When Actors Showed Up Just to Say One Line in a Movie

Here are some movies where Actors Popped Up Just to Say a Single Line.

Thanks, Alex for the Voiceover

Having Marcel Marceau speak the only audible line in Silent Movie was absolutely brilliant.

Good ole “Cheech Marine”
Thank you for your service…

Kids these days, i swear…

Glenn Close being in Hook is something I never knew.

TheLaughPlanet could easily do 3 videos of Stan Lee one-line appearances 😎

Rob Schneider has more than one line in The Waterboy. He's literally in two different scenes. He's at the big party where Bobby reveals he was homeschooled, and Schneider says "Cut his head off!" and "Oh no! We suck again!"

"Cheech MARINE?..has a quick cameo in Ghostbusters"
This is either AI or someone clueless.

One of my all-time favorite cameos is Cate Blanchett as Simon Pegg's ex-wife in "Hot Fuzz". She investigates a murder scene and is almost unrecognizable in her hazmat suit. But okay, technically she has a bit more than one line, maybe three or four.

Wm Hurt in Spaceballs is absolutely the best cameo in cinematic history

OK did I miss something but who was the woman in “Rise of Skywalker” who said fire?

there is a scene in star trek generations where an actor pretty much replaces worf and says what worf normaly would say in the situation since worf was on the away mission and someone i guess needed to point out that a klingon bird of prey was deloacking to captain picard.

I am still giggling over the fact that "A woman" said FIRE!
Not an actor that showed up to say one line.
A woman said one line. No one famous. Just a woman.

I know who she is after looking, but come on 😁

Dan Aykroyd's cameo in Casper was funny too.

Hope's cameo in Spies Like Us is a nod to the movie's similarity to Hope and Crosby's "Road to <exotic place>" movies.

1:35 - "A woman appears and says just one word... " So ? Did you forget her name? A lot of movies have a lot of actors who only say one word.
Otherwise a good post.

This goes a ways back, but 1963's "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" is packed full of the best, most famous comedians of that time (possibly all time), whether playing main characters, supporting characters, or cameos. Two such notable cameos are Jack Benny simply saying his signature "Well..." and The Three Stooges (with Curly Joe DeRita at the time) simply standing in the middle of a road catastrophe as firefighters after the camera pans to them. They didn't even have to say a word or do anything and they were still funny!

[kerimbozkurt]

I think Sean Connery’s cameo was the best

[deathtoraiden]

Passing of the torch? More like throwing it in the trash.

[flacker]

Rob Schneider also said that one phrase in the longest yard

[neiladamson]

Spies like us was a modern remake of the bob hope and bing crosbie 'road to' movies, which is why they had bob in the cameo..

To be fair: Donald Trump wasn't the political figure we know today when he made an appearance in Home Alone 2, so it's understandable that people may not have noticed; and anyone who's not American probably wouldn't have known who Donald Trump is.
