Can you think of any instances where a famous actor plays a really small role, not a typical cameo, but one where the role is essentially an extra that just so happens to be played by someone who is a well-known actor. For example, Michael Ontkean (star of Twin Peaks and Slap Shot) as a background character in the movie The Descendants.
shareMaybe Alec Baldwin in The Departed? That was a small role, more than an "extra" but a much smaller part than I'd seen him play to that point

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan together in Iron Mask (2019). Their roles are weird, as if they were the main characters in the first 15 minutes, but then they're gone and never to be seen ever again.
Their apperarance also.doesn't really have anything to do with the story. Looks like it was supposed to be a cameo but somehow ended up way too long for a cameo.
