parts in their films. John Landis' and Joe Dante's movies, for instance, are fun to watch just for such appearances. This got me thinking: How often have cinematographers made a cameo appearance in a film they shot? Dean Cundey, ASC, for example, appeared (appropriately!) as the town square photographer in "Back To The Future Part III." And I recall Vilmos Zsigmond, ASC showing up in "Maverick." (Oh, and John Hora, ASC had a fairly big role in Dante's "Innerspace"...but he didn't shoot that one.) Any others??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Simpson Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'm pretty sure Chris Doyle played the villain in Andromedia (the Miike flick). I remember thinking "that cant really be him" and IMDBing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Irwin Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Michael Chapman has made a number of cameos in his various films. It's usually some random extra with a single line of dialogue, like a fireman or bellhop or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Anthony Vale Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hal Mohr in 'The Last Voyage'. Early on, he is a passenger with an SLR and other photogear hanging from his neck. AS he's walking down the stair case to the ship's lounge, some kid's run up the stairs past him. He says something to the effect that teenagers today have no respect.
