8 Cameos/Minor Roles that Stole the Movie

That was the opening scene of the first Scream.

I really like that scene...
I like the way he acted on that part...

Lance Armstrong's cameo in Dodgeball was pretty classic:

"Quit? You know, once I was thinking of quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying of that's keeping you from the finals?"

Ned Beatty in Network. He is only on screen for 10 minutes tops, but his one rant is one of best in the entire movie.

Yeah, I forgot. That was in Scream.
Jada Pinkett-Smith was the one in Scream 2.

I wouldn't say it stole the movie, but of all the gags in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, there is none funnier than the silent cameo of Brad Pitt and Matt Damon as two annoyed, losing contestants on "The Dating Game." I just about fell out of my seat laughing the first time I saw it.

Brad Pitt . . . .. as Floyd the Stoner . . . . . .in True Romance . . . . . . . . fricktacular!
